That doesn't work here. mean, I said number one, said, when you have 12,000 tomato plants planted per acre, the pheromones that we're releasing to the hawk moths and the gypsy moths, everything that wants to come a beat on these, that's going out. Huge, huge signals. 01:26 And I said, we try to use, I mean, I do integrated pest management where I try to incorporate insect predators and, I encourage hawks here. love the fact that I have hawks. My wife doesn't like it because of her chickens, but I like having hawks here because mice are such a problem for us as produce farmers. They are just the bane of our existence. 01:54 we're getting ready to install 27 miles of drip irrigation just here at this location. And when we install that, the mice in the middle of summer when it's dry will actually chew on that drip irrigation. To get to the water. To get to the water. so, you know, I've always told people, like, I'll have guys who work for me and they'll see a snake and they'll go to kill it. said, that's fine. But you kill a snake, you got to do his job for two weeks for free. 02:22 You know, because he's eaten the things I don't want him. We have bees and we're able to educate people. They're like, well, how can you use chemicals and have bees? Well, because number one, the stuff I'm using, bees aren't chewing on the plants. And these insects have to chew on the plants in order to ingest it. Number two, we also spray in accordance with how the bees 02:52 Whether they're, you know, we don't like to, we really don't like to spray plants late in the evening, but, uh, we will, we won't spray before a big bloom, like a big bloom of watermelons. We don't spray. mean, there's, there's things that we actively do that there's nuanced conversations that we can have with the people that are all or nothing. When it comes to there's people that are like, no chemicals all the way. That's the way we should do it. And then there's people like, absolutely don't use chemicals. And I see myself as. 03:22 I'm the dude in the middle saying if I don't have to spray, I'm not going to. But at the same time, don't take the tool tools away from me that I need to help feed people. And that's that's that's that's a hard part for me sometimes is what people tell me now. The funny part about those those ladies that came, they were awesome. They were like you guys, you know, she said she wanted to know how we manage rabbits. And I said, Well, we throw lead at him. 03:51 1300 feet per second. Us too. Yes. And I could tell it took her a second to understand what I was saying. And I was like, all these, all these cute German shepherds that are your best friends right now that are, are, you know, circling you for, for their next pet. These guys also do it. They see a rabbit, they kill it, you know, and that's kind of, kind of how we've trained them to be. And they're like, yeah, we, 04:18 But I'm like, you guys are also in urban environments. So discharging a firearm would probably be frowned upon. you know, the things that you can do, I mean, I didn't really have an answer for him because I've always been able to manage pests the way we saw fit. Yeah. 04:40 Yeah, I'm going to jump in for a second. I think that what everybody needs regarding these stories you're telling is number one, listening. Number two, critical thinking. And number three, ...

I think you're in Indiana, yes? Yes, that's correct. All right. Welcome, Jonathan. How are you? I'm good. How did you fare with the weather in Indiana last night? It was a little bit rough. We're kind of used to it. 01:25 My farm's been hit by a tornado. I don't know twice. I lost a packing shed to a tornado a few years ago. Weirdly enough, last night, you know, we thought we were kind of ahead of the storm. So we decided to run to Walmart together. Well, which was weird. We usually don't go to Walmart as a family. my wife wanted to stop at another place up to town. So she came with us. 01:56 And she actually came in because she said it was getting so bad. And as we were in there, the Walmart basically shut down and made everybody go back to their like, uh, receiving and storage area where it's designated as a storm shelter. Well, I'm glad you're safe because I saw that there were bad storms in Indiana last night and I was like, Oh no, I think the guy I'm talking to today is in Indiana crap. So glad you're good. Glad your family is safe. 02:26 Um, so tell me about yourself and tell me how come you're called The Punk Rock Farmer. So I actually didn't come up with that name. Um, I didn't like the name when people started calling me that, uh, you know, because when you get a label put on you, that's as wide as something representing an entire subculture in a music scene, it's kinda, you know, 02:54 You feel like there's a lot of pressure there. You might not align with everything that that subculture represents. But I was so we were working. We were doing urban farm projects in Indianapolis and a wonderful organization known as the Flannery House had been trying to put in an urban farm for like four years. They were working with a university and the university had them on like their ninth 03:24 feasibility study and the executive director was getting super frustrated and I was actually providing produce to this this community center and he took me out to where he wanted to do it and he said you know what is the feasibility of doing this because you know we we keep having you know the university we're working with says we got to make sure we're doing this this and this and I said do you have soil Sam? 03:53 And he's like, yeah, I said, okay, well, let's look at them. I looked at the soil samples and I'm like, well, we can put a plow on the ground and, you know, start planting. I mean, I don't, you know, the spring, I don't know what their holdup is. And he said, okay, you know, I'm all for that. So we actually put in a two acre urban farm there and they have a center for children. 04:22 that the center has a after school, it's for after school for their working parents. And they have a lot of young kids there. And Brandon, the executive director told me, he said, make sure, if you can, bring a cool tractor or, so I was like, I can bring two tractors. That way we get it done twice as fast and the kids can see them. So we brought two, one good size utility tractor than a smaller utility tractor. 04:53 The kids had just never seen anything like that. And of course we used two big F-350 farm trucks to pull those up there. I was wearing jeans, boots, but I had a Misfits shirt on and my hair was really long and tattoos...

Is that right, John? Yes, ma'am. We're in Millersville, Maryland outside of Annapolis. Okay, cool. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing well. Good. I am so excited to have you on the show because 01:22 This community farm thing you've got going on is huge. So tell me about it. Well, Lankton Green has been primarily providing residential services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities since the early eighties. About 15 years ago, we started also doing day services, which tends to be vocational or activities based for a small number of our consumers. But we're always 01:50 looking for more to do on an ongoing basis. So after a couple of years of doing a lot of landscaping and commercial and residential cleaning contracts, our former executive director went to a conference and met some people who operated a small residential program on a farm in California and said, hey, could we do something like this? Which was exactly the kind of thing that I was already engaged in personally. 02:18 doing a lot of suburban homesteading kind of stuff, a lot of gardening and canning. So it definitely matched a lot of my personal interests. A lot of my job coaches and staff also had experience working in horticulture and landscaping. So there was a natural tie in there. So I spent the next couple of years working with our board of directors, going through some mentorships with local agricultural organizations and 02:48 looking at properties locally to actually develop an expansion of our existing day services program to be focused on an agricultural property. The spot that we found was perfect. It's right in the middle of a really very populated suburban area and to be able to provide 13 acres of 03:12 animals and sustainable produce and flowers. We've incorporated a lot of artwork on the property over the past 10 years. It has just been a really great thing. It's benefited our consumer population tremendously. And I think we're increasingly a benefit to the public as we provide a space for them to come out and have those experiences and to kind of get a sense of where food comes from. Because I think a lot of people have lost that. 03:42 If you ask a group of kids where does food come from, the number one answer is going to be the grocery store. So to be able to give back a little bit of opportunities to experience the basis of that food industry and where it all starts in a setting that's also focused on providing therapeutic care for everybody, but most primarily for our consumer population. 04:10 That's phenomenal. I'm so impressed. Okay. So my first question is how is the public interacting with the farm? Initially our biggest, you know, we, we wanted to draw volunteers, so we needed the additional help with some of the work processes. Um, everybody that comes out here is just floored and really enjoys being on the property. So initially we started with a lot of 04:37 group activities with local churches, local community organizations. When we first got our property in Millersville, it basically was a 13 acre, some of it was in agricultural production with one of our neighbors. Part of it had been horse pastures with a collapsed very large barn and two houses that hadn't been inhabited for probably decades, one of which was ...
