Farm fresh food is one foundation of good health. Good farming creates an even greater foundation … and GREAT farming is what Lauren and Andrew Glikin do at Raw Roots farm in Mariposa CA. 

Lauren joins me to explain how they practice a farming system that supports biodiversity. They farm without tilling and  invite many species of critters to naturally enrich the soil which enhances the quality of their crops. The value they place on  agroecology is why they grow superb produce! Communities in the foothills of the Sierra are healthier because of their hard work and year round dedication. 

For myriad reasons, many people in the world don’t have access to farm fresh foods: geographically, seasonally, financially, culturally, or even a basic lack of culinary desire. I understand. I have been in each of those categories at one time or another. Not to worry, there’s other ways to improve your overall health.
