Permaculture Kitchens I’ve Known is about the application of permaculture design principles and strategies to ecologically minded kitchen design, local seasonal menu planning, nose to tail cookery and butchery, cooking in community and regenerative food shed design.

It is a realization that food is at then nexus of our society and culture. Both agriculture and food preparation come together to create, reshape and define our physical world and thus our reality, it has been this way since the beginning. Thus, the ways we grow, cook and eat food are the vehicle to making better more regenerative systems as we reclaim traditional knowledge and combine that with appropriate technologies to create our own future.

All of the world’s problems can be solved at the dinner table as we reintegrate our kitchens and our gardens.

It's June 9th and the farm is in full production. As you heard last week a big part of that production comes from greens. Greens that are being cut and cut and cut.

That's resulting in a lot of product that is being sold to restaurants, distributors, and farmers market customers.

This we we talk about deliverying that product to restaurant customers and how that day looks from harvest to delivery.

We also talk a lot about crop planning. How do you know what to plant now so you have it harvest later, and how do you know that you will have a market to sell that product to later.

It is week 13 of the urban farm season - June 9, 2015.

Today I am talking to Troy Martz of Off Grid Pro about his reality. How he is going from a hobby, something that he loves and is passionate about, and what it's like to transition it into a functioning, profitable business.

In this episode we talk about things like..

How do you deal with starting up a business when funds are tight and you have kids?

How do you split time between your day job that pays the bills and the new business that is time hungry, but currently not paying your bills?

How do you know if the business is making forward progress or if you are just wasting your damn time?

And we start out by talking about Troy's passion - gasification.

A real look, at a real person, trying to do what many of you are trying to do. Taking on the tough but necessary changes that need to be made when it comes to transitioning a passion from hobby to business.
