542: 40 Years of Farming Organically: Has it Been Worth It? With Bob Quinn

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation September 1, 2025 Duration: 41:16

Naysayers suggest that organic, regenerative farming is impractical, expensive, and less productive than conventional farming methods. Farmer Bob Quinn has been at it for over 40 years and he is convinced that not only is organic and regenerative farming is possible, it produces greater yields and can be more profitable.

He tells numerous stories today from his own experience and from the farmers he's mentored over the years. He highlights how regenerative agriculture is a better way to farm, producing food that is better to eat. He talks about trends in farming, and his "four main pillars for turning food into medicine".

The conversations on Wise Traditions, presented by the Weston A. Price Foundation, explore a path to well-being that feels almost forgotten. This isn't about the latest trends or synthetic solutions; it's a deep dive into the dietary patterns and living wisdom of ancestral communities who achieved remarkable physical health. Each episode brings forward voices-researchers, farmers, clinicians, and healers-who discuss practical applications of this knowledge for contemporary life. You'll hear detailed discussions on sourcing and preparing nutrient-dense foods, the role of traditional fats, the gut microbiome, and the profound connections between soil health and human health. The podcast operates from a core principle articulated by Dr. Weston A. Price himself: that true vitality comes from aligning with nature's laws, not attempting to supersede them. It’s for anyone questioning conventional dietary advice and seeking a more rooted, evidence-based approach to fitness and holistic wellness. Tune in for a consistently challenging and enriching perspective that redefines what it means to be truly nourished, drawing on centuries of human experience to inform our choices today.
