As we as a society become more conscious about our health and food choices, it's more important than ever that we become increasingly discerning about not only the quality of our food, but also it's origins. 

In this episode, our guest Anya Fernald takes us deep into the heart of the 'Farm to Table' food movement, by walking us through the fascinating process of how she went from chef to farmer, to restaurateur with her company Belcampo Meat Co.

Anya is not only an inspiring thought leader, and entrepreneur but a bonafide expert when it comes to how to not only produce the healthiest food on the planet, but also how to avoid many of the inhumane and ultimately toxic practices present in our current industrial farming model. You will be shocked to find out some of the dirty trade secrets, and shady food-labeling scams currently used by the mega-farms, and restaurant industry.

This is not only a highly educational episode, but also one of true inspiration for anyone interested in breaking the mold and creating a new business model that makes a positive impact on the world, and all of it's inhabitants- animals included.

Don't forget to share this episode with anyone who loves to eat, and wants to learn how to find the healthiest, and highest quality food available.

To your health,

Luke
