A.J. Richards is a man on a mission. He has created From the Farm, a platform aimed at decentralizing the food supply chain and empowering family farms.
From the Farm is not just a business; it’s a movement. It connects consumers directly with farmers and ranchers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also provides consumers with the opportunity to know exactly where their food is coming from. A.J. emphasizes the importance of transparency and trust in the food industry, stating, “We want to cut out all the middlemen that are completely unnecessary.”
AJ touches on the cost of raising clean meat and produce, versus the factory produced food we currently consume.He also emphasizes the importance of humane treatment of animals at slaughter. Stress hormones from the animals flows into the meat you consume! Instead he advocates for field harvesting, which minimizes stress for the animals and ultimately leads to better quality meat. This commitment to ethical practices is a core value of From the Farm, as they strive to support producers who prioritize animal welfare.
How can we transform our current industrial system to a healthier one? First is education. Understand the food supply chain so you can make informed choices. Then, gradual adoption. Start by sourcing just one item from a local producer. As your knowledge and awareness grows, you will move into ever healthier choices,
Clean food is a passion of mine and I hope this podcast resonates with you and makes you stop and think. How could you be making healthier choices?
