We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

Food is one of the foundational components of human existence that unites us all.


Whether food is part of our social and cultural interactions, part of our recreation or hobbies,  or to simply survive… we need it to be at our best. We all eat.


But do you know where your food comes from?


Humans began farming independently in various world regions around 12,000 years ago. This shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture is considered one of the most significant transitions in human history. In cultures worldwide, farmers have been revered as some of our most important citizens. 


But small farmers are facing threats of never-before-seen proportions. 


What will it mean for our health and wellness if we lose those who feed us?


Welcome to Episode Sixty-Three of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!! 


In this episode, we spoke with Dana DiPrima, founder of the For Farmers Movement, a dedicated advocate for small farmers, and the host of the One Bite is Everything podcast on Heritage Radio Network. With a corporate leadership and grassroots activism background, Dana brings a strategic, solutions-driven approach to conversations about food and farming. She believes that food is more than just what’s on our plates—it’s a powerful force shaping our health, communities, environment, and economy.


Join us as we discuss Dana’s personal journey with nature, how she became an “accidental farmer,”  the challenges that small farmers face, and our detachment from our food. 


Dana discusses the For Farmers Movement, which provides grants to help small farms manage modern demands and how buying local helps strengthen communities. 


This conversation taught us how to plant the seeds of change, nurture and grow them, and harvest them when the time is right.
