On this episode, we have Heidi Diestel who is a fourth fourth-generation turkey farmer and executive at Diestel Family Ranch.
Diestel Family Ranch has been raising turkeys since 1949, and they’re supporting regenerative agriculture with their Non-GMO, regeneratively raised turkeys that are certified Regenified™.
In this episode, Heidi schools us on their family’s journey raising turkeys and how their practices and products have evolved over the years, she gives us an in-depth look at how they raise their regenerative birds and source regenerative feed, plus she breaks down how they think about product innovation and what is coming in the future from Diestel.
Listen folks, that calendar says November, so it is time to start thinking about that Thanksgiving turkey. We went in-depth for a big-time Turkey 101 with Heidi today, and we were fascinated by everything we learned. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did, and more importantly, we hope you’re serving a regenerative turkey at your holiday meal here in a few weeks.
