Air, Water, Tea and Your Health with Michael D. Ham of Wild Orchard Teas
What has become known as conventional agriculture is part of the reason for the state of grave environmental degradation we find ourselves living in, which is having negative impacts on our health. Although regenerative farming may be a new term, it’s actually an ancient practice based on the way nature intended us to consume food.
Through Wild Orchard Regenerative Teas, Michael Don Ham is doing his part to improve the health of our natural ecosystems and our bodies. In this episode, you will hear about the benefits of regenerative methods and products and what sets Wild Orchard apart from other tea companies, as well as how Michael’s other company, RePure, is optimizing indoor air quality.
To hear Michael’s story, as well as the invaluable role that you, as a consumer, play in the “better for the world” movement, tune in now!

“You can have a lot of pollutants in the home and you wouldn’t even know. So, RePure is about putting monitoring in there, just like our bodies have sensors. We try to have the home mimic the human body in terms of sensing foreign bodies and then using smart controls to automate the remediation of pollution events.” — Michael Don Ham [0:10:00]
“Studies show that the average American actually consumes one credit card of plastic a week because we’re breathing in microplastics or consuming them through the water.” — Michael Don Ham [0:13:02]
“Right now there’s this regenerative movement, but this is the ancient way of farming. It’s the way nature intended for us to obtain our food and our crops.” — Michael Don Ham [0:18:47]
