Most of Li\u2019s customers are Asian American and have encouraged her to grow a broad range of plants from the diaspora community, leading to Li pursuing some creative seed sourcing in addition to looking to a handful of US-based seed companies. Learn how Li has figured out how to grow these mostly subtropical plants in the hot, dry climate of California\u2019s Central Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Check out a short list of Cultural Roots Nursery\u2019s crops:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bitter melon<\/li>\n<li>Long beans<\/li>\n<li>Taiwanese basil<\/li>\n<li>Shiso<\/li>\n<li>Bo Ju Hua chrysanthemum tea plant<\/li>\n<li>Taro<\/li>\n<li>Ginger<\/li>\n<li>Goji berries<\/li>\n<li>Tong Ho chrysanthemum greens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Li talks about traveling in Taiwan, visiting with farmers and chefs, and learning about the food system and farming there. Hear about the accessible small-scale crop processing and infrastructure there and how this interplays with the food culture there. Li gets into the importance of cultural foodways to her work and way of living.<\/p>\n<p>Learn also about the California Farmer Justice Collaborative, which started out as a group formed to pass California\u2019s Farmer Equity Act in 2017 and now focuses on farmer support and legislation. And Li tells us about the Cal Ag Roots storytelling project that she works on with the California Institute for Rural Studies, unearthing the historical roots of agriculture in California.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the end to hear Li\u2019s favorite meal using the Asian-heritage foods that she grows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/culturalrootsnursery.com\/\">Cultural Roots Nursery website<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/culturalrootsnursery\/\">Cultural Roots Nursery on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmerjustice.com\/\">California Farmer Justice Collaborative\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"mailto:contact@culturalrootsnursery.com\">Email Li<\/a><\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOBBY FARMS PRESENTS: GROWING GOOD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5349,"featured_media":96389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10465],"tags":[11047,11803,10943],"class_list":["post-114796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","tag-hobby-farms-presents-growing-good","tag-li-schmidt","tag-podcast"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Episode 66: Li Schmidt - Hobby Farms<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Episode 66: Growing Good with Li Schmidt!
