Our Hen House 12 August 2023 5


Background
share close

There is no place more relaxing than a beautiful garden, and nothing better to eat than homegrown fruits and vegetables, but what is a vegan to do when all of the potting soils and fertilizers are riddled with animal products? Jimmy Videle has the answers, and he joins us today to discuss his new book, The Veganic Grower’s Handbook: Cultivating Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs from Urban Backyard to Rural Farmyard, as well as the new North American Veganic Certification Standard.

Films (producers of Cowspiracy and What the Health), Humane Party USA, and the Animal Protection Party, Canada. He lives with his wife, Mélanie Bernier, and five rescue cats on the small-scale veganic farm, La Ferme de l’Aube, in Boileau, Québec. A full-time organic farmer since 2005, he is also the author of the recently released The Veganic Grower’s Handbook: Cultivating Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs from Urban Backyard to Rural Farmyard, the host of The Veganic Grower’s Hour YouTube show, and the co-founder of the North American Veganic Certification Standard.
