Progressing LFTN's Food Forest: Start Through Maturity With Kerry Brown - EP 1110
Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce
Today, I am joined by Kerry Brown from Strong Roots Resources to talk through the new approach we are taking with the LFTN food forest and how he is using mother nature to progress the system through to maturity one season at a time. Tapping into what we know about the soil and conditions here, native plants, what the people in our community want to eat, and working toward a system that does not require many hours to maintain. When you work with nature, you develop systems that you can help along rather than battle with constantly. Sponsor 1: Sponsor 2: Featured Event: March 7

Featured Forage
We had a deep freeze and nothing is left, right? WRONG! Now is a time to look at things below ground. One of my favorites at this time of year requires that you look for the plant in the fall, mark where it is, then dig: Jerusalem Artichoke.
Cleaning
Favorite recipe: Steamed into a mash with butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Complements a steak beautifully without the glycemic impact of mashed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke for a picture.
These grow themselves and a little care will allow you to have many - but be careful about that many!
