Our own Liz Rupel and Reese Rathjen-Amyx recently joined Dr. W.C. “Bill” Beyers III on his Stealth Wellness podcast to talk about building a healthier, more sustainable food system in Illinois.

They discuss how local farmers, homesteaders, and consumers are working together to improve soil health, expand food freedom, and strengthen local economies. From cover crops and livestock integration to policy wins that help small producers thrive, this episode highlights how people power is transforming the future of farming.
