34. Andrew Moman: Fresh-Cut-Flower Farming and Caring for One's Local Community

It's a real treat to bring you today's episode of Bear the Light for three reasons. First, it's an interview with our first male guest! I'm grateful to Andrew Moman of Twin Rose Farm for being willing to step into those inaugural shoes.

Second, Andrew was referred to the show by his sister, Anne Brock, who was interviewed on episode 2 of the show. Thank you, Anne!

And third, Andrew is a fresh-cut-flower farmer local to the Nashville area whose entire life is life powered and sustained by the earth and by community, and I cannot imagine a more fitting time to be talking to someone whose life is sustained outdoors and with other people during a time when our freedom to experience both of those things is seriously curtailed.

We recorded this episode before the coronavirus hit us in the States, and I've added some notes in the intro of the episode, thanks to an update Andrew gave me, about how their business is responding and faring during this time.

I was quite touched by this conversation, both because of what it demonstrates of the beauty and trust of living interdependently and of what we can learn from those who are willing to dive in with both feet and learn as they go.

Connect with Andrew and Twin Rose Farm on their website and on Instagram at @twinrosefarm.
