In this episode, Taylor Muglia shares her fascinating journey from a student to a mentor in the world of regenerative agriculture. Her path takes her across the globe, from the U.S. to Italy, where she honed her butchery skills and learned about food and safety regulations. Upon returning to the U.S., she adapted to a new community while managing a custom herd of cattle, sheep, and poultry. The discussion then shifts to Quivira Coalition's New Agrarian Program (where Taylor works as the NAP's Colorado Manager), aimed at empowering budding agrarians. She talks about the application process, mentor-apprentice matching, and the variety of operations the program supports. Taylor also shares the challenges and triumphs of building a community, the importance of mental health support, and the impact of their program on its alumni.
