In this episode we zoom out from the micro (Will's maple counter, John's bullet journal) to the macro: bioregionalism! When it comes to practicing stewardship, scale matters. Who we build relationships with, how far we go to meet our basic needs, and where we draw the lines between "local" and "global" are vital questions, and bioregionalism can help us find answers.

In this episode we talk to Adam Dusen and Sunghee Kim, the owners and operators of Hundred Fruit Farm (https://www.hundredfruitfarm.com/) where we took our permaculture design course back in 2021. They are skilled farmers and teachers who have learned to use their space and resources wisely. In this follow-up episode to "Mend Your Fences, Prepare Your Larder" we take a closer look at how the winter months can be a time of both preparation and restoration. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
