133 Trees of Power with Akiva Silver

On this 133rd episode of the Root Simple podcast Kelly and I talk to Akiva Silver of Twisted Tree Farm, described in his author bio as a "homestead, nut orchard and nursery located in Spencer, New York where he grows around 20,000 trees a year using practices that go beyond organic." Akiva's background is in "foraging, wilderness survival and primitive skills." He is also the author of Trees of Power: Ten Essential Arboreal Allies just published by Chelsea Green. In our conversation we discuss how trees could replace a lot of the staple crops in our diet.
