04. Regenerative Agriculture, Cover Crops and Food Access with Emily Miethke

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Emily Meithke. Emily is the Lead Farmer at the Farm Lab, a 10-acre property and working organic farm owned by the Encinitas Union School District that houses multiple components supporting health, wellness and enviro-literacy for EUSD students and the Encinitas community. Throughout our conversation, we explore the inner workings of the Farm Lab, and give you a peek behind the curtain of the lesser known side of what it takes to run a farm. We discuss everything from the systemic lack of access to healthy food to our unexpected run-in with Jennifer Garner.  Tune in to learn about… The unique direct-to-consumer model of The Farm Lab  Dissecting the rhetoric of shaming people for not eating healthy foods  The difference between regenerative agriculture and organic farming  How cover cropping impacts soil health  … And so much more!  Connect with Emily:  Emily’s Instagram: @plantyheaux  Visit the Farm Lab website: https://farmlab.eusd.net/The Farm Lab Instagram: @eusdfarmlab
