Cook Your Way to an Economy of Peace with Cate Havstad-Casad
Listen now
Description
Cate Havstad-Casad is redefining what it means to be a holistic entrepreneur. Using her lens of holism and looking at how to scale businesses while still keeping in mind natural limits of growth, she has built Havstad Hat Co and Range Revolutions and Casad Family Farms in conjunction with her husband, Chris. She is as passionate about soil as she is about her community and as passionate about her community as she is about changing the world. In this episode we talk about her incredible closed loop farm, the revolution she is building in the fashion world with Range Revolution, and her new venture building a co-op in Central Oregon. We also explore water in the West and tease out both bureaucratic and climatic drought and how to build more resilient systems in brittle environments. In this reverse interview, we delve into Cate’s heritage and what makes her tick in the latter half of the show - exploring how we inherit intergenerational strengths and how we can consider passing those along to our kids.  Find Cate: Instagram: @rangerevolution, @casadfamilyfarms, @havstadhatco  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@casadfamilyfarms Timestamps: 00:07:10: Cate + Kate Begin: Defining a Revolution 00:11:37: Economics of Peace  00:16:33: Closed loop systems and Casad Family Farms 00:37:13: Drought  01:03:36: Range Revolution and regenerative leather  01:27:29: Economies of scale  01:39:51: Our heritage is a part of what drives us  01:49:54: Our parents, becoming parents Resources Schumacher Center: An Economics of Peace Megan French of Boundless Farmstead Books: Wendell Berry on Building an Economics of Peace For the Love of Soil by Nicole Masters Listening: Long Promised Road by the Beach Boys Current Discounts for MBS listeners: 15% off Farm True ghee and body care products using code: KATEKAV1520% off Home of Wool using code KATEKAVANAUGH for 10% off15% off Bon Charge blue light blocking gear using code: MINDBODYSOIL15 Join the Ground Work Collective: Find a Farm: nearhome.groundworkcollective.com Find Kate: @kate_kavanaugh More: groundworkcollective.com Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: a...
