In this episode, we talk to Patrick Samuels of Sunnyside Egg Co. as he shares how he scaled from 50 backyard chickens to 7,000 birds across multiple farms in just 6 months—all while staying true to regenerative principles.

Not only that, we also uncover the shocking truth about what "pasture raised" really means in the commercial egg industry, why the co-op model crushes the solo farmer approach, and how profitable partnerships can reduce overall operating costs by 50% or more.
