• Space Films, Produce and History (Livestream) - The History of Fresh Produce

  "They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it. So technically, I colonized Mars. In your face , Neil Armstrong!"As Mark Watney's line from the book and film The Martian suggests, fruits and vegetables have long played a starring role in our visions of space. Sometimes they’re subtle symbols of home; other times, they’re humanity’s only hope for survival.But how realistic are these space gardens? Could these crops truly grow beyond Earth - and if they could, would they be enough to sustain life? And what lessons can we draw from history, when explorers relied on produce to survive their own journeys into the unknown?Join John and Patrick on this month's livestream as they pull out the popcorn to talk space films, produce and history!-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: [email protected]

• How a Hike in the DR Changed Everything!

  In this reflective episode with, Patrick Kelly he shares how the Water for All Hike with BLUE Missions and Continental Fresh reshaped his perspective on something most of us never think twice about: water. After walking the same paths families in the Dominican Republic travel daily to access clean water, Patrick describes the weight of their stories, the resilience of the communities he met, and the realization that water isn’t a convenience — it’s life, opportunity, and the foundation for a thriving future.Patrick then connects this experience back to the produce industry, reminding his listeners that water is the starting point of everything we grow, ship, and serve. Clean water doesn’t just hydrate people — it activates communities, powering local agriculture, entrepreneurship, and economic stability. This episode is both a thank-you and a call to action for industry leaders to step up, get involved, and recognize the shared responsibility we have to support the communities that make our work possible.www.bluemissions.org and www.continentalfresh.com
