Your grandparents didn't panic when food ran short.
They didn't have DoorDash or Costco.
They had skills.

• They knew how to spot nutrition in the weeds.
• How to make medicine from bark and roots.
• How to thrive when others fell apart.

It's called foraging.
And it's not just a hobby—it's how your bloodline made it this far.
Today, that knowledge is almost gone.
But if you've got the will to learn it—you'll never be helpless again.
Most people wait until it's too late.
They don't realize they're missing the one thing that could keep them alive when the system buckles.
Don't be most people.
Learn what your grandparents knew.
Before you need it.
Discover the ancient skills that could save your life →



Stay safe out there,
~ SG&T





P.S. This isn't about fear—it's about freedom.
Take the first step, and you'll never look at the forest the same way again.
Start learning here.

Started hardening off my chilies today so I can plant them next week. Really need the room under the grow lights with more seeds to start.

 

[gopher_byrd]

California Golden Poppies are the first to bloom. There are other flowers in there, but they were just transplanted.

 

[gopher_byrd]

Up potted 8 chilies and 10 tomatoes from starting cells to 3.5 inch pots.

Herbs.

Growing herbs is the perfect place to start because they grow well in a variety of spaces both indoors in containers and outdoors in the garden. So no matter what your current garden or space situation is, you can at least grow some herbs.

You’ll want to star this email and save it as your go-to resource for growing herbs. Check out these articles:

• Growing Culinary Herbs
• Herb Gardening Dos and Don’ts

By the way... March 21st is one of two equinoxes where the sun is between its maximum and minimum declination. This means that the sun will roughly be midway through its journey from high to low and back again and hanging out right above the equator. (Actually the date is a little off depending on the astronomical v. meteorological seasons, but close enough.) This is a good time for you to go take pictures of your yard at noon to document the changes you are seeing.

In the Northern hemisphere it is spring, so our plants will be triggered by the shorter nights to grow faster at this point. This is also the time that most yards tend to look their best.

In the Southern hemisphere it is autumn and plants are triggered by the longer nights to start drying up and preserving resources. This is also the time that most yards need a little TLC to prepare for the coming winter.

Enjoy and if you are willing please post pictures on our Facebook page so we can all share the inspiration (or in the private Facebook group if you have access via one of our courses). Please use #TheUrbanFarmInspirationChallenge in your comments.

In terms of nutrient density and taste, here are the key differences when comparing heirloom vs. hybridized crops:

Nutrient Density

• Heirloom Varieties:
  • Generally higher in certain nutrients due to traditional breeding methods focusing on flavor and resilience rather than uniformity and shelf-life.
  • Studies have shown that some heirloom crops have higher levels of phytonutrients, antioxidants, and minerals compared to hybrids.
    • Example: Heirloom tomatoes contain higher lycopene and vitamin C levels than hybrids.
• Hybrid Varieties:
  • Often bred for high yields, pest resistance, and extended shelf life at the expense of nutrient density and taste.
  • While some hybrids are enhanced for specific nutrients (e.g., high-beta-carotene corn), others have lower mineral content due to dilution effects from higher water content and faster growth.
    • Example: Modern hybrid wheat has been found to have lower protein and mineral content than older varieties.

Taste Comparison

• Heirloom Varieties:
  • Prioritizing flavor over appearance, many prefer their richer, more complex taste. Not to mention, it's more nutritious.
  • Have diverse flavor profiles, often sweeter, more aromatic, and more balanced in acidity.
    • Example: Heirloom tomatoes like Brandywine or Cherokee Purple are known for their intense, rich flavors compared to supermarket hybrid tomatoes.
• Hybrid Varieties:
  • Often bred for shelf stability, uniformity, and transportability, which can lead to less intense flavor.
  • Many commercial hybrids have been designed for higher sugar content (Brix level) but lack the depth of flavor found in heirloom varieties.
    • Example: Hybrid tomatoes, like those found in grocery stores, are often firmer and uniform in size but taste more bland due to breeding focused on shelf life.

Prioritizing Profit over Nutrition and Taste

• Yield & Disease Resistance:
  • Hybrids outperform heirlooms in yield and disease resistance, making them more attractive for commercial farming. There's no surprise there—sacrifice taste and nutrition for yield, shelf-life and GREED.
  • Heirlooms may require more care but often develop natural resilience over generations, making them the better choice, in our opinion.
• Biodiversity & Sustainability:
  • Heirloom crops contribute to agricultural biodiversity, preserving old varieties with unique traits.
  • Hybrid crops can lead to monoculture farming, which may deplete soil nutrients over time.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We didn't touch on open pollination, seed saving, or genetics.

[VIDEO] Industry Scandal: The Loss of Nutrients
(More on Heirloom vs. Hybridization)

Sixty years of producing standardized fruits and vegetables by creating industrial hybrids have dramatically impacted nutritional content in today's food supply. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron.

Take the tomato, for example. Through multiple hybridizations, scientists constantly produce redder, smoother, firmer fruit with a longer shelf life. But in the process, they have lost a quarter of their calcium and more than half its vitamins.

The seeds that produce the fruits and vegetables we consume are now the property of a handful of multinationals like Bayer and Dow-Dupont. Chemical companies!!!! What business does a chemical company have producing seeds for food? You already know the answer: they also produce the chemical herbicides used to grow their crops.

What's worse, they patent these seeds, and these hybrid crops don't produce viable seeds, meaning farmers have to buy new seeds year after year.

We hope you find that alarming!

And the plot thickens. These multinational companies produce their seeds predominantly in India, where workers are paid just a handful of rupees while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros.

Food is a globalized business in which the seed sells for more than gold. According to FAO, worldwide, 75% of the cultivated varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years.

This fantastic documentary will reveal the industrialists' great monopoly over our fruit and veg, loss of nutrients, and privatization of life.

About a decade ago my Mentor Scott Murray says to "Greg, me do you know about drip tape irrigation? It is the most effective way to water your farm." The biggest problem with it was that I had to purchase a 5000 linear foot roll of the stuff, making it pretty impossible for the home gardener. So you know what we did? We downsized it to a home garden size, created a class and made drip tape bundles just your size.

Breaking News: AI Takes to Farming!

Today, Michael Kilpatrick officially stepped down as the head of Farm on Central and turned over the reins to AI farmbot GROC (Generative Robotic Organic Cultivator).

"I’m going to move to the coast and open up an ice cream shop," says Michael. "GROC has already laid out a business plan to grow Farm on Central over the next year, and eventually take over the whole town."


GROC’s Vision for the Future
GROC wasted no time implementing changes, starting with replacing all farm staff with robot arms, self-driving electric solar tractors, and drone-powered retail stocking.

"Efficiency is key," GROC explains as it gives us a tour. "Humans take too many breaks. Now Farm on Central will now operate 24/7, optimizing vegetable output and maximizing AI-generated customer satisfaction."


New AI-Powered Farm Store
The farm store is getting a high-tech upgrade, too. Customers will now be greeted by a holographic AI-generated Michael, who will answer questions with pre-recorded responses like:


"That’s a great question! The answer is...it depends."
"Let me get back to you on that."
"Have you seen our new products?"


Addressing AI Takeover Fears
Some locals are concerned about an AI-run farm taking over their food supply. "Will GROC understand the delicate balance of soil health, crop rotations, and the human touch needed for farming?" asked one concerned neighbor.

But Michael says that won't be an issue. "GROC has taken all of our courses, so it's learned from the best," says Michael.


What’s Next?
Under GROC’s leadership, Farm on Central is launching an AI-powered CSA box called "FarmGPT." Members now submit blood, personality, and physiological evaluations. Each delivery will come with perfectly curated produce and a chatbot-generated email explaining why GROC picked each vegetable for you based on advanced health profile analysis. If you don’t like beets, too bad—GROC has determined that beets are optimal for your health. Just eat them, you’ll like it.


Meanwhile, Michael is already scouting locations for his beachfront ice cream shop. "I’ll miss the farm, but I’m confident GROC will take care of it. Probably."


For now, we welcome our new AI overlord. Happy April Fools from Farm on Central!

Container Gardening Sweet Potatoes

Federal funding for factory farms, none for organic regenerative farms:

Trump’s USDA is still withholding reimbursements owed to 30,715 local, regenerative and organic farmers promised $2.3 billion, including a grant we administer for an allied organization. Meanwhile, the biggest grain, bean, pea, and oilseed farmers who service factory farms, junk food processors, and exporters are getting a new $10 billion chunk of funding!

Until the courts or Congress get Trump’s USDA to abide by current law, what use is there trying to pass new ones–even if we could. The Republican plan for the Farm Bill is really bad, cutting SNAP (food stamps) just to give bigger subsidies to industrial ag. Senate Ag Committee Chair Boozman belongs to Tyson Foods; the Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar to Cargill. House Ag Committee Chair GT Thompson is owned by the Farm Bureau; Ranking Member Angie Craig, Cargill.

I love edible flowers. Some of them are really easy to grow too.

They add flavor, color and beauty to the table. But I didn't grow the flowers in my holiday pea dish. I got them at the store.



When I had a garden I grew daylilies (didn't know then that you could eat them), roses, nasturtiums, lavender and chamomile. Some of the culinary herbs get pretty blossoms on them too.

Flowers are great in dishes and salads. Our yard, before I tilled it ALL up into garden used to have violets and Dutch clovers all over and we used them in our salads, flowers have a good taste to me.
