Ep 24 - Planting Seeds of Change

Life's a garden, so dig it! We get into the weeds with Ben Cohen, Owner of Small House Farm and Founder of Michigan Seed Library to learn about the importance of seed saving. Ben gives tips for how to start saving seeds (both individually and as a community), and discusses how saving seeds and growing our own food can help us live a more sustainable life and become more self-sufficient.
