About this listen
Dennis hosts Salt Bridge Farm Podcast and interviews intern Dani Vajtay as he finishes his semester, reflecting on hands-on work clearing trees and brush, learning chainsaw safety, and seeing the property’s transformation. They discuss mushroom log inoculation at a volunteer event and plans to grow oyster mushrooms plus varieties like lion’s mane, reishi, and shiitake. Dani shares how the internship inspired him about sustainable greenhouses, aquaponics, and the farm’s potential to feed many people with the right plan, team, and funding. Dennis explains how they pursue grants by staying plugged in through LinkedIn, using tools including AI, researching funders’ language, and creating pitch-style videos like a recent Kubota grant application. They also cover networking, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and advice for future interns to work slowly, deliberately, and find fulfilling roles.
