Here’s my interview on the https://highenergygirl.com/ (High Energy Girl Podcast!) where I talk about earth friendly practices, growing organic nutrient dense food, and living sustainably. https://highenergygirl.com/ (Tracee: )Hi Jackie! So excited to talk with you today! Thanks for having me Tracee!!!! Well I think we have a lot in common I can’t wait for listeners to hear from you! Why don’t you tell them a little bit about yourself! My name is Jackie Marie Beyer and my husband Mike and I have a property in NW Montana and he’s a gardener so I started a podcast called the http://organicgardenerpodcast.com/ (Organic Gardener Podcast), we’re just about to celebrate 4 years our anniversary we launched on January 29, 2015 I just posted episode 254? http://organicgardenerpodcast.com/ () http://organicgardenerpodcast.com/ (Organic Gardener Podcast) I think, with interviews I’ve done with market farmers, backyard gardeners, sustainable agriculture experts, nutritionists and all sorts of people about the conversation all about growing healthy nutrient dense food. My husband and I are just dedicated to helping people create their own organic oasis. Whether you want to grow, or are just interested in landscaping. Organic Lawn Care I have gotten so many questions this summer especially on how to grow an organic yard! You know people really interested in just being more… One of the things I’ve learned from my podcast is your yard is one of the biggest places you don’t want chemicals! Cause where do babies learn to crawl toddlers and kids run around dogs run around   So I’ve gotten a ton of questions about that this summer, and then he has what I call the Minifarm that he planted, so our goal is to grow as much produce as we can possibly grow for us for our family and if we can eventually get to be market farmers down the line, IDK or we’re not there yet, we have limited water resources. We just keep learning. IDK if I said in the pre-chat, but we’ve been married 25 years so we’ve been slowly building. We started out the first 6 years I was here we didn’t have running water and just we would have like 2 little tiny beds, I’ve just really we’ve come a long way and we are dedicated to helping people create their own organic oasis. Whether it’s small just growing a tomato plant or some herbs for your food, or growing a bigger place and maybe even starting to sell for market. Where are you located? We’re in the Northwest corner of Montana in the Rocky Mountains. We’re about 7 miles south of the Canadian border in Montana. We have a pretty short growing  season so we’ve learned a lot of techniques to extend our season, but one of the benefits I’ve learned after talking to my guests it’s actually a lot easier for us to grow then in the south because because they have a lot more bug and pest problems. Benefits to growing your own healthy food So everybody has their challenges, the north east had a lot of rain problems the last few years, and just as our climate is changing gardening is really changing. The benefits to growing your own healthy food that has more nutrients in it you are eating fresh grown locally are just gigantic! From brown thumb to green thumb! I used to say I had brown thumb and I could barely keep a basil plant or a geranium alive and I have learned to grow a ton! I think that is part of what makes my show a success! Is my guests are amazing and it just really produces! I was telling you I am not known for my sand but the quality of the content that is shared we have all learned so much from! http://organicgardenerpodcast.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e3e16d6ddb7c0acd9e17348ed&id=b6a8f6bd31&e=e16e7400c4 () We’d love if you’d join...
