Hey friends, and welcome to the Rooted Rebellion Podcast!

In our very first episode, you’ll meet the Orion Farmstead team—Ashton Todd, Alexis Campestre, and Beau Milton.

You’ll hear about:

• Our personal journeys into farming and food sovereignty
• The difference between self-reliance and self-sufficiency
• The founding of Orion Farmstead (a permaculture farmstay)
• Why food is more than fuel—it’s power, community, and resilience

By the end of this episode, you’ll know why Rooted Rebellion exists and what it might mean for you, too.
