Hello friends!
I have a brand new podcast episode live and today I’m talking about something that’s so close to my heart: where our food actually comes from.
Joining me is the incredible Jenni Harris, fifth-generation farmer and marketing director at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you’ve ever stood on the supermarket shelf and wondered what “regenerative” or “pasture-raised” actually means (and whether it’s worth it), this episode will answer ALL your questions about it.
Here’s what we’re talking about:
- What regenerative agriculture actually means and why it goes beyond “sustainable”.
- The three changes (industrialization, commercialization, centralization) that changed agriculture for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back
- Why animal welfare is about more than just “cage freedom” and what it really looks like when animals are able to express their instinctive behavior
- How soil health is directly related to the nutrient density of your food
- Why White Oak Pastures ditched pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the wild story of how they started using them in the first place
- How multi-species grazing is actually a natural alternative to chemicals
- The case for local food systems and why your local farmer is more important than a big national brand
- How YOU can support regenerative farmers by not just voting with your money
And much more!!
This episode is a friendly reminder that good nutrition isn’t just about macros and calories, but also about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.
