In this episode of Play Hard & Love Big Radio, Nick Clark sits down with Roger McKinley, Director of the McKinley Family Farms and Educational Center. Roger shares his journey from working with educational toy companies and running a ranch supply business to his current mission: pioneering regenerative agriculture in the Treasure Valley.

The conversation dives deep into Roger’s vision for a "living farm" in Idaho—a project designed to reconnect the community with sustainable food systems and provide hands-on education for the next generation. Roger discusses the "triangle" of modern agriculture and explains why he believes shifting the focus back to soil health is essential for our collective well-being.

Key highlights from the episode include:

• The Evolution: How Roger’s background in education and supply industries led him to advocate for soil health and plant physiology.

• The Project: Details on Phase 1 of McKinley Family Farms, including a learning center, greenhouses, and a "working operational farm" designed for students and families.

• The Legacy: Why Roger is focusing on a nonprofit model to give back to the community and honor his family's agricultural roots.

• Health and Nutrition: A look at the correlation between soil quality and human health, and why Roger believes "you are what you eat."

• Community Connection: The importance of getting "grounded" in the dirt and building a space where neighbors can volunteer and grow together.
