“’OK,’ you say, “Well, there’s organic food in the supermarket.” It’s unaffordable, it is so expensive. Whereas if you buy from the people who you actually meet and you know, cut out all the middlemen, suddenly this good food becomes affordable.”
As a podcast listener you have already enjoyed Rob's original music in the intro, as well as the benefits of his careful mixing and editing - now he gets to sit in front of the microphone and share some of his thoughts!
Alison and Rob have spent a lifetime cultivating and working towards an ancestral lifestyle that encompasses every aspect of their lives, not just the meals on the table. In this intimate episode, they sit down together on a very hot summer day to share some details of their lives and how they have shaped their days into a rhythmic, peaceful pattern that serves them the way they need it to.
“When I die, I will have spent a lot of years washing up.”
