Apples and Honey: Sweetness in Dark Times [Wild Talk Short]

What can the wild world teach us about how to push through in tough times? And how can we use those lessons to help ourselves, and our kids, look towards a future none of us can yet define? In this episode, host Emily Kagan-Trenchard goes on a deeply personal journey to craft a new ritual for finding ways to keep going.

Starting from the Jewish tradition of eating apples dipped in honey, Emily explores the strange and beautiful ways that bees and apple orchards survive from generation to generation. Emily calls upon her family, co-host Jay Erickson, Field Maloney of West Country Cider and Josh Viertel of Harlem Valley Homestead to talk about the things that help all creatures get by. From snuggle puddles and booze to intergenerational trauma and legacy, we head into the dark places to help bring all of us some sweetness and light.
