Ep.241: Food Communion: Rethinking What We Throw Away with Daniela Ochoa Gonzalez
It's the autumnal equinox as we record this one — rain all afternoon, a first cup of hot tea for the season, the kind of cozy day that makes you want to slow down and pay attention. Fitting, since Mary and Emma open this episode by pausing to say hello properly: a reintroduction, for anyone new to the podcast, of who they are and why they've kept this conversation going for years, even as the pace has slowed to something more sustainable than weekly.Then Mary sits down with Daniela Ochoa Gonzalez, a food systems circularity advocate who's spent more than fifteen years turning zero-waste ideas into real programs — from a green-barter pilot she built in her hometown in Michoacán, Mexico, to her current work here in the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve. Daniela's story moves through Cornell, a favela-inspired recycling exchange in Curitiba, Brazil, and a front-row seat to just how much food — avocados especially — travels a long, tender distance before it ever reaches an American kitchen counter.This conversation lands just ahead of Food Waste Prevention Week, and it's full of the kind of practical, no-guilt wisdom Daniela calls "food communion" — not just what we eat, but what we do with what's left over. Expect real numbers, real hacks, and a genuinely moving reframe of a habit most of us do without thinking twice.In this episode:Mary and Emma's reintroduction to the podcast — where Lady Farmer and The Good Dirt have been, and why the podcast has settled into a monthly rhythmDaniela's path from international relations and conflict resolution studies to food systems circularity, by way of Cornell, the Pan American Health Organization, and a green-barter pilot she built in Michoacán, MexicoThe Curitiba, Brazil program that inspired her work: exchanging recyclables for fresh produce in low-income communitiesWhat "food systems circularity" means — from soil to plate to what happens afterThe scale of avocado waste moving through the DMV region, and what that waste costs the farmworkers and land it came fromHow Daniela ended up in the Montgomery County Ag Reserve, and what she learned about the incinerator eight miles from homeThe difference between landfilling, incinerating, and composting — and why methane from food waste is a bigger climate issue than most people realizeA tour through the local composting landscape: decentralized vs. centralized composting, drop-off locations, and why "closer to home" mattersPractical food waste prevention hacks: the three-list system (pantry, fridge, freezer), "remix night," market traps, proper storage (onions and potatoes should never share a bin!), freezing bread and bananas, and moreConfusing food date labels — why "best by" doesn't mean "bad," and where to check if you're unsureFood Waste Prevention Week: what it is, when it runs, and how to find local and virtual eventsDaniela's monthly community group in Poolesville and how listeners can plug into food waste prevention where they liveResources & Links Mentioned:Food Waste Prevention Week — national campaign; this year runs September 28–October 4Save the Food — NRDC's food waste tips, storage guides, and recipesEat or Toss by Rachael Jackson — a science-based resource for deciding whether food is still safe to eat NourishNet — University of Maryland's NSF-funded food recovery initiative; free English/Spanish fact sheets available on the siteCompost Crew — DMV-area food scraps recycling and composting service, with Compost Outposts at One Acre Farm, ECO City Farms, Butler's Orchard, and GreenbeltRed Wiggler Community Farm — Germantown, MD care farm with a CSAKoiner Farms (Charles Koiner Center for Urban Farming, Silver Spring, MD)Regenerative Solutions — Daniela's freelance practice and monthly community group in Poolesville, MDEco City FarmsOne Acre FarmA note on the numbers: Daniela cites a number of statistics in this conversation (avocado waste tonnage, Montgomery County food insecurity figures, household spending, methane comparisons).

Ep. 240: The Future of Food with Jill Demers (Part 2)
A few weeks ago, we sat down with Jill Demers and couldn't stop talking...so, we came back for part 2!In this episode, we dig into the economics of small farming in America, and why the deck has been stacked against it for decades. Jill lays out the numbers plainly — most small farms operate at a loss, propped up by off-farm income, in a system that was never designed to sustain them. We talk about commodity crops, genetically modified seed, the vertical integration of the food industry, and what "get big or get out" actually did to the farms that used to feed us directly.But this isn't a doom-and-gloom conversation. Jill's real subject is reconnection, what she calls "farm hospitality," and what we'd call remembering something our bodies never really forgot. Because underneath all of it is the same idea Jill's been chasing for over twenty years: food is our deepest connection to nature, and the fracture in that relationship is costing us more than we realize...in our health, our communities, and our sense of belonging to the land under our feet.In this episode:Why 86% of U.S. farms are classified as "small" — and why most of them lose money every yearHow the "get big or get out" model took hold after WWII, and what it replacedWhat a commodity crop actually is (and why that field of corn you're driving past isn't headed to anyone's dinner table)The vertical integration of seed, chemical inputs, and distribution — and why it locks small farmers outGenetically modified corn, glyphosate, and what it means for our gut healthJill's concept of "farm hospitality" as a way to reconnect people to their food — and why many farmers resist itThe disappearance of farmland to development and, increasingly, to solar leasesFood deserts and systemic inequity on reservation land in MontanaWhy Jill encourages people to "start at the top of the food chain" (and what that means)The cultural narrative that food should be cheap — and why that narrative is doing real damageHow much less of our income goes to food today than it did in the 1950s, and what filled that gapThe "60 harvests" figure from Kiss the Ground — and what it means for how much time we actually haveWhy Jill believes consumer dollars, not policy, will be what shifts the system firstResources & Links Mentioned:ReWild Ranch — Jill Demers' regenerative farm, glamping, and retreat space in the Bitterroot Valley of MontanaKiss the Ground — documentary on regenerative agriculture and soil health, source of the "60 harvests" statisticListen to Part One: "Food As Our Deepest Connection to Nature with Jill Demers of ReWild Ranch" (Ep. 238)We'd love to hear from you.Has your own relationship to food or farming shifted this year, the way Mary's and Emma's has?

Encore: A History and Reflection on Emancipation with Tony Cohen
This episode initially aired on June 19th, 2021We have a special bonus episode for you this week in celebration of our newest national holiday-- Juneteenth! Mary and Emma reunite with author, historian and farmer Tony Cohen for an exploration into the history of Juneteenth and the holiday’s complex folklore and origins. Tony takes us back in time to examine how this monumental declaration of freedom spread in a variety of ways depending on the geographic, economic and social landscape of the time.Mary, Emma and Tony pause to reflect upon what freedom means and looks like in the modern era and why society continues to resist a hard look at injustice. Tony points to how altering behavior can feel like giving up our own freedoms and comforts and reminds us that the fair trade movement has deeply historic roots. He also reflects upon the transition from enslavement to the tenant farming system and points to how that system affects us still today. The trio grapples with some hard truths about freedom itself and acknowledges the work still left to be done. Tony shares how he celebrates Juneteenth at Button Farm and rejoices in community as he reflects upon the precious ability to gather and take new found enthusiasm into the world.

238. Food As Our Deepest Connection to Nature with Jill Demers of ReWild Ranch
Jill Demers is the founder of ReWild Ranch in Montana, a one-of-a-kind regenerative farm, wellness destination, and educational space, rooted in the one question she's been asking for over two decades: Why are Americans so disconnected from their food — and at what cost? As a regenerative farmer and certified nutrition therapy practitioner, Jill has built ReWild as an answer to that question — a place where the farm is the center point, and guests leave changed in ways that they will never forget.This conversation is rich, wide-ranging, and deeply resonant with everything Lady Farmer stands for. It's also the kind of talk that makes you want to go outside and put your hands in the dirt.In this episode, you'll hear about:Mary's return to growing her own vegetables — tomatoes, seeds, and all — as she and Emma transition away from their longtime CSAEmma's reflections on joining a new CSA and what food rhythms look like in a young familyJill's origin story: childhood memories of fresh-shucked corn, a lifelong obsession with food and ecology, and graduate school research on the Dust BowlWhat ReWild Ranch is — a regenerative farm, glamping destination, and women's retreat space in the Bitterroot Valley of MontanaThe three ways guests can experience ReWild, from passive glamping to immersive hands-on workshops and women's retreatsHow Jill's son Alder's autism diagnosis became the catalyst for her deep dive into nutrition therapy — and how dietary and lifestyle changes led to the eventual loss of his clinical diagnosisThe Dust Bowl: what caused it, what it revealed about soil health and industrial agriculture, and why Jill argues we may be living through something even more catastrophic todayGlyphosate, the gut microbiome, and the parallel between soil health and human healthThe "60 harvests" statistic — where it comes from and what it means for the future of foodWhy Jill believes feeding the world is not America's job — and what a "checkerboard" model of small-scale agriculture could look like insteadThe concept of "accidental education" and why ReWild is designed to connect people to food, nature, and each other in ways they can't unlearnWendell Berry, John Steinbeck, and the long literary tradition of writing about humanity's relationship with the landThe genuine constraints of local, seasonal eating vs the cultural reality of a food system that allows almost limitless food choices — and how to navigate that without guilt or rigidityResources & Links Mentioned:ReWild Ranch — Jill's regenerative farm, glamping, and retreat space in Montana (please verify URL before publishing)Kiss the Ground — documentary film on regenerative agriculture and soil healthThe Nature-Embedded Mind by Julia Plevin — mentioned by Mary; a psychotherapist's exploration of humanity's innate connection to nature (please verify author name and title before publishing)Zach Bush, MD — physician and researcher who speaks extensively on the shikimate pathway and glyphosate's effects on the microbiomeWendell Berry — essayist and farmer whose writing on agriculture and community Mary has been revisitingThe Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck — Jill's graduate thesis subject; discussed as an early work of ecological criticismMy Story as Told by Water by David James Duncan — mentioned by Jill as a formative readStay in touch & keep the conversation going:Have thoughts on this episode?

237. Composting as a Cultural Shift with Ben Parry of Compost Crew
This week, in honor of International Compost Awareness Week, we're joined by Ben Parry, CEO of Compost Crew — a small but mighty business in the DC metropolitan area helping thousands of households and businesses turn their food waste into something good for the soil. Ben's story is a quiet revolution in itself: a journey from renewable energy to regenerative soil, from powering the grid to feeding the ground beneath our feet.In this conversation, we dig into how composting is transforming what we throw away into a vital resource, the very real challenges of scaling community-based systems, and what it takes at the household, neighborhood, and policy level to shift our cultural relationship with food waste. Ben shares Compost Crew's growth from a small food-scrap hauler with a handful of customers to a regional force serving thousands of homes, the partnerships with local farms that bring composting full circle, and his vision for a future where dropping your food scraps into a compost bin is as ordinary as not littering on the highway.It's a hopeful, grounded conversation about the patient work of building better systems one bucket, one alley, one farm at a time.Main topics covered:The evolution of composting in the Washington, DC metro areaThe role of systemic infrastructure and community engagement in waste recyclingStrategies to overcome perceived barriers to food scrap compostingThe importance of local, transparent food systems and grassroots momentumFuture developments in composting technology and policyIn this episode:Ben introduces Compost Crew and its mission to keep food waste out of the landfillThe story of DC's curbside composting pilot and the ambitious plans to expand it citywideWhy systemic infrastructure and visibility matter when it comes to building participationHow social perception, education, and regulation shape compost adoptionThe Compost Outpost model — bringing composting to local farms like One Acre Farm in Dickerson, MDThe ripple effects of crises like COVID-19 and global conflicts on recycling supply chains and the case for local self-relianceThe cultural shift needed to treat composting as everyday normalcy — much like the "Don't Be a Litterbug" campaigns of decades pastFuture opportunities: composting in schools, hospitals, and wedding venuesResources & Links Mentioned:Compost Crew — Ben's company, serving the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia regionCompost Outpost at One Acre Farm — The farm partnership model bringing composting full circleBPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) — How to identify certified compostable bags and packagingThe Energy Switch by Peter Kelly-Detwiler — The book that shaped Ben's understanding of energy and resource transformationMontgomery County Food Scraps Recycling — Local food scraps recycling programs and resourcesKeep America Beautiful & "Don't Be a Litterbug" — The cultural campaign Ben references as a model for shifting normsConnect with Compost Crew:@_compostcrewListen, Subscribe & ShareIf this episode stirred something in you, share it with a friend who's curious about composting — or who's still on the fence about that bucket on the counter.

236. From Mary: Earth First Gardening with Melanie Cotillo of Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm
Spring has a way of pulling us back to the soil — and this season, Mary sat down with someone who has made the health of the soil and the well being of the pollinators and wildlife in her local ecosystem her first priority. Melanie Cutillo is the self-described Plant Wrangler in Chief at Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm in Mexico, New York, a backyard nursery nestled just east of Lake Ontario, where she grows native and wildflower plants entirely without plastic, peat, or synthetic inputs of any kind.It was a cold January morning walk to the mailbox and a chance encounter with a dried circle of New England aster in the snow that sent Melanie on a quest to grow native plants. The result is a farm, a philosophy, and a way of tending the earth that she calls "Earth First Gardening."This conversation is for every gardener who has ever come home from the nursery with a carload of beauty and a pile of plastic waste—wondering if there's a better way.Melanie and Mary talk about what it really means to be not just a gardener, but a guardian of the earth’s abundance. Whether you have many acres or simply a front porch, a city window or a community garden plot, this episode will remind you that what matters is how we tend to the land we have.In this episode, Mary and Melanie talk about:What makes Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm different from a conventional nursery — small scale, field-grown plants, zero plastic, and a focus on local ecotype native speciesThe January morning that started it all: a circle of New England aster in the snow and a pair of tracks that changed everythingWhy Melanie ditched plastic entirely — and how a 10-by-25-foot barn full of collected pots finally pushed her over the edgeThe alternatives she found and invented: soil blocking, wool pots, burlap wrapping, and growing in native soil without bagged amendments or peatWhy avoiding peat matters and what's lost when we use it: carbon sequestration, living soil, and a non-renewable resource extracted from ancient bogsThe difference between a native plant and a nativar — and why it matters enormously to the pollinators and wildlife that depend on themHow to ask better questions at your local nursery: Where does the seed come from? Can I bring back my plastic pots? Do you grow from seed on site?The concept of "tending" — and why you don't need land to do it. A street tree, a park path, a porch container can all be a place of care and relationshipNative hydrangeas, dahlias, echinacea, monarda, jewel weed, sweetgrass, and tulsi — stories of plant relationships that illuminate the beauty and intelligence of the natural worldMelanie's best tip for gardeners: make your seed list in July, at the height of the season, when you can see clearly what you have and what you truly need — then recycle the January catalogThe new paradigm: from consumer to guardian, from transaction to relationship, from gardener to grower of communityResources & Links Mentioned:Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm — Melanie's website, where you can also find wool pots for saleLazy Dirt Wildflower Farm on YouTube: youtube.com/lazydirtwildflowerfarmMelanie's Substack: So Wild Garden — behind-the-scenes of growing a four-acre habitat gardenGarden Circles — Melanie's monthly Zoom gathering for gardeners; third Tuesdays at 6:30pm, with in-person farm gatherings during the growing season (find the link on her website)Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererThe Wild Seed Project — native seed sourcingErnst Seeds — native seed supplierBlossom and Branch Farm / Brianna Groh — inspiration for Melanie's no-till, native-soil approachMount Cuba Center — research on native plants and their relationship to wildlifeMary Reynolds, previous Good Dirt guest, on the shift from "gardener" to "guardian"Wool Pots — available on Melanie's website; made in Britain from wool that would otherwise be discardedWe'd love to hear from you!Has this episode inspired you to try something different in your garden this season — a native plant, a plastic-free swap, or a new relationship with a tree on your street? We'd love to know. Send us an email at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com, or leave us a voicemail at 443-459-1950.
