Hempcrete- The Building Blocks For Sustainability & Community with Eric White

12/19/22 • 42 min

On this week's episode of Forager's Radio, I'm joined by Eric White, founder of The Heampstead Farm and member of Pennsylvania's Hemp Fiber Cooperative.
Eric has been working vigorously on creating The Pocono's premier local CSA farm. There, him and his team not only supply their members with local organic produce, but they also grow industrial grade hemp that will be processed and utilized as hempcrete.
Never heard of hempcrete?!
That's okay, Eric explains how it acts an amazing carbon sequester and a sustainable building material. Most recently, Eric and his team have retrofitted their old farm houses with hempcrete insulation. Not only is it sustinable, but it also prevents common household problems like water leakage and mold.

The Spirit Of Psilocybin With Aldi Kent

This week on Forager's Radio, guest Aldi Kent and I unpack the hot topic of micro-dosing with psilocybin mushrooms.
Aldi is cofounder of a Mexican based company called Musashi that specializes in micro-dosing consulting and offers neurotransmitter supporting supplements that help enhance the micro-dosing experience.
Aldi and I achieved our goal of providing safe information on this topic but also were very pleased in how our conversation morphed into so much more.
For those seeking information on micro-dosing with psilocybin, more often than not, their search was inspired by research and anecdotal experiences of these magical mushrooms helping improve people's anxiety disorders, addictions, or helping create a deeper sense of connection to life.
Aldi and open up about our experiences with psilocybin and how they helped shaped our spiritual journeys and continue to inspire connection with nature and community.
Happy listening!
Stay wild,
