#59 USING NATURAL CYCLES TO BUILD MASS TOP-SOIL W/WILL HARRIS OF WHITE OAK PASTURES
Herb your enthusiasm
01/11/24 • 57 min
Episode #59 Herb your enthusiasm.
Today's guest is ex-JRE guest; Will Harris of Bluffton, Georgia in the states..
Will is a 4th generation cattle farmer and current owner of white oak pastures, which has been owned by his family since 1866.
Across it's long history, white oak pastures has gone through many iterations.
Upon inheriting his farm as a young man, will operated the farm in alignment with an industrial model of farming, utilising tonnes of Petro-chemical fertiliser, heavy chemical spray regimes to control weeds and "problem organisms" as well as intensive feed-lot operations and heavy anti-biotic regimens for his livestock.
As you'll hear in the podcast, a single brief but powerful moment in time one afternoon, lead him to reconsider the path he was going down with respect to the "kill and control" style of farming he had become accustomed to on the farm.
following this personal realisation- at great financial expense, will began to transition away from a typical industrial model of farming and towards am ecological/regenerative model, and one that honoured and respected life in all its forms and the relationships between them.
20 years later and white oak pastures is now a world leader in profitable, sustainable farming and one of the few sustainable regenerative farms in his state.
the multiple 10's of inches of rich, dark top soil that white oaks has created since moving to a regenerative model is something to behold and instead of spending his time figuring out how to kill organisms, will now thinks about the best ways to keep things alive.
Enjoy this cracking pod with Will Harris!

#69 NO-HASSLE BEE-KEEPING AND LABOUR-FREE HONEY IN THE SUBURBS WITH CEDAR ANDERSON OF FLOWHIVE
Herb your enthusiasm
04/28/24 • 46 min
This podcast episode, Sammy will be featuring Australian Entrepeneur; Cedar Anderson, the co-inventor of the FlowHive.
Flowhive is an innovative new bee-hive system that has revolutionised home-bee keeping.
From the outside, Flow Hives look like a regular commercial beehive, that is, the traditional "wooden box" containing multiple frames which support the bees as they create their honeycomb.
In these traditional beehives, when the honey is ready for harvest. the frames are taken out and spun in a centrifuge system to extract honey.
Now, enter FLOW Hives.
Flow hives feature an ingenious system of pre-inserted, pre-molded frames made up of hundreds of individual hexagonal cells which mimic a natural honeycomb structure.
Once the bees are introduced, they then discover these cells, fill them with honey.
When all the cells are filled, the owner of the FlowHive can then turn a special key to fracture each of the cells to releasing all the honey at once.
The honey then slowly flows out of a tap and into glass collection jars. After collection the special key it turned again, re-setting the molds to their original position, to be filled with honey once again.
This Ingenious and elegant re-imagining of a beehive eliminates the otherwise messy, time-consuming and sometimes dangerous process of honey extraction.
With a FlowHive, there is next to no need to disturb, then pacify your bees and no need to use a centrifuge before you can enjoy the fruits of your bees' labour.
As you'll hear, FlowHive is one of the most significant business success stories to come out of the Northern Rivers region in recent years.
So, thanks friends and enjoy this podcast with Cedar Anderson of Byron Bay.
