    Royce Akers (Pep) - adding some spice

    Royce Akers is one third of Pep, a peppy new Australian brand shaking up the world of pepper. Even though pepper has a dramatic and storied history, a driver of fortunes and cross-cultural connection, Royce and his friends thought it had lost its way a little: ubiquitous but under appreciated, rarely elevated or feted in the same way that salt is, for example. From lack comes opportunity… https://eatpep.com/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

    Bruce Maynard (Wheat and Sheep farmer) - valuing diversity and soil health

    Bruce Maynard isn’t farming like those around him. His fields at Willydah, west of Dubbo in NSW, look different, greener, wilder, a little more chaotic. He’s a wheat and sheep farmer like many in the region, but he’s just as interested in lizards, migratory birds and native legumes as grain yield. Where the system pushes for simplicity, he’s valuing diversity and soil health, and looking for ways that agriculture can be both profitable and sustainable. Read my story about Bruce Maynard and another wheat farmer and previous podcast guest, Jason Cotter. https://www.theage.com.au/national/in-100-years-one-wheat-farming-family-had-never-tasted-their-own-flour-until-now-20250428-p5luos.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

    Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 7 - The Producers: Claire Morgan (Rupanyup Living) - farmer, maker and regional advocate

    Claire Morgan is a farmer, maker and regional advocate, helping people understand where their food comes from and how important it is to have thriving rural towns. She’s growing chickpeas and making chickpea brownies and along the way she’s showing locals and visitors that Rupanyup really is a ‘town with pulse’. This episode is part of a special Dirty Linen and Producers series about the Grampians, Wimmera and Mallee regions in western Victoria. We drove the roads, saw the sights, said hello to the roos and emus, met the people, ate the food, drank the wine and generally soaked up the delights. Listen to more episodes about the Grampians Wimmera Mallee. We hope you’ll plan a trip to the region and listen to stories of this fun, fascinating part of the world as you travel. The series is supported by Visit Victoria. https://rupanyupliving.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOopoNMln-0khgObt-mF1sxeORHxHyU4CawP8eSRTJS4B07Jf_QWs SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..
