    16. Egg Yolk Coffee, Julian Dates, Folic Acid in Tortillas, Vibration Plates, and the Mexican Fruit Fly

    We test the viral egg yolk coffee (which we’re officially renaming custard coffee), explain the numbers on the side of your egg cartons (Julian dates), debate California’s new folic acid tortilla law, talk horse vibration plates, and end with an invasive Mexican fruit fly update. It’s food, farming, and facts; our favorite combo.

    14. Harry & David Pears, Horse Herpes, Milk in Schools, and Campbell's Soup

    This week on The Rooted and the Wild, we kick things off with Trader Joe’s Harry & David pears—because apparently nothing says holiday luxury like fruit wrapped in gold. We do a taste test to see if they really live up to the hype. Then we dive straight into the wild world of NFR prep and the latest equine herpes scare. We discuss what this means for horses, riders, rodeo teams, and Las Vegas. We also break down the big news from the school lunch front: 2% and whole milk are finally making their comeback, and yes… we talk about why chocolate milk sometimes has that questionable slimy vibe (you’re welcome). To finish off the episode, we go talk about the recently released files from the Campbell’s Soup VP and debate the usage of bioengineered meat.

    13. Turkey prices, the beef market, FFA jackets, and misleading labels

    In this week’s episode, we’re carving into the real Thanksgiving mystery: why turkey prices are doing their annual roller-coaster routine, or are they? From there, we wander into cattle country and ask the question everyone’s thinking but no one’s saying, who’s actually calling the shots on beef prices? We also chat about the surprise fashion trend of the season: FFA jackets. Yep, the blue corduroy is back and apparently ready for the runway. And while we’re on the topic of things that look good on the outside, we dig into food labels...what’s real, what’s misleading, and what definitely shouldn’t be fooling anybody. This early-Thanksgiving episode has us questioning everyone, but it makes us realize we're thankful for good food, good company, and the fact that we can laugh at ourselves when we don't understand food pricing, but we pretend anyway.

    12. Cranberry Bog Spiders, Soybean Tariffs, Animal vs Human Supplements, & Worm Farms

    This week on The Rooted and the Wild, we’re wading into cranberry bogs and meeting the spiders that live there, while wishing we could meet the men from the old Ocean Spray commercials. Then, Rosa shares some news that will hopefully make some farmers happy with an update on the soybean market and China’s recent move to buy U.S. crops. Angela found a way that some are getting their supplements at a discounted price...when they're purchased from the animal supply aisle! Lastly, we discuss the benefits of having 1000's of pets, especially when they're worms! This episode is a mix of fun ag stories you didn’t know you needed.

    11. Pomegranates, beef prices, Apricot Lane Farms, and Windover School

    In this episode of The Rooted and the Wild, we crack open the world of pomegranates, literally! Learn the best (and least messy) way to get those jewel-like seeds out, plus a few surprising facts about this ancient fruit. Then we dig into the rising cost of beef and explore what’s really driving those prices. We also shine a light on Apricot Lane Farms, a regenerative farm that’s changing the way people think about soil, animals, and sustainability. Finally, we head to Windover School, where an inspiring agriculture program is helping students connect with the land and grow their future, all while helping their community.

    10. Marshmallows, Pink Pineapples, Beans, and the movie Grow

    In this episode of The Rooted and The Wild, we’re serving up a sweet mix of farm-fresh stories and foodie curiosities! We start with the cozy comfort of homemade marshmallows (yes, they’re easier than you think), then discuss the Pinkglow Pineapple and what makes this Instagram-famous fruit so unique. Angela gets into BeanTok, aka the world of beans and why they're no longer the protein we thought they were. Finally, Rosa unpacks the themes of the film Grow, and questions if it was a cute kids movie, or if it had a deeper agenda. Whether you’re a gardener, foodie, or just love a good story about the land, this episode is a tasty mix of roots, sweetness, and wild ideas.

    9. Catch-up time and Agriculture Fact or Fiction

    In this unscripted and totally off-the-cuff episode of The Rooted and the Wild, Rosa and Angela catch up on all the wild, weird, and wonderful happenings at the Ventura County Fair. From behind-the-scenes stories to a few fairground rants (with love, of course), it’s a full-on debrief, even before opening day. Then, it’s time for a spontaneous game of Agriculture Fact or Fiction—where one of us may or may not confuse real farm science with TikTok trends. Think you know your ag trivia? Play along and see if you can beat us. It’s raw, real, and straight from our slightly-sunburnt fair brains. No script, all sass.
