Do you know where your food comes from? Specifically, have you actually met the farmer who produced it? Chances are better than even that you have not, and unless you live in a very rural area, or happen to be a city-dwelling farmers market aficionado- you never will. Your meat and produce will continue to appear at your local grocers magically, and you will buy it, eat it, and likely have very little connection to where it came from.
As we as a society become more conscious about our health and food choices, it's more important than ever that we become increasingly discerning about not only the quality of our food, but also its origins.
In this episode, our guest Anya Fernald takes us deep into the heart of the 'Farm to Table' food movement, by walking us through the fascinating process of how she went from chef to farmer, to restaurateur with her company Belcampo Meat Co.
Anya is not only an inspiring thought leader, and entrepreneur but a bonafide expert when it comes to how to not only produce the healthiest food on the planet, but also how to avoid many of the inhumane and ultimately toxic practices present in our current industrial farming model. You will be shocked to find out some of the dirty trade secrets, and shady food-labeling scams currently used by the mega-farms, and restaurant industry.
This is not only a highly educational episode, but also one of true inspiration for anyone interested in breaking the mold and creating a new business model that makes a positive impact on the world, and all of it's inhabitants - animals included.
Don't forget to share this episode with anyone who loves to eat, and wants to learn how to find the healthiest, and highest quality food available.
To your health,
Luke
64% of the U.S. population is already drinking coffee, but 100% of us should be drinking Four Sigmatic coffee — because it’s more than just coffee! It has Lion's Mane, which is my favorite medicinal mushroom because it helps with focus, productivity, and creativity. It’s just like a little biohacking bomb for your brain! And what I love most about Four Sigmatic is that you can get all of that in an instant coffee, which is great for when you’re busy or on the go or just don’t want to make a cup of coffee. And of course we have a special offer for the Life Stylist podcast audience. You will get 15% off your Four Sigmatic order when you use the code LUKESTOREY at foursigmatic.com/LUKESTOREY.
