Subtle beauty
“Let’s take a moment to remember what it’s like to be at home.”
My intention with this podcast is to explore the nuances that rest beyond the stereotypes.
In this first season, we’ll be exploring the answer to a question I was often asked over the years, “did you grow up on a farm?” For me, it’s more of a rhetorical question. I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I am Iowan. In my first full summer back, I learned about pizza farms and became very intrigued, discovering the reasoning behind it and the possibilities of farming and rural community building.
This season, you’ll hear from Anna Geyer, owner of the Land Alliance Folk School and Retreat Center in Oxford, Iowa. You’ll also hear from Kathy Byrnes, a teacher, writer, foodie, and climate activist, who is Founder and Director of Birds and Bees Urban Farm in Des Moines, Iowa. Last, you’ll hear from Dr. Brian Rumsey, Environmental Sustainability Administrator at Wartburg College, and Maren Beard, Owner and Operator of Luna Valley Farm in Decorah Iowa. And, this summer, I’ll begin again, taking you with me behind the scenes as I create the stories for the next season.
Thanks for listening to the trailer, and I look forward to rediscovering Iowa with you through this podcast and newsletter.
