Episode 57 - A Food Freedom Victory? Massie, Salatin, and the Future of Ag Policy

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2138202/open_sms] This week, we’re thrilled to have Tye Ward join us on the podcast for the first time! We’re diving into some exciting news: Joel Salatin, the self described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, lunatic farmer, author, and sustainable agriculture advocate, has accepted an advisory role with the incoming U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Even bigger news Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie might be tapped for the top spot! If Massie steps into this role, it would be a monumental win for small farmers, consumers, and the fight for food freedom. With his strong support for liberty and sustainable agriculture, Massie could bring real, much-needed change to the department.  From Cody at Winnow Glen Farm [https://www.instagram.com/winnowglenfarm/] and Tyler at Pike Mountain Farm [https://www.instagram.com/pikemtnfarm/].
