Tune into the latest episode, where we’re thrilled to have Donna Putney, co-owner of Putney Farm in Honea Path, SC, join us for an enlightening conversation.

Donna isn’t just a seasoned forager and Plant Medicine Instructor; she’s also a Gut Health Specialist, Life Coach, and Certified Holistic Naturopathic Practitioner. Her deep passion for sustainable living is evident in every aspect of her work.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Donna’s profound connection to nature and her journey exploring wild medicinal plants.
• The story of Putney Farm, a 10-acre permaculture homestead certified as a National Wildlife Habitat, SC Grown, and Appalachian Grown Certified. Here, heritage chickens roam freely, pollinators rule, and the ground is cultivated with a no-till/no-dig approach.
• The principles of a food forest and how Donna’s farm uses sustainable agriculture practices to create ecosystems that are not only self-sustaining but also abundantly productive.
• Donna’s popular foraging tours that offer a hands-on experience with nature’s most secretive bounties.

Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting to explore sustainable agriculture, this episode is packed with inspiring insights and stories.

Donna’s roles as an SC Master Gardener and Landscape Garden Designer add even more depth to our discussion.
