I speak again with Ashley Armstrong about farming, food freedom and rebuilding our food system.
We cover farm burnout, food labels, chicken feed and Michigan’s food freedom bill. Ashley shares how pasture and animal care shape food quality, and how Nourish Food Club connects farmers with families.
Thanks for listening.
What we cover:
• Farm burnout and better systems
• Food labels and online misinformation
• Pasture-raised chickens and their feed
• Michigan’s food freedom bill and raw milk
• Pasture, food quality and animal care
• Farmer cooperation and direct sales
