In this episode of In Sync with Nature, we talk about adaptation, specifically in relation to local agriculture.

From the beginning of the local agriculture industry which gave rise to the height and eventual demise of the tobacco era to becoming an agro-tourism destination, the Norfolk County farming community has had to adapt in order to survive. This podcast explores some of the challenges and successes in this journey of adaptation.

Our guests are:

Ian Bell, a Canadian folk musician and storyteller with a deep connection to the Biosphere’s history

Anita Buehner, a local lifelong farmer who transitioned out of tobacco to create a new purpose for their farm – growing lavender and wine grapes and turning the farm into an agro-tourism destination.

Amy Webster, a small-scale farmer who is passionate about growing food naturally and sharing it with her community.
