Our guest today is Cole Mannix. Cole grew up near the small community of Helmville, on a ranch that his family has run 1882. Today, he lives about 60 miles east of Helmville with his spouse, Eileen Brennan, and their two sons, Finn and Charlie. For the past 15 years, Cole has worked as a sort of urban ranch hand, as he’s built Old Salt Co-op, a vertically integrated, regenerative meat marketplace for fine American meat. He loves good food and live music in small venues.
