There’s a growing movement taking place in our food system, and Rooted Rebellion aims to shed light on it.

Rooted Rebellion, created by Orion Farmstead, is a bold, heart-forward podcast spotlighting the people and practices reshaping our food system from the ground up. Hosted by Ashton Todd, the show digs deep into the stories of regenerative farmers, soil scientists, food activists, and land stewards who are challenging the food-industry status quo and reclaiming meaningful, traditional foodways.

Each episode is a warm, candid, conversational invitation to reconnect with food and land. Rooted in real life experiences, podcast guests each bring a different perspective and background to the table, but all share a commitment to building a better food future. Episodes are accessible yet deep, engaging for both newcomers and veterans in the food-system space.

Some topics so far have included: 

For Ashton and the team at Orion Farmstead, Rooted Rebellion is more than just a podcast. It’s an extension of their mission: celebrating the local agricultural tradition, built on neighborliness and resilience, and fostering healthy, holistic lifestyles. By creating space for dialogue and discovery, this show serves as a bridge between cutting-edge ecological thinking and everyday listeners who are hungry for change, encourages listeners to think differently about where their food comes from, and how we can all take part in reshaping the system that sustains us.

Whether you’re a curious eater, aspiring farmer, regenerative agriculture advocate, food justice activist, holistic living enthusiast, or simply a person seeking reconnection to land and meaning, this podcast is for you.
