We want to do some kind of hybrid agritourism, nutrition education, and Ag education, and then also we want to have some level of a functioning operation as a farm as well.
Imagine meeting someone during a global pandemic and turning that connection into a thriving project that blends farming and nutrition education. That's exactly what Ben Paulson and Christina Parmar have done. In this episode of '2nd Cup', host Tim Heller sits down with this dynamic duo to chat about their journey from the fields to the kitchen and beyond.
Ben, a dedicated farmer, and Christina, a soon-to-be Registered Dietitian, share how their relationship blossomed in early 2020 amidst lockdowns and social distancing. With limited options for entertainment, they turned to gardening and cooking, finding joy and purpose in growing their own food and experimenting with new recipes. This shared passion soon evolved into a bigger dream: creating a hybrid agricultural and nutrition education operation.
The conversation dives into the nitty-gritty of their daily lives, from the satisfaction of harvesting fresh produce to the challenges of starting a new venture during uncertain times. Ben and Christina emphasize the importance of knowing where our food comes from and the benefits of connecting with nature through gardening. They also discuss their plans to make sustainable living accessible to more people, particularly those who often miss out on such opportunities.
With humor and heart, Ben and Christina's story is a testament to resilience and creativity. Their vision for a community-focused approach to food education is not just inspiring but also a practical guide for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their own lives. So grab your morning coffee (or tea) and tune in to hear how this couple is sowing the seeds for a healthier, more connected world.
