Betsy Hosp
A teacher, first
Betsy Hosp has spent decades in the place where children, community and land meet — writing curriculum, founding a school, running teaching farms. Earth’s Voice grew out of that work. The coaching and consulting offered here is the same practice, brought to whoever asks for it.
Founder, Earth’s Voice
Betsy is an educator, author and regenerative agriculture leader whose work has always sat at the meeting point of children, community and the land. Over more than two decades that has taken the shape of classrooms, farms, statewide agencies and a school built around an outdoor classroom — different forms of the same question: how do people come to know the ground they live on?
She currently leads regenerative agriculture and rural teaching-farm programs in Alabama, where the work is measured in seasons rather than semesters. Before that she developed K–12 regenerative agriculture curriculum, founded statewide early-childhood agencies, and started a Montessori school designed so that the outdoors was the classroom rather than a trip away from it.
What she brings to a family, a co-op or an organization is what she has already built and run herself. Every plan she writes is one she would be willing to carry out.
What she has built
None of this began as a service. Each of these was built because it was needed, run for real people, and improved over years of doing it.
K–12 regenerative agriculture curriculum
A full sequence for school-age learners, written to be taught by people who are not agronomists.
A Montessori school with the outdoors at its center
Founded and built around an outdoor classroom, rather than adding one later.
Statewide early-childhood agencies
Organizations founded from nothing and grown to serve families across a state.
Rural teaching-farm programs
Working farms in Alabama where the learning happens in the field, season by season.
How she works
Alongside, not ahead
Work moves at the pace you can hold, not the pace a plan would prefer. The point is that it lasts after the sessions end.
No test to pass
You don’t need to have started already, or to be doing it well. Eco living is a practice, and everyone comes to it from somewhere.
Made to be run
Every plan is built for the people who will carry it out — with their time, their budget and their staffing already in it.
Author
Edenic Gardening
An invitation to slow down and play. Drawing on the wisdom of George Washington Carver alongside Dr. Stuart Brown’s research on play, the book helps you find your own play type and use it to grow an organic garden that looks and feels like yours rather than like anyone else’s.
No prescriptions to follow — just discovery, and the pleasure of coming back to the garden again and again.
Power of One Woman came out of three years of interviews with women across the United States who are working for the earth. It exists to put that work in front of other women, and to move them to act on it.
