Episode 50: The Skills We’ve Lost and Why We Want Them Back | Green Door Folk School (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kristina Schnepf spent 30 years climbing the corporate ladder before a very different kind of work called her name. One day, she watched a construction crew building something outside her office window…and something clicked. She realized she wanted to build things with her own hands, too.

Read excerpt
When Sarah Siburt stepped away from a 23-year career in public education to become the Executive Director of Timberview Farmstead , she didn't just take on a new job, she stepped onto a 150-acre canvas of pure possibility. Built on the site of a former golf course in South Fort Worth, Texas, this rapidly growing nonprofit teaching farm has undergone a massive transformation to connect a bustling urban community back to the land. Despite opening its doors to the public in 2024, Timberview has sca
