Ep 41: Abby Simonin & Carly Richardson – the fellowship of farm & food
Episode 41
Wednesday, 1 May, 2024

Most of us live largely disconnected from the production of our food, but whether or not we give it much thought, each mealtime puts us in relationship with our fellow creatures, the soil, the air and the water. Abby and Carly are farmers at A Rocha Canada’s Brooksdale, BC site. They tell us why a conservation organization grows, eats and gives away so much food, why they love to welcome inexperienced helpers who often slow them down, and what the rhythms of the seasons have taught them about living well. You might just find they make you want to pull on some muddy boots and head into the nearest field to get stuck in!
