Jim Sanders, an environmentalist & farmer, is the owner of Wildflower Lane Farm in North Carolina. Jim has some great stories about how he came into farming and his fun and not so fun experiences with trying to build a farming business. All along, Jim knew and was reminded by some friends that there had to be a better way. Jim decided to take another approach to feeding local people. Jim came up with an idea that would enable him to do what he loved – growing food for people – while removing it from the business cycle that was proving to be unsatisfying. He would do this by shifting non profit funds used to pay for fresh produce from wholesalers and retailers to local farmers who would grow for them. He walked into the office of a local non profit called Table, explained his concept, and asked them to try it out with him. The Executive Director of TABLE, who you will hear from directly in an upcoming episode, after a little due diligence, was open to Jim’s idea, shifted some funds his way, and took the leap of faith. And every year since, TABLE has shifted more funds to growing with local farmers vs. purchasing produce, demonstrating the strength and impact of Jim’s concept. Jim’s idea has had a direct impact on food security in NC and beyond. This is also a testament that existing local organizations can and should collaborate and join forces, shift funds to local sourcing, and ultimately increase access to nutritious food for everyone.

So this is my 53rd episode, the 1st episode launching Season 2 of the Agri-Tourist Podcast. This episode is part 2 of my interview with Marisa about coming full circle. I have learned so much during the course of this year…and not just about farming and agriculture. I learned so much about life, about love, about passion and dedication, trusting the journey, making every day count, and about taking that leap of faith. And I learned all of this from over 50 amazing people from all over the world. So this episode along with Part 1, #52, are dedicated to the amazing, inspirational and passionate individuals who allowed me into their lives, their businesses and to become a little part of their journey.
