{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Fair Hill Farmstead Life","slug":"fairhillfarm","podcastDescription":"Judith Farrell Horvath started as a business exec and weekend-warrior homesteader till she was busted for having illegal backyard chickens in suburbia. With her husband and kids along for the ride, they went all-in, starting their own family farm in Central Ohio. Her mission: building and growing resilient local food supply networks of the future - one new regenerative farmer and farm/ranch at a time. Today, through workshops, consulting and public speaking, Judith showcases stories of success and struggle to encourage a new generation of regenerative farmers and entrepreneurs in adjacent areas of earth-friendly agriculture. Resilience, gratitude, community, and ecological regeneration are the guiding principles at Fair Hill Farm, since 2013. http://www.fairhillfarm.com","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/15760879/CoverArtPodcast1400_hw22ut_7kwgy7.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/15760879/CoverArtPodcast1400_hw22ut_7kwgy7_1200x628.jpg?s=33eb5cc27010c86b803f84af5b48d9c4&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://fairhillfarm.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/fairhillfarm/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-c99sv-f07def","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":48,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Judith Horvath, Fair Hill Farm","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-c99sv-f07def-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":7200,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fair-hill-farmstead-life/id1723274275","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Ffairhillfarm.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog15760879%26podcastIdTag%3Dc99sv&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Ffairhillfarm.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/34mTgAYQ6zeDy7c9FYAbUn","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b735f8b1-b5cb-4945-9f2a-6363b891c21f","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/138895097","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3543761","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/fair-hill-farmstead-life-5571130","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/87070","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

The era of regenerative agriculture is now and it's what we talk about!

It's the end of cheap easy petroleum, mass use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and large scale soil-microbe killing methods. We understand the dangers now and we know we need to leave this system behind. It has to be- we are losing topsoil at an alarming rate. Our current system requires 20 kcal of energy for every 1kcal of food produced. It's mathematically unsustainable.

Today, as a farmer, I see change happening in a big way! It's exciting to see this new paradigm take hold across the world. But it's going slowly and it requires a LOT more small farmers and participants at the local level, and that's where YOU come in.

From agrihoods to ranches... farmstead or little urban homestead - we are your biggest fans. We are telling your stories on our podcast! Our goal is to see regenerative farmers madly successful, no matter how small. We want to see people reconnecting with where their food comes from and meeting the people who grow it and raise it.

Be part of creating a local, resilient food supply chain with nutrient dense clean food. Whether you are a farmer, a rancher, or a supporter - every participant matters and everyone has a part to play. It's all hands on deck. Your local farmers, community economy, our environment, and ultimately, our own health and survival as the dominant species on Earth is at stake.

In the 1940s 80% of Americans lived on farms. There were no big grocery store chains. Today, just 2% of the population are farmers. We have lost much generational knowledge so it takes a long time to re-learn farming. So come along and learn about where your food comes from. Meet the people who are dedicating their lives and efforts to making a difference.

Here's to a future of health and abundance. Reconnect with where food comes from and participate in the process with love and understanding. Not at a grocery store, but with a local farmer, a CSA, a Co-op, or a farmers market.

These are my hands and the peppers I planted, grew, and harvested. Full of life energy and grown in the compost from my own farm in Ohio. Nothing better. Come along with me and enjoy the entertainment, education, and encouragement on Fair Hill Farmstead Life.

Eat what you grow, share knowledge, and pay it forward.
