What if the way we raise our food could reverse environmental damage, rebuild soil health, and strengthen our communities? In this episode, we visit The Moody Goat, a regenerative ranch in Moody, Texas, where rancher David Dietsch, Jr. is on a mission to do just that. David shares how his practices go beyond sustainability—aiming to actively restore the land while producing some of the most flavorful chicken and goat meat around. We explore the deeper importance of regenerative agriculture, how it impacts our food systems, and why healing the land matters to all of us.
David opens up about the hard work, philosophy, and deep care that goes into every acre of his ranch. Through his story, we see how farming can be a powerful tool for environmental restoration and community health. Whether you're a conscious consumer, an aspiring grower, or just curious about where your food comes from, this episode offers a compelling look at a better path forward.
