Why Are We Letting Small Farms Die? EP 47
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m pouring my heart out about food freedom, the farmer’s mindset, and why small-scale agriculture just might save the world. We’re talking grit, government overreach, and how the heck we got from homemade buns to preservative-filled grocery store shelves. I share wild stories from my farming days—broken bones, tornadoes, angry sheepdogs—you name it. But more importantly, I’m sounding the alarm (again!) that small farmers are being pushed out, and now is the time to rise. Whether you’ve got a backyard garden or a quarter section, you’ve got the power to feed your family, your community, and take back control. Let’s get loud about local food, y’all. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: food freedom, small farmers, grocery store bureaucracy, Canada GAP certification, farm to table sales, farmer grit, government overreach, climate mandates, dairy quotas, big ag vs. small ag, debt-free farming, raising farm kids Takeaways: Small-scale farming is vital for food security Bureaucracy often favors large farms over local ones You don’t need massive land to start a farm business Farming builds grit and a different kind of work ethic Buying direct from farmers supports freedom Big farms are more vulnerable to government pressure You can build a profitable farm-to-table business without debt ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

In this episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I get grilled by none other than Jamie Stewart—the poop queen herself! Jamie flips the script and puts me in the hot seat with questions about pesticides, glyphosate, raw milk, GMOs, soil health, and the messed-up reality of food regulations. We talk about how farmers actually make decisions, what’s realistic vs. ideological, and why the truth often lies somewhere in the muddy middle. We cover everything from butterfly worms in your cabbage to bird flu conspiracies, raw goat milk in my coffee, and why I’d never call the CFIA. If you’ve ever wondered what the heck is really going on with our food system, this one’s for you. It’s gritty, it’s real, and there’s a whole lotta dirt—pun intended. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: pesticides, soil health, food freedom, bureaucracy in farming, CSA support, bird flu, glyphosate truth, Roundup desiccation, raw milk benefits, backyard chickens, seed myths, regenerative farming, food system control Takeaways: Most farmers don’t want to spray unless they have to “Organic” doesn’t always mean no spraying—it just means certified inputs Backyard chickens + scraps = rich yolks and healthy eggs Raw milk can be incredibly healing for the gut Supporting local farmers shifts the food system Big farms are a symptom of broken policy, not villainy Ideals are great—but practicality keeps the lights on ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Jessica’s Instagram: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Real Homesteading is Messy as Hell w/ Becky Frame EP 41
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I sat down with Becky from Toby Way Farm and oh baby, did we go there. We’re talking raw, real farm life: goat guts, chicken math, and why your organic ideology might be killing your animals (not to mention your wallet). Becky and I don’t sugarcoat things because life on a homestead isn’t Pinterest-perfect, it’s dirty, hard, heartbreaking, and 100% worth it. We dig into goat parasites, feed decisions, farm math, and what it really means to be a modern homesteader with integrity. We even get into government overreach, raw milk laws, and why you can eat the Twinkie if you damn well want to. This episode is pure gold for anyone navigating the tension between doing it “right” and doing what actually works. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: goat math, raw milk, organic myths, animal loss, real farming, parasite management, farm-to-table realities, farm community, food freedom, government overreach, holistic animal care, starting small Takeaways: If you have livestock, you’re going to have dead stock Parasite management in goats is essential and requires learning, not guessing Organic doesn’t always mean better—it has to make financial sense Community is key—barter, trade, and connect with local farmers Chickens are not vegetarians—stop pretending they are Real homesteading isn’t perfect, it’s practical Grace is just as important as grit on the farm ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / Becky’s Instagram: Becky’s Website: Becky’s Facebook: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

How Hydroponic Lettuce is Saving a Province with Mackenzie Warford aka Papa’s Farm | EP 39
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m talking lettuce—but not just any lettuce. I sat down with the incredibly passionate and slightly wild Mackenzie Warford of Papa’s Farm in Newfoundland, where he’s growing top-tier romaine lettuce year-round using a hydroponic system that puts most operations to shame. We dive into his “hippie greenhouse,” his geothermal setup, his zero-pesticide practices, and why he’s dead set on feeding his family and community the highest-quality food possible—without a dime of government funding. We go deep on why Canada’s food system is broken and how local, small-scale farmers like Mackenzie are the solution. If you’ve ever doubted hydroponics, this episode will flip the script and maybe make you crave some crunchy romaine while you’re at it. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: hydroponics, romaine lettuce, food sovereignty, small farm business, greenhouse growing, kids in agriculture, local food systems, nutrient density, Canadian farming, off-grid innovation, gut health, circular economy Takeaways: You don’t need a massive setup to grow food year-round Hydroponics can be sustainable, ethical, and local Canadian-grown food is essential for national food security Flavor and nutrient density are drastically better when grown locally Small farms can feed entire communities with one crop Government isn’t the solution—community is Kids thrive when raised close to food production ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / MacKenzie’s Facebook: MacKenzie’s Website: Canadian Hydroponics Association: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Why I Ditched Vegetables to Heal Lupus with Holly Beck EP 31
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt I sat down with Holly Beck, a lupus coach, autoimmune warrior, and absolute firecracker of a woman, who shared her 20-year journey through chronic fatigue, a lupus diagnosis, and finding healing through food, farming, and fierce self-advocacy. This one’s personal (my dad had lupus too) and it was powerful to talk about the truths nobody tells you about autoimmune disease. We dug into the carnivore diet, how food actually impacts our bodies, the problems with our grocery store system, and why CSA boxes and farm-raised meat might just be the cure we’re all ignoring. We also had some real-deal talk about what it means to return to community, raise food the old-fashioned way, and find freedom in knowing your farmer. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve got autoimmune symptoms, care about food freedom, or just want to learn how to eat and live like your great-grandma did…with purpose, joy, and connection. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, lupus diagnosis, carnivore diet, plant-based myths, farming, community supported agriculture, food system breakdown, homesteading, seasonal eating, meat as medicine, healing through nutrition Takeaways: A lupus diagnosis doesn’t have to be a death sentence Food can be medicine—or poison Carnivore and animal-based diets are powerful tools for healing Seasonal, local eating supports health and circadian rhythm Our global food system is broken—we need local farms You don’t need complicated meals to be nourished True health starts in community, not policy ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: Holly’s Instagram: Holly’s Podcast: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m flipping the mic around and letting the magic woman behind this podcast—my editor, my podcast manager, and my dear friend Carley—put me in the hot seat. We go deep into the truth about organics (spoiler alert: it’s not as pure as you think), the real reason food has become so disconnected from our communities, and why modern homesteading isn’t all sourdough and sunshine. I share the behind-the-scenes truth about farming, self-sufficiency, the BS of food labels, and how we take our power back one tomato plant or backyard chicken at a time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed about where to start or you’ve been romanticizing a life off-grid, this episode is your permission slip to start small and reclaim your power. It’s time to get dirty—in the best way. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: organic myths, food freedom, self-sufficiency, local vs organic, farming debt, big ag corruption, seasonal eating, homesteading reality, raising chickens, empowering children, food frequency, community barter systems Takeaways: Organic labels can be marketing more than meaning Local, fresh food may beat imported organic in nutrition Small farmers are being squeezed out of the system Everyone can start with something—garden, chickens, or sourdough Community is essential for true food freedom We’re more empowered when we participate in our food system Seasonal eating aligns with our bodies and nature ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / Carley’s Instagram: Carley’s Website: Carley’s Podcast: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Pete shares his powerful journey from growing up in an agricultural region of India to buying a farm in Alberta with his wife and kids—no days off, no plan B, just passion and grit.

In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m telling the raw, unfiltered truth about farmers markets and buckle up, because it’s not what you think. I spill the beans on what really goes on behind the booths: the politics, the lies, the reselling, and how it all contributed to the downfall of my farm. I take you through my journey as a second-generation farmer who went from thriving to surviving in a system that claimed to support farmers but did the opposite. This episode is for anyone who’s ever believed that farmers markets were sacred ground. It’s honest, emotional, and might ruffle some feathers but the truth deserves to be told.

In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I sit down with my fellow coach and absolute powerhouse of a human, Wade from Red Haven Coaching. This one’s real, raw, and tender in all the right ways. Wade shares the gut-wrenching story of supporting his wife through a surprise cancer diagnosis just after childbirth, navigating hospitals, chemo, and life as a brand-new dad with grace, grit, and unshakable commitment. We talk about the deep cracks in the medical system, how to hold compassion for healthcare workers and still advocate fiercely, and what it means to be a caregiver when your world is flipped upside down. We also dive into the real-life homesteading they’re doing (hello, goat milk and 75-foot tomato plants!) and how their healing journey led them to ditch toxic food, chemicals, and even belief systems. This episode is a love letter to resilience, real food, human grace, and the often-overlooked warriors behind the scenes. If you’re a caregiver, know one, or love a good story about rising strong — this one’s for you. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: caregiving, cancer survival, homesteading, real food, healthcare advocacy, childhood education, grace under pressure, hospital trauma, family resilience, clean living, medical mistrust, healing through lifestyle Takeaways: Caregivers need just as much support as patients It’s okay to question the healthcare system respectfully Your kids can thrive with real-world education on a homestead Holding grace for human error doesn’t mean avoiding advocacy Nutrition and environment play a huge role in healing Sometimes the hardest battles happen in silence True strength is found in choosing love over anger ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / Wade’s Instagram: Wade’s Website: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Raw Dairy, Glyphosate & Other Uncomfortable Truths EP 26
In today’s solo episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m diving headfirst into the gritty, messy, beautiful truth behind ideologies in farming, food systems, and homesteading. People love to tell farmers how to farm—but unless you’ve pulled a calf in a snowstorm or had your whole crop threatened by hail, maybe zip it. I get real about glyphosate, organics, raw dairy, and the bureaucratic nonsense that’s choking out small farms. I share my own journey from running a greenhouse and market business to selling it all to protect my legacy—and feed my kids. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by food choices, government rules, or the fight between “right” and “wrong” in agriculture, this episode is your breath of fresh air. It’s about freedom of choice, love for the land, and trusting people over systems. Whether you’re a homesteader, a grocery-store shopper, or somewhere in between, this one’s for you. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: farming ideologies, homesteading truth, food freedom, glyphosate debate, raw dairy advocacy, government overreach, organic vs conventional, regenerative agriculture, farmer’s markets reality, freedom of choice, small farm survival, bureaucracy in food systems Takeaways: You can’t fix a broken system with the people who broke it Most farmers are doing their best with what they’ve got Regenerative agriculture is a long game, not a quick fix Bureaucracy is killing the small farm and the real farmer’s market Raw dairy can be safe when handled properly Freedom of choice must include all choices—even ones we wouldn’t personally make You can be the change by growing even a single plant ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

The Lie of the “Perfect” Homesteading Mom with Britt Geleta EP 24
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re diving into the raw, real, and often messy world of being a mom, an entrepreneur, and a human who’s just trying to do it all without losing her damn mind. I’m joined by Britt Geleta, a badass coach helping entrepreneurial moms break free from burnout, mom guilt, and the suffocating expectations society dumps on us. We get into the real talk about why so many women feel like they have to do everything—and why that’s complete bullshit. Britt shares how she helps women cut through the noise, set boundaries, and actually prioritize themselves without the guilt trip. We talk about why self-care isn’t selfish (it’s a damn business strategy), how to rewire your mindset for thriving, and why perfectionism is a scam we’re all done falling for. If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in expectations, this one’s for you. Get ready to ditch the guilt, take up space, and put yourself first for once. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: burnout, mom guilt, entrepreneurship, mindset shifts, self-care as a business strategy, perfectionism is a scam, setting boundaries, feminine vs. masculine energy, breaking generational conditioning, community over comparison, delegating without guilt, thriving over surviving Takeaways: Self-care is not selfish; it’s a business strategy Mom guilt is learned—ditch it and reframe your mindset Setting boundaries is key to avoiding burnout and resentment Perfectionism is a lie—progress over perfection wins every time Trust yourself and stop looking for external validation Community is the missing piece for so many women; build one Small, consistent shifts will change your life more than one big overhaul ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: Britt’s Instagram: Britt’s Podcast: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Why Farmers Are Fighting Back with Jason Jackson EP 23

Why Farmers Are Fighting Back with Jason Jackson EP 23
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re digging into the realities of modern farming with Jason Jackson—fifth-generation farmer, part-time high school teacher, and full-time straight shooter. We’re getting real about the bureaucratic mess that farmers have to wade through just to keep food on your plate. From the government’s failure to fund plant breeding to the shady world of data ownership and the infuriating fight for the right to repair farm equipment—this conversation is an education in what’s really happening behind the scenes in agriculture. If you think farming is just tractors and dirt, buckle up. Jason breaks down how policy decisions are making it harder for small and mid-sized farms to survive, how corporate greed is taking over seed and equipment markets, and why he’s pushing back against regulations that make no damn sense. Whether you’re a farmer, a food-lover, or just someone who doesn’t trust the government (same), you need to hear this one. Let’s get into the dirt. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: government policy, plant breeding, data ownership, right to repair, small farm struggles, corporate control, reducing emissions, farming economics, food security, seed laws, big vs. small farms, freedom in agriculture Takeaways: Government funding for plant breeding is crucial for food security Small farms struggle because they can’t afford the million-dollar equipment required to compete Data collected by farm equipment companies can be sold without farmers’ consent, giving corporations the upper hand Right to repair is about more than tractors—it’s about keeping farmers independent and self-sufficient Credit programs designed to “help” farmers often just keep them trapped in debt Policy decisions need to be made with farmers, not imposed on farmers Supporting local farms and food sources is the best way to push back against corporate control ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Why Your Garden Will Save You (and the World) EP 22
In today’s solo episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re diving into the gritty, glorious world of growing your own food—no matter how much space you have. I’m breaking down the real reasons why you need to get your hands in the dirt, from saving money to eating food that actually has flavor (because let’s be real, grocery store tomatoes taste like disappointment). I also share my personal journey from running a 36,000-square-foot greenhouse to learning how to grow for joy, not just survival. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your garden work for you, whether you’ve got a quarter section of land or just a tiny balcony, this episode is for you. We talk about food security (hello, 2020 toilet paper crisis!), why store-bought produce is basically nutrient-dead, and how growing your own food is the ultimate act of self-sufficiency. Plus, I’m spilling my four easiest crops to grow—no green thumb required. Let’s dig in! ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: food security, small-scale farming, sustainable growing, self-sufficiency, flavor vs. store-bought, crop rotation, easiest vegetables to grow, pruning for better harvests, cost-saving gardening, mental health benefits, community food sharing, garden planning Takeaways: Grocery store produce loses nutrients fast—homegrown food is always better Food security matters more than you think—don’t wait for the next crisis Gardening isn’t just about food, it’s about mental health and connection Lettuce, green beans, zucchini, and tomatoes are the easiest crops to start with Pruning and stressing tomato plants helps them ripen faster and grow stronger You don’t need a huge farm—grow what you can, wherever you can Gardening builds stronger communities—share your surplus and swap crops ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

Farmers Aren’t the Problem...The System Is with Kenisha, Melissa & Shane EP 21
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re diving deep into the truth about food, sovereignty, and breaking free from the systems that want to control us. I’m joined by Shane, Kenisha, and Melissa—three absolute powerhouses who are reclaiming their independence through private membership associations, real food, and real community. We’re talking about the war on farmers, why our food is making us sick, and how government overreach is quietly slipping into every aspect of our lives. If you’ve ever wondered why your food doesn’t taste the way it used to, or why your kids are being taught that farms are the enemy, buckle up—this episode is for you. We expose the toxic middlemen who control our health, wealth, and freedom, and we lay out exactly how to take it back. Whether it’s detoxing from the poisons in our food and water, learning how to grow your own, or simply waking up to the reality of our world—this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: freedom, small business, finding strength, building community, food sovereignty, government overreach, detoxing, private membership associations, real medicine, critical thinking, homeschooling, self-determination Takeaways: The food system is intentionally broken—what you buy in stores isn’t real food Private membership associations can help people reclaim their health, business, and freedom Schools aren’t just failing kids—they’re indoctrinating them The middleman (government, corporations, healthcare) is the real enemy of sovereignty Knowing how to grow your own food is a survival skill, not a hobby Non-participation in corrupt systems is the key to true freedom Blood analysis is exposing hidden toxins that are affecting even unvaccinated children ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: YYC Rocks Website: Cell Food Website: ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

$7 an Hour & Zero Sleep: The Reality of Young Farmers with Ruben & Matt EP 20
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re talking about hard work, grit, and what it really takes to make it in farming. I’ve got two incredible young men, Ruben and Matt, who are just 20 years old and already breaking into the world of agriculture. These two aren’t just sitting around waiting for opportunities—they’re chasing them down with everything they’ve got. We dig into the brutal reality of land prices, the cutthroat world of renting farmland, and why so many young farmers are being priced out by big corporations. But these guys? They refuse to back down. They’re getting creative, working off-farm jobs to fund their dreams, and finding mentors in older farmers who believe in keeping agriculture alive. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it really takes to build a farm from scratch in today’s world—without rich parents or corporate backing—this episode is for you. Get ready for an honest, no-BS conversation about sacrifice, resilience, and chasing a dream most people wouldn’t dare to touch. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: farming struggles, land prices, young farmers vs. corporations, off-farm income, entrepreneurship, agriculture legacy, direct marketing vs. traditional sales, mentorship in farming, risk-taking in agriculture, working for $7/hour, generational wisdom, making it work against all odds Takeaways: Farming today is nearly impossible without off-farm income Land prices are so high that young farmers rely on renting instead of buying Older farmers often prefer to rent to younger farmers rather than corporations Direct marketing beef is a challenge but can be more profitable than selling at auction Hard work and grit matter more than money in farming success Mentorship from older farmers is key to learning the business side of agriculture You can’t be afraid to take calculated risks if you want to survive in farming ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: / ______________________________________________ Love what you’re hearing on Dawn’s Dirt?

They Want Us Fighting—Here’s Why We Shouldn’t With Lisa Szabon-Smith EP 19
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m sitting down with my friend Lisa Szabon-Smith, the powerhouse behind Fearless Changemakers. We met at a barter pay event, hit it off instantly, and I knew I had to bring her on the podcast. Lisa is a former elite bobsledder turned gym owner turned unapologetic truth-teller who isn’t afraid to challenge the system. We dive deep into the mess that is modern politics, how division is being used as a control tactic, and why people are too scared to ask the hard questions. We talk about leadership (or the lack of it), the dangers of living in political silos, and why real power is in the hands of the people—if we’re willing to use it. This conversation is about building bridges instead of burning them, finding courage in the chaos, and remembering that we can disagree and still love each other. Buckle up, because this one’s going to challenge you. ______________________________________________ Episode Highlights: conversation over division, political silos, fearless leadership, questioning narratives, true advocacy, leading with love, building bridges, rejecting fear-based decisions, power of community, redefining success, finding personal truth, creating positive change Takeaways: Respecting different viewpoints strengthens relationships True leadership listens to the people, not just policy Fear-based decisions strip personal power and freedom The extremes on both sides mirror each other more than they realize Conversations—not arguments—create change Political engagement doesn’t require picking a side, just asking better questions The quality of your relationships determines the strength of your community ______________________________________________ Links & Resources Mentioned Visit Dawn’s Website: Dawn’s Instagram: Lisa’s Instagram: Lisa’s Website: ?
