Description
Hosted by @Regenaisanceman with the mission of reconnecting us back to where our food is grown & exposing everything that is wrong with our broken food system. We are more disconnected from our food than we ever have been. I sit down with ranchers and farmers to give them a voice and hear their stories, helping paint a picture of what it really looks like to support humanity with food. I also will be talking to others involved in the agriculture space as there is a lot that goes into it all. My hope is that from hearing this podcast you will begin to question what you eat and where from.

That's SeasonsATX.Founders Jason & Jeremiah wanted to provide a meal delivery service that sources ingredients locally from regenerative farms and ranches. We dive into how they started the business and how we can better support the regenerative agriculture movement moving forward."Regenerative, Artisanal, Local FoodWe source our ingredients from local Texas farmers and ranchers who tend to their land and livestock using traditional techniques that support the environment, rather than degrade it. Once their harvest is in our hands, we strive to tend to it with as much care as they do. We make all of our dishes from scratch using nutrient-rich ingredients like fresh herbs, in-house rendered fats, sea salt, and slow cook bone broths. We choose to cook with filtered water and no seed oils."SeasonsATX SeasonsATX IG

I sat down with Ecologist and Author, Mark Easter to discuss his new book, The Blue Plate. "Ecologist Mark Easter offers a detailed picture of the impact the foods you love have on the earth. Organized by the ingredients of a typical dinner party, including seafood, salad, bread, chicken, steak, potatoes, and fruit pie with ice cream, each chapter examines the food through the lens of the climate crisis. Gathered like guests around the table, here are the stories of these foods: the soil that grew the lettuce, the farmers and ranchers and orchardists who steward the land, the dairy and farm workers and grocers who labor to bring it to the table. Each chapter reveals the causes and effects of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the social and environmental impact of out-of-season and ar-from-home demand." Amazon The Blue Plate
