Berries + Hydro

Growing methods directly impact the flavor, nutrition, and environmental footprint of our food. The Real Organic Podcast explores these connections through conversations with farmers, scientists, and food advocates. These experts understand that healthy soil creates superior taste. Dave Chapman highlights the visual contrast between soil-grown berries and hydroponic production. Eliot Coleman reminds us that original organic farming focused on creating biologically active soil. Our episodes reveal how industrial shortcuts sacrifice flavor for shelf life and uniformity. We explore how authentic growing practices yield berries with exceptional flavor. These methods heal our planet while delighting our taste buds.
