Viking Gardening

April 22, 2025 • Andy Perry and Kate Perry

In this episode, we travel back in time to talk about the gardening and growing adventures of the Vikings. The Viking era was a fascinating one and Andy really wanted to talk about what the Vikings grew, how growing informed and changed their society but most importantly - asking what did the Vikings eat to make them so crazy when they went into battle.

Grab a cup of mead and jump on board the long boat. We are sailing towards the Viking Era.
