Why do grocery-store greens taste flat—and help less? 🥬
Regenerative farmer Kevin Marshall (Indigo Acres) breaks down how leafy greens can lose ~40% of nutrients in just 8 days after harvest, why many store greens are 10–14 days old, and how living soil, cover crops, and no-till flip the script on nutrition, flavor, pests, and profit.
We dig into:
- Dirt vs. soil: billions of microbes, fungi, and the underground food web 🌱
- Cover cropping & no-till: fewer chemicals, better water retention, richer flavor
- Natural pest control: Bt & neem oil (why healthy plants need fewer sprays)
- Cold-chain & harvest timing: how farms preserve nutrients (and how you can, too)
- Local > shipped: why “fresh today” beats “beautiful but old” greens every time
- Profit with purpose: how better soil can 2–3× yields on the same bed
