We both burned our respective property in the same week and we decided to talk about it. The nuance of fire. The flames of passion. Rural enviro agriculture at the intersection of life and art. Cell coverage was good in both Americus and Waverly and the episode is clear as a spring fed creek. Anyways. Enjoy.--- Send in a voice message: https://podc…

Brandon is slinging fresh farm goods. Coop is trying to help farmers get whatever Federal money they deserve. Together we don't have the time to put together full episodes right now. Plus, who can keep up with the news? So, instead, we're offering brief conversations as the week goes by. Light-hearted, weird stuff because there's enough heavy out t…

We recorded this on March 17 during the first full week of the emergency response to the coronavirus. We talk about our impressions of what this all means, its effects on Brandon's business and the local food system, and where we might go from here. The conversation here is still evergreen. We'll continue to record every week to document the change…

Brandon delivers pastured pork in style, his current chariot of swine a curious effect of Amazon’s long tentacles within the economy. Donn traffics in acronyms and updates everyone on the lamentable state of grant programs and malfunction at the USDA. The episode winds down with a fairly substantive conversation about farm conferences and the speci…

Early reviews of this episode are in, and critics are raving: “So lo-fi it was almost incomprehensible, but I loved every minute of it.” The De Soto Gazette-Herald calls it, “A surprisingly pleasant hour considering so little preparation went into the final product.” Coop walks across town while trying out new audio equipment that makes him sound u…

We here! We didn't give up the podcast game, just got hella busy over the summer. The kind of busy where you're wore-ass out but can't remember what you accomplished. Brandon starts us back with discussing his pesky neighbors, Theresa and Daryl, and their complaints about his dogs. Theresa and Daryl, UGH. Then we get down to some solid farm talk, i…

What is this episode about? What is truth? Can we ever really know another person? We don't talk about none of that. Instead, we cover laughable Yankee tourist traps (we see you, Peach World), vague memories of Midway and the lost Sunbury Road, the cruel turn of weather in Georgia, the possible effects from African Swine Fever’s rampage through Chi…

Wyatt Williams joins us all the way from Indonesia to talk food writing, burnout, the perfect farm, marketing, and American meat.

Our first guest! We enjoy the honor and privilege of keeping company with Phil Spencer, the Community Manager at Farm’d.

We think you'll really like Phil and hearing about…

Finally, we’re back at our game of talking Georgia deep geography and trying on our curmudgeon hats. We talk about the dynamic physical and social upheaval in the Atlanta suburbs over the past 30 years — with a focus on Gwinnett County. Along the way we cover our dreams of writing, Flagpole magazine, bats, and sundry other things. Recordings from t…

We talk about how much January sucked. Along the way, we cover the Durdens again, pod bizness, the one and only Waverly Minit Mart, Coop’s brother, Goodie Mob, late night cravings, the intangibility of fathers’ love, death, the Georgia Organics conference, small farmers, and more. This is probably our best episode yet. Lots of good truck sounds. A …

We go way off script to talk about chickens, outdoor chickens, indoor chickens, chicken manure, chicken death, the ugly acts of livestock farming, and the persistent gloom and self-doubt of running a small business during the holidays.... Because mama always said the best way to treat your listeners right is to be as morbid and gross as possible. B…
