The Good Foods Podcast Shardan Sandoval

White Oak Pastures has been in Will's family for 6 generations and so you don't have to do the math, their place is a 158-year-old family farm situated in Bluffton, Georgia. Will Harris has been very blessed to have not only lived out his dream of taking over the family farm, but White Oak Pastures now boasts the fact that it's one of the largest employers in his county.

Will wrote A Bold Return to Giving a Damn and in it you'll live the history of his family and learn how he transformed how he approached farming and how that in turn, transformed White Oak Pastures.

It was an honor have Mr. Harris on the podcast and I hope that you'll enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed hearing his stories.

His research interests have included studies of basic mechanisms of dental plaque (biofilm) formation, and implications for health and disease. His laboratory has studied details of the interaction between salivary proteins and bacteria, and how these influence oral biofilms. 

He is also a pioneer in studies connecting oral and systemic diseases such as pneumonia, COPD, diabetes and cancer. A member of the University at Buffalo faculty since 1991. Dr Scannapieco served as the Chair of the Department of Oral Biology from 2004 to 2022. Over his career, he has mentored numerous junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate, dental and college students.

He was awarded a number of research grants over the course of his career, edited several books and journal supplements, and has published more than 170 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.

A fellow of the American Association of Dental Research, Scannapieco has received several awards, including the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, Distinguished Scientist Award in Oral Biology from the International Association for Dental Research, the William J. Gies Award for Achievement from the American Dental Education Association, and the Irwin D. Mandel Distinguished Mentoring Award, from the American Association for Dental Research.

There aren’t a lot of skincare product companies that can say that they're Vegan, Plant-based, non-toxic and cruelty free, but VegOut Organics can check off all those boxes.

It was my absolute pleasure to get to talk with Brad and Katie Wynne, co-founders of VegOut Organics, based out of Virginia Beach, Virginia. You'll learn how they met, how they started their company and how they seem to keep their sanity through the trials and tribulations. 

BRAD WYNNE: FOUNDER & CEO

Growing up in Virginia Beach, Brad was always outside in the yard and garden. At an early age,
he developed a true love of gardening from his grandfather. After graduating high school in
2000, Brad attended & graduated from Princeton University in 2004, where he also played on
the lacrosse team. He received his AB degree in Politics with a Certificate in Political Theory.

Brad went on to receive his MA from University of Virginia in 2005 in American Government and
Political Theory. He could have gone in any direction but decided he wanted to try and make a
difference. He became a middle school and high school history teacher and lacrosse coach for
the next eleven years. During this time, Brad married his wife Katie, and they had four
daughters relatively close together in age.

In 2015, he started Veg Out Gardens as a side project, which focuses on organic vegetable and
herb gardens. In 2016, Brad decided to follow his passion and work full time in Veg Out
Gardens.

In 2019, Brad founded Veg Out Pharm, which is a USDA certified organic hemp grower, USDA
certified organic hemp processor, and also able to provide USDA certified organic hemp extract
meant for human consumption.

In 2020, he then founded Veg Out Organics, which provides a full regimen of organic CBD and
plant-based skincare products. Veg Out Organics believes that if it's not safe to put IN your
body, it is not safe to put ON your body. Unbleached, unprocessed, skin nutrition that feeds the
skin and delivers. Veg Out Organics is "skincare that blooms."

KATIE WYNNE: CO-FOUNDER

Brad's wife Katie grew up in Savannah, Georgia. After high school in 1997, she attended The
University of Georgia and graduated with a degree in "Broadcast News" from the Henry W.
Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. During her years in college, Katie
interned for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" as well as CNN in London, England.

After graduating in 2001, Katie was one of 50 college graduates to be accepted into the
esteemed NBC Page Program in New York City. So, Katie followed her journalism dreams and
moved to NYC, where she would stay for the next four years, landing jobs at William Morris
Talent Agency, ABC's "Primetime Live," and WNBC.

In 2005, Katie left NYC to pursue local on-air TV news gigs in her hometown of Savannah, GA
as well as Charleston, SC. It was during this time that Katie met Brad at a wedding, and the rest
is history.

Thanks to her background in television journalism and her outgoing personality, you'll often find
Katie helping with social media and serving as Veg Out's "Grammar Guru." Katie also focuses
on local sales in the Virginia Beach area as well as pop-up trunk shows throughout the country.

It was my honor to have Mary back and this time, since it is Mother's Day 'month', I wanted her to share more stories of her mom.

Sadly, Mary lost her mother suddenly late last year, but she holds her memories in her heart and Mary's laughter, along with her husband Ted and son Ben, have been a source of comfort to her.

You'll find about her recent YT Million Milestone and so much more. Mary Bryant Shrader is the best-selling author of The Modern Pioneer Cookbook and a self-described "former New York City girl" who discovered the simple life with her husband in the Texas hill country. 

Mary is a modern pioneer in the kitchen who has spent the last twenty years teaching friends and fans alike how to make nourishing recipes using traditional methods and whole, seasonal ingredients. Her mission is to teach her followers how to make nutrient-rich meals using traditional "pioneer" techniques like fermenting, canning, and drying. 

I know you will enjoy it thoroughly and like her You Tube video's, she introduces this episode with her signature salutation, "Hello, Sweet Friends!"

Mix in 2 biologist, spice it up with 4 kids, be sure to add 2 working acres as needed and that sounds like a recipe for Broadfork Farm.

In this local edition of the podcast, I had the pleasure of having a wonderful converstation with owners Janet and Dan of Broadfork Farm. As they describe it, they're growing 'intensively' on just two acres while harvesting and packing for 200 Farm Shares each week plus a robust farmers’ market stand, an on-site Farm Stand, and two local grocery stores.
 
Dan Gagnon has been growing vegetables for 25 years, first as a gardener and for the past 13 years as a professional market grower. Dan’s approach to teaching and presenting is to provide nuts and bolts tangible information that growers can apply to make their farm’s operations more profitable, efficient, and resilient.

Dan resists a one-size-fits-all approach to farming and tries to assist growers to leverage their gifts and resources while minimizing their deficiencies and liabilities. Dan has farmed as co-owner of Broadfork Farm with his wife and business partner Janet Aardema since 2011 in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Dan and Janet have worked to build a resilient farm business that can handle both an unpredictable climate and an uncertain economy.   

Janet describes farming success as 50% soil and 50% systems. Appropriately managing both allows one to meet their farming goals! As co-owner of Broadfork Farm with her husband and partner Dan Gagnon, Janet enjoys helping others learn practical farming information with her pragmatic approach grounded in realism.

Drawing on her experience growing vegetables for market customers since 2011, Janet teaches learners to adopt systems-based-thinking in order to apply knowledge to the unknown future events inherent in farming.

Learning from soil and plants while walking gently on the shared earth, living mindfully while surrounded by vegetables and flowers, and mothering four children in the context of both makes for a life simultaneously uber rich, challenging, and ceaselessly full of learning opportunities. With patient explanations and a strong attachment to honesty and integrity, Janet thrives on helping others learn about growing and selling vegetables and I was blessed to be able to share their story.
