Ep. 47 Learning to Be in Place Through Seeds - Janisse Ray, author of Journey in Place

I invited Janisse Ray for this New Year's Eve episode because I wanted to start the year grounded in the idea of place, rooted in connection, and inspired in your seed work.

 

Janisse is a writer, naturalist, and farmer based in south Georgia.She is the author of The Seed Underground and Journey in Place, and writes the Substack Trackless Wild.

 

In this episode, Janisse and I talk about how you learn to be in place and the concept of place-keeping. We explore how this works its way into seed work and foodways. We also dive into the tension between trying to save every seed and focusing on growing a few crops.

 

In the deep dive, we talk about growing okra for seed.

Enjoy the conversation and happy new year!
