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...

Episode 156: Mushroom Grow Kits Made Simple
Fresh mushrooms don’t have to be a grocery store gamble. We’re talking with Corey from Mushrooms of the Valley, tucked near the Madawaska River in Ontario’s Hastings Highlands, about what it really takes to grow gourmet mushrooms at home and why a simple sawdust block can turn into a legit harvest on your kitchen counter. We get specific about the mushrooms he’s growing and selling: pink oyster mushrooms, white oysters, golden oysters, and the Phoenix oyster that holds its colour in warm wea...

Episode 155: Wildfire Smoke And Forest Health
Smoke in the air has a way of snapping our attention back to the natural world. We start with what it feels like when wildfire haze rolls in, then zoom out to the less obvious forces that shape forest health every day, the kind you might notice first as a few “mystery” conifers turning brick red along the road or at the edge of your camp. I’m joined by David Dutkiewicz from the Ontario Invasive Species Centre, and we get practical fast. We sort out common tree ID mix-ups (spruce vs bal...
