Mollie explains how 170,000 farms have vanished in eight years, how the U.S. became a food importer, and why true freedom starts with reconnecting to the land. Together they explore practical solutions, from SNAP reform to supporting local farmers, and what it means to build resilience through discomfort, family, and community.
