Finding Purpose in the Hoop House

In this very first episode of Hoop House Talk, hosts Ebony Evans and Latisha “Tish” Branch-Nalls sit down to share how this podcast came to life. They trace the roots of One Sound Farm, the farm that started as part of Ebony’s personal journey to discover her purpose, and the friendship with Tish that helped bring it all together. Along the way, listeners get a glimpse into their relationship and the shared vision that planted the seeds for both the farm and this new podcast.The conversation then moves out to the farm, where Ebony, Tish, and Tonya gather inside the hoop house. Ebony reflects on her evolving relationship with tomatoes—how they went from being her least favorite food to one of her favorite crops to grow. “I’m growing up my taste buds,” she laughs, as the group talks about how farming itself can expand not just what you grow, but also what you crave. Tonya joins in the fun by surprising everyone with a dish made from fresh-picked greens, sparking a lively exchange about recipes, appetite, and the joy of eating straight from the land.This pilot sets the stage for what Hoop House Talk is all about: real conversations about farming, food, friendship, and finding purpose.For anyone interested in the scripture that Cocoa based her tattoo on, it's Ephesians 4:31 - "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.”Episode cover photo: Tonya's greenshttps://www.outoftheendinc.com/https://www.farmergirleb.com/https://www.facebook.com/p/Farmer-Girl-Eb-100070127213464/Hoop House Talk is Produced, Edited and Mixed by With Bowl and Spoon, LLCBackground music: Fractal of Light by Chris Haugen
