Compassion made yummy

This podcast combines the best aspects of storytelling, land cultivation, community, and a big old dose of love! I enjoy how it offers ways to cultivate all parts of my life through food and land.

Yes!

I love this podcast! I really appreciate the intersection of food and social justice that you bring and also your personal voice/opinions are always appreciated. I’ve been loving the gas you’ve been bringing on and how you bring out the relaxed and authentic expression of each person.
Thank you for sharing this work with all of us!
