If People Only Knew that good food costs money. A pound of ground beef should not be cheaper than a pound of processed potato chips.
AJ’s philosophy is simple: Shake the hand that feeds you. With that in mind, he has created From the Farm to connect you with local farmers.
In this episode we talk about our time at Turning Point, the dangerous decline in family farms, and how the US is heading towards famine.
