Episode 163: A New Chapter for Under the Canopy
This week, Jerry welcomes back Angelo Viola for fishing stories, a look behind the cameras of The Fish’n Canada Show, and a conversation about what’s next for Under the Canopy. Fresh from Two Rivers Lodge in northwestern Ontario, Ang shares how the crew filmed two episodes despite a tight weather window. Jerry recounts a 40-pike outing, and the two compare notes on fishing, chaga harvesting, and why unsuccessful days can teach us the most. They also discuss the closure of the Outdoor Journal ...

Episode 163: Durham College’s Living Lab For Sustainable Food
A college campus isn’t where most people picture the future of farming, but that’s exactly why this conversation surprised us. We’re joined by Kelly O’Brien, Associate Dean at Durham College, to talk about how their urban farms in Whitby and Ajax operate like living labs for sustainable agriculture, food security, and workforce development. Kelly walks us through what’s actually on these sites: market gardens, hoop houses, hydroponic growing (including a shipping container system), an apiary...

Episode 162: Ontario Stone and Gravel
You probably don’t think about gravel until a dump truck slows traffic or a new pit proposal sparks a neighbourhood fight, but the truth is bigger: your roads, sidewalks, schools, hospitals, and even the concrete under your feet all begin as stone, sand, and gravel. We connect those dots with Sharon Armstrong, executive director of the Ontario Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association, and unpack why aggregate is a “natural resource hiding in plain sight” across Ontario infrastructure. We get prac...

Episode 161: Cheese Under The Canopy
Cheese gets called “simple food” right up until you hear what actually goes into making it. We start with a bit of real life under the canopy, from sore muscles and gravel work to staying sharp outdoors after close calls with coyotes. Then we pivot into a full-on, listener-friendly breakdown of artisan cheese, because there’s a lot more happening in that wedge than most of us realise. Haley from Ontario Cheese Union joins us to talk about Ontario farmstead cheese and the makers behind ...

Episode 160: When Trees Send Warnings And Humans Build For Disaster
A rebar job should be about steel, skill, and showing up on time, right? We learned it can also be about trust at a level most people never see. Garrett joins me for a real-world update on life, work, and fatherhood, then walks through what it looks like to apply for access at Darlington OPG, where nuclear power plant security screening can take months and digs into years of travel history, identity checks, and multi-stage background reviews. We also get practical about chaga mushroom use an...

Episode 159: Green Tea Caffeine Depends On Farming, Processing, And How You Brew It
Tea talk gets weird fast: “orange pekoe has orange,” green tea is always low caffeine, and tea bags are loaded with microplastics. We wanted real answers, so we brought back tea industry veteran John Snell to help us separate myth from chemistry and hype from what’s actually happening in the leaf. From Sri Lanka to India, East Africa, China, and Vietnam, John explains how tea terroir works, why monsoons and elevation change flavour, and what tea “tips” really are when people talk about silver...

Epiosde 158: Cold Brew Under The Canopy
Cold drinks dominate the world, but most people still treat tea like it only belongs in a mug. We go the other direction and get specific: how we make Chaga cold brew that actually tastes good, how long we steep it, and how you can do it at home without turning it into a science project. You’ll hear the two blends we’ve been sampling at events, including a green tea and matcha option, plus Ruby G, a deep ruby mix built around hibiscus, red beet, chicory, lemon extract and Chaga for a refreshi...

Episode 157: Foraging Finds And Garlic Growing Tips From A Master Gardener
You can grow a great garden and still lose a crop if you miss one invisible detail. We get into that reality with garlic, where a listener question opens the door to the unglamorous stuff that actually decides your harvest: nematodes, leek moth, and what “clean seed” really means when you plant year after year. Bev, our master gardener guest, breaks down what to watch for on garlic scapes, why regular crop walks matter, and how fall cleanup and crop rotation reduce the pests that overwinter i...
