This is Jeff, the head farmer and gardener and Habitable Spaces. A.K.A. Jefe, which means CHIEF in Spanish. A.K.A. the Shirtless Farmer. His constant sense of humor makes it so much fun. Jeff is the social vortex of the space and takes new volunteers under his wings and shows them the ropes. If you're city folk visiting for the first time, trips to the river and rope swings are inevitable. He's also a wealth of information on stars and constellations. Long card games, bonfires and walks through the woods with the gang of dogs are always part of her Jefe's mix. We talk a lot about volunteer farming organizations. He is of a new generation of people unconcerned with money and owning things, but plays a mad ukulele. It's a hoot 'n holler watching him and Becks Love the Content Clown dueling their songs. In the kitchen, he's known as the Bread Master. He creates loaves in so many amazing flavors. Soft on the inside and crunchy on the exterior. Meet Jefe, the Head Farmer!

Tripping with Tripp

WHAT A TRIP! My fun and frivolous NY podcast took a serious turn to LOCKDOWN on a farm and artist residency in deeply rural Kingsbury, TX, as the world suddenly came to a grinding halt because of a worldwide pandemic and quarantine. Standing in the center of this sleepy railroad town, you'd never know it's less than an hour from the bustling cities of Austin & San Antonio, but this hidden gem has an amazing diversity of creative and unique characters who are artists of a different nature.Habitable Spaces has always been an inspiration to me as it evolved from just a dream of Alison and Shane when we were roommates in Brooklyn that materialized when they made the leap and moved to family land in 2012. Eight years later, they oversee a non-profit artist residency and farm that has become a launch pad and connector for community, and an incubator for creative minds worldwide. This city boy never envisioned being so excited by mulch or manure, and who knew curds and whey were a real thing? Recent worldwide lockdown has made self-sufficiency in our communities more crucial than ever. People are realizing how fragile our systems are and how much of them we have been taking for granted. Shane and Alison decided a long time ago that the system wasn’t working for them, and they decided to live outside of it. Habitable Spaces is a center for arts and agriculture. In a nutshell, they teach farmers how to make art and artists how to farm.I’m learning LOTS and will introduce you to some of the artists, ideas and methods of sustainability and mindfulness that they use in their daily lives. Alter your perspective and ignite your curiosity tripping with friends at Habitable Spaces Farm & Artist Residency.CREDITS | Producer - Caitlin Pierce | Editors - Ben Montoya, Riley Corcoran | Train Town Band Members: Seth Armstrong - Song Writer, Vocals, Guitar | Jerry McNulty - Steel Guitar | Dru Bengsston - Bass | Music Producer - David Beck | SPECIAL THANKS: 2020 Audio Podcast Fellows at Stony Brook University-Manhattan​ [PodcastFellows.com]LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE AT TRIPPINGWITHTRIPP.COM.
