#2 - Growing Through Life, Seed and Grain Heritage, and Urban Agriculture with Frances Craik

Hello Earthlings!

Today I am excited to bring you a wonderful episode with a dear friend, Frances Craik! Frances has had a huge impact on my life in more ways than one and it was so fun to dive into these different farming topics.

Frances is an urban agriculturalist, a seed protector, and a true flower in the garden of this Earth. Fran graduate from Arizona State University with a Bachelors Degree in Urban Planning and Sustainable Food Systems and Minored in Sustainability.

In this episode, Frances shares a bit about her story and the growth she has endured in the past 4 years or so traveling and working on different farms in different states and climates. We talk about seed culture and ancient grain heritage and the importance of how this helps strengthen our food source here on Earth as well as human connection. Diving into what is urban agriculture and why creating community and sustainable regenerative living around food source is so important. I also get to ask Fran a few questions about the Soul lessons she has learned as a child of the Earth working in the gardens and how it translates into her own personal growth.

Frances offers a wide array of knowledge on where to start when looking at building your own garden as well as offering some beautiful blossoming insights from dirt to seed to fruitful harvest of life.

It brought me great joy to have this conversation with her and I certainly learned a lot about different farming practices and sustainable living and I believe you will too.

So much gratitude for you giving this episode a listen my friends!

Much Love
