Driving past corn fields in the Midwest can seem like a trip through a pastoral, idyllic farmscape, but in reality the corn commodity realm is a dystopian industrial wasteland that is genetically engineered and chemically supported. However, agriactivists like ANDY HAZZARD are proving that it is not only possible to cultivate ancient, heirloom grains, but it is also vital to our health and the health of the environment as we know it. HAZZARD FREE FARM is the latest in a family tradition that dates back to 1847, and with Andy at the helm it is getting attention from folks who want to taste bread before it became the gluten-heavy substance we know, and who want their food source to live in harmony with the land. Before starting her own farm, Andy was "...suffering from cognitive dissonance, like an out of tune song my worldly work and actions were out of line with my beliefs. " She has found her tune through meticulously-sourced, stone-ground grains that hearken back to pre-industrial revolution era farming practices.

FARM ON #18 - Getting in tune with ANDREA HAZZARD

Andrea Hazzard grew up on the family farm. She remembered as a child, the wooden bins of grain in the barn and in the loft of the corn crib, the heavy, silken feeling of them as you thrust your arm in, the dust in the air as the sun streamed through the window. She would go to the corn crib with her grandfather Earl Hazzard and choose a few ears of corn, shell them in the sunshine then trundle across the yard and down to the basement. Grandpa would get the hand crank grinder out and they would make cornmeal for Grandma 19s cornbread.HAZZARD FREE FARM came to be in 2007 to counter Andrea 19s frustration towards the role she was playing in the demise of the environment. It also was a way for her to bring her spiritual and philosophical beliefs in line with the way she lives. One of the tenets of the farm is education. Andrea has worked with many entities to introduce, inspire and teach farming to people in the community.They offer a wide variety of high quality heirloom grains, grown in the organic tradition and stone ground, using age-old techniques. They invite customers to visit the farm and visit with family and friends. They do not use treated or GMO seeds, EVER! Chemical pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides are also NEVER USED.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3010081/advertisement

Andrea Hazzard and the Hazzard Free Farm

Andrea Hazzard grows and mills 30 acres of ancient and heirloom grains, from black beans and red corn to emmer, spelt, einkorn, and oats. Returning to her family farm, she originally began growing vegetables, but gravitated back to grains – with a twist on what her family and her neighbors are doing. We get into the nitty gritty of growing and handling specialty grains, and the differences between planning and marketing a shelf-stable product and planning and marketing vegetables. Along the way, we get into the challenges of working with a distributor, the joys of working with family, and the special demands of farming as a woman. The Farmer to Farmer Podcast is generously supported by Vermont Compost Company.
