    Ecdysis at EBB Farms: Inside the 1000 Farms Initiative
    Aug 29 2025
    Today we’re out in the orchard with Nora D’Antuono from the Ecdysis Foundation, talking real‑world regenerative agriculture: soil health that sticks, biodiversity that pays back, and farmer‑led research through the 1000 Farms Initiative. We dig into tools like the BugBox and Xerinx, why insects are powerful indicators of farm health, and how community + data help farmers move from “hope” to “proof.” Recorded at EBB Farms (Western Kentucky)—the chestnut-growing testbed powered by the United Chestnuts movement. You’ll hear:
    • What 1000 Farms is measuring—and why it matters to your bottom line
    • Simple biodiversity practices that fit real schedules and budgets
    • The role of the BugBox/Xerinx in tracking ecosystem health
    • How growers are sharing data, stories, and momentum

  • OffShoot Edition - Reserve Chestnut Seedlings and Chestnuts Now

    OffShoot Edition - Reserve Chestnut Seedlings and Chestnuts Now
    Aug 16 2025
    🎙️ Branching Out: Growing Together

    At EBB Farms, our Grow-Bag Strategy makes all the difference. We raise each seedling in a three-gallon breathable grow bag inside protected nurseries. They’re watered daily, weeded, and carefully staked — building a dense, fibrous root system that establishes quickly once planted. Before shipping, we gently shake off the soil and send the tree dormant, so you get the very same strong, orchard-ready trees we plant ourselves. In this episode, we explain why it pays to reserve your chestnut trees early. Demand is high, and these bare root seedlings are already in motion. Learn how they’re raised, what sets them apart, and why they often show faster growth in the field. 👉 Reserve now, and be ready to plant success. Details at unitedchestnuts.com/ebb-farms
