Food, Ferments, Farm, and Family Life: Cultivating ‘Sustainability’ That Works for You with Rachel Armistead - a podcast by Mary Kingsley, Emma Kingsley

Rachel Armistead is co-owner of The Sweet Farm in Frederick, MD. They make delicious sauerkraut & ginger beer, as well as pasture-raised pork. Rachel gives one of the best explanations ever of what fermented foods are and how they benefit our health. We get into some fun facts about vinegar, our industrial food system and some things to watch out for when reading labels.

She also shares with us what it’s like living in a tiny house with her husband and two small children, where the romantic vision of minimalism meets a real family. She reflects on consumer issues, what constitutes “enough” in our society versus the need for more, and what we can teach the next generation about want vs. need, quality of life, and how to balance conscious choices in the real world. We hope you enjoy!
