EXPERIENCE 249 | Don’t Feed Your Cows Candy! - with Kevin Pallaoro, CEO of Grass Fed Foods, Inc.
Description
In this episode of The Loco Experience podcast, I sat down with Kevin Pallaoro, the CEO of Grass Fed Foods. Kevin shares his journey from growing up on a ranch in Salida, Colorado to becoming a leader in the natural beef industry. Did you know that Salida was heavily settled by Italian immigrants? - well you do now.
We delve into the history and operations of Grass Fed Foods and its brands Teton Waters Ranch and Sun Fed Ranch. Kevin's passion for healthy, sustainable food is evident as he discusses challenges in the industry, including the economics of beef production and honoring commitments to animal welfare and environmental sustainability. Did you know that most “grass fed beef” in the US is fed pelletized grass in a feedlot?!
We also explored Kevin’s family and career path, from financial roles in various food companies, including a season in Germany - to his current leadership position and how he ascended to the role. Kevin emphasizes the importance of balancing work and family, and drawing wisdom from experience and from mentors. Overall, it's a rich conversation about values, business strategy, and the drive to make a difference in the food industry. So please join me in enjoying my conversation with Kevin Pallaoro.
