The Grow Renaissance

In this episode, Neil and Amanda sit down with Dan Avukian — better known as the Produce Man — a 50-year veteran of the fresh produce industry who has worked every corner of it, from retail and wholesale to food service, home delivery, and running his own store. Dan shares how a late-night radio gig in San Francisco accidentally launched a decades-long career educating consumers about fresh produce, eventually leading to the nationally syndicated Produce Pair radio show with his co-host Guido the Gardener. The conversation covers everything from the dramatic decline of California asparagus farming due to imports and labor costs, to why the best tomato you'll eat is always in July, to the importance of buying local and seasonal produce for both flavor and nutrient density. Dan also shares his work with Ag Life Media's Fresh From the Field Fridays podcast, the charity platform JustSayIt.com, and his passion for getting kids excited about fruits and vegetables. A rich, flavorful conversation about the past, present, and future of fresh produce in America.Connect with Neil, Amanda, and Dan!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Amanda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-smith-elevatedDan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-avakian-21505514/Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/about?ref=3952ada279f74a1c9096aac759ab62d3Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, a Grow Renaissance series, we sit down with Miriam Putnam—wellness coach and founder of the WeHelp Group—to explore the deeper roots of mental health, healing, and human potential. Drawing from decades of experience and personal journey, Miriam challenges the conventional approach to mental health, arguing that many symptoms often labeled as psychological may actually stem from physical imbalances like nutrition, toxicity, or environmental stress. The conversation unpacks the powerful connection between body, mind, and soul, the role of food and lifestyle in emotional well-being, and why true healing requires addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms. From broken systems to hopeful solutions, this episode offers a bold, holistic perspective on how we can rethink health, restore balance, and build a more aligned, resilient future.Connect with Neil, Amanda, an Miriam!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Amanda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-smith-elevatedMiriam:https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriamputnam/Miriam Putnam: https://miriamputnam.org/Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/about?ref=3952ada279f74a1c9096aac759ab62d3Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, we sit down with Ben from Merge to unpack what “co-benefits” really mean—and why they matter beyond just carbon. We talk about how healthy soil, water quality, biodiversity, and nutrient-dense crops factor into a regenerative-agriculture system. Ben explains why carbon alone isn’t enough, and shares real-world examples like perennial grain systems (such as Kernza) that deliver layered benefits for soil, water, wildlife habitat, and food quality. Whether you’re a producer, buyer, or simply curious about sustainable farming — this episode offers a deeper look at what a holistic agricultural future could look like.Tune in if you want to understand how carbon claims can come with meaningful ecological and social value — and how we can tell that story with integrity. Connect with Neil & Ben!Neil:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Ben: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-adolph-b7737586/Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/ab...Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith welcomes Kai Olsen, a fourth-generation Alberta farmer, mechanic, and team roper, to dig into the realities of modern mixed-ag farming. From managing roughly a thousand acres of cropland (canola, barley, yellow peas) and a 120-head cow-calf herd via swath-grazing with his dad, Kai shares his journey from a 3,000-head feedlot to creating a leaner, more adaptive family farm. He talks candidly about the highs of record-calf prices, the strain of escalating input costs like grass leases and equipment, and his decision to keep the operation largely outside the government credit-and-carbon-program cage. The conversation also pivots to his passion for rodeo: how he started roping on a $3,200 horse in his teens, progressed through Canadian circuits, and connects farming, competition and community into one lifestyle. Whether you’re in beef, cropping, regenerative ag or simply curious about resilience in agriculture, this episode brings an unfiltered look at balancing tradition, market turbulence and personal purpose.Connect with Neil & Will!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Will: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donobain/ Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Purchase your Grow Renaissance Manifesto NFT here: https://app.growblockchain.net/store/all Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time with Neil Smith, host Neil Smith sits down with landscape architect Blair Guppy, whose practice focuses on regenerative, climate-adaptive design that weaves together ecology, culture and human experience. Blair shares his journey from the natural landscapes of British Columbia to working in dense urban settings in Brooklyn and New York, reflecting on how we might redesign our relationship with the land — whether farmland or city rooftop — and repair the “broken lines” in how we value soil, water, people and place. Their conversation explores the intersections of agriculture, urban design, finance, and Indigenous insight, asking: how do we move beyond mere aesthetics and build living systems that heal as they grow? Connect with Neil, Blair, & Will!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Blair: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blairguppy/Will: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donobain/ Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Purchase your Grow Renaissance Manifesto NFT here: https://app.growblockchain.net/store/all Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

This week on Pasture Prime Time, Neil sits down with rancher, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller Hobbs Magaret—author of Herd: The Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever. Hobbs brings a unique blend of cowboy heritage, ecological insight, and global grazing experience to the conversation. From bovine intelligence and soil as “insurance,” to the genetics behind resilient cattle breeds like the Mashona, Hobbs challenges both industrial agriculture and greenwashed narratives of sustainability. He shares lessons from Texas to Australia, and why cattle, when managed with herd density and rest cycles, aren’t just steak on a plate—they’re a keystone of planetary renewal. If you’ve ever wondered how ranching, ecology, and culture intersect—or why our future depends on animals more than we realize—this episode is a must-listen. Connect with Neil, Hobbs, & Will!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Hobbs: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hobbsmagaret/Will: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donobain/ Purchase HERD- The Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever: https://www.amazon.com/HERD-Animals-That-Gave-Humanity/dp/B0FG1C53M3 Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Purchase your Grow Renaissance Manifesto NFT here: https://app.growblockchain.net/store/all Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Dahlstrom sits down with Elspeth Hay—writer, forager, podcaster and author of Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food (New Society, July 2025)—to unpack the forest-rooted wisdom behind perennial nut trees as a regenerative alternative to field monocultures. Hay shares how a TEDx talk on edible acorns hurled her into a five-year journey of ancestral agroecology, unlearning the dominance of annuals and the myth that “no farms equals no food.” She delves into how replicating a single Asiatic tree lineage—like modern bananas, where the genetically uniform Cavendish cultivar has been devastated by Panama disease—is a recipe for collapse, and how the same extinction risk applies when hazelnut growers ignore diversity and rely on clones instead of “swarm breeding” thousands of nut lines to produce resilient, high-yield varieties. On the practical side, she urges listeners to start with their local keystone nut trees—like oaks, chestnuts, or hazel—that serve as ecological linchpins for habitat, food, and cultural memory.
