Description

Dan Simons, Founding Farmers co-founder, opened his first restaurant in 2008 before terms like sustainability and farm-to-table were commonplace on menus. Today the farmer-owned restaurant continues to help set the standards for how a mission-driven company can meet the needs of farmers, guests, and employees. Speaking to guest host Gloria Dawson, Dan discusses how everything from the Black Lives Matters movement to awareness of menopause in the workplace are restaurant issues.
