This week on Unsustainable we talk to Rachel Hoover, REYN’s master fermenter and a native Alaskan. Every year, Rachel, alongside her family and friends, harvests wild rose hips by hand from the mountains outside Cordova, Alaska. She then ferments her bounty using her intuitive and generational knowledge, resulting in beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids with transformative skin benefits.

In this episode, we talk about sustainability in one of the last truly wild and untouched parts of this world, the fine line between living off the land and stealing from the land, and the impact that environmental and socio-economic sustainability has had on Rachel and other native Alaskan women.
