When the apocalypse comes, what will we eat?

“There’s a feeling to it that’s kind of satisfying in that way. It doesn’t feel so much like we could survive on it, as we’re able to provide some of our sort of staple foods.” On today’s show we’re continuing to celebrate our 15th anniversary with a favorite story from 2020 about my visit to a farm East of Bloomington Indiana, to speak with Denise and Sean Breeden Ost.  We talked about growing food, preserving food and eating food.  We check out their dry bean threshing techniques and reflect on the notion of  food self-sufficiency. Plus, food news from Harvest Public Media.
