Cohen and his family left city life some years ago to pursue simple living at their 3-acre Small House Farm\u2014only to find his farming whims pulled him right back to the kind of profit-driven lifestyle he was trying to escape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hear how Cohen left a marketing career for simpler endeavors in rural central Michigan. Learn about pressing your own cooking oils from nuts and seeds\u2014a fresh, homegrown alternative to grocery-store options. Bevin also tells us about seed libraries\u2014how they work and what they can do for our modern world. And listen in as he recounts some lessons he&#8217;s learned while trying to keep things simple (sometimes despite his own homesteading passions).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/author\/bevin-cohen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bevin Cohen on <span class=\"s1\">HobbyFarms.com<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallhousefarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Small House Farm<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsociety.com\/books\/c\/the-complete-guide-to-seed-and-nut-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Complete Guide to Seed and Nut Oils: Growing, Foraging, and Pressing<\/em><\/a> (available for pre-order)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOBBY FARMS PRESENTS: GROWING GOOD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5349,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10465],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-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 22: Bevin Cohen - Hobby Farms<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Episode 22 of Hobby Farms Presents: Growing Good with Bevin Cohen!
