Today I’m thrilled to welcome Tara Vander Dussen to The Business of Wellness Podcast! 

Tara is a fifth generation dairy farmer best known online as @thenewmexicomilkmaid. She’s also an environmental consultant, mom of two girls, farm wife and co-host of the Discover Ag podcast (with which I am currently obsessed). We discuss: Dairy myths, farming myths, food and nutrition myths, agriculture myths…basically, you name a myth about food and nutrition, it’s covered on this episode of the podcast. We talk about Tara’s background and upbringing on a dairy farm, how she got into environmental science (and what it actually means to practice as an environmental scientist in real life); her work day-to-day on a dairy farm; what it’s like to produce dairy at scale and where/how her product’s supply chain is produced and ultimately sold; the unsung benefits of milk that you might not know about, and why we both think that the Got Milk? Campaign of the 1990’s was so damn brilliant. 

This episode is so much fun and so insightful– I can’t wait to hear what you think.
