Jupiter’s Almanac is a podcast about growing and producing the food we eat, featuring the hard-earned wisdom of chef and farmer Matthew Raiford. Matthew is the great-great-great grandson of Jupiter Gilliard, who bought farmland in Coastal Georgia in 1874, following his emancipation. Matthew and his family still farm that land today, nearly 150 years later, while promoting organic practices and sharing their Gullah-Geechee heritage through food.
In this series, Matthew is sharing what he’s learned from his inheritance, plus he’s inviting other farmers from Georgia and across the country to share their tips and stories, too. Jupiter’s Almanac is a show for everyone who is interested in growing their own food and reconnecting with the land – whether you are just starting out with a square foot garden or a seasoned farmer.

Matthew is a strong believer that “the time to get out the map is before you enter the woods.” That’s why this week he’s diving deep into natural disaster readiness. He and Jovan share what they experienced while sheltering in place during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and then Matthew offers advice on how to create a plan for yourself, your garden, and your pets in the case of a natural disaster. Plus, he shares what he thinks should be added to any go-bag during Covid-19 and Jovan gives us a recipe for some delicious high-energy bites.
