Ethical Consumer Podcast

Proving Alaskan food is more than just salmon - founder Jenn Brown and sales and marketing director Chelsea Goucher sit down to talk about the more non-traditional food ingredients they incorporate into their company - Foraged & Found. 

Based in Ketchikan, Alaska, Foraged & Found is creating delicious pickles, salsas, sauces, and seasonings so that those of us who can’t make the trip up north, can have a taste of what Alaska has to offer.  We discuss how they’re scaling up their business sustainably and helping their state’s economy grow while Covid-19 has Alaskan tourism in a bind.  Check out these awesome products coming VERY SOON to the rest of the 50 states!

What is the best oil for delicious nut butters and chocolate spreads?  Give you a hint - it has the best ratio of Omega 3s and Omega 6s AND is easier on the environment than other commonly used oils.  See how Stanley Prawaridjaja, creator of Good Galaxy nutritious chocolate spreads, is using sustainable ingredients to create an out of this world treat that kids will love, and parents will approve of!  (Parents probably won’t be able to resist, either!)

Stanley also shared his favorite mixing contraption to combine your favorite nut butters and spreads. Separation is natural! A butter knife works great, but if you’re a nut butter connoisseur, check this out! (link)

Joining us for this episode is Audrey Tran Lam, the Environmental Health Program Manager at the Center for Energy and Environmental Education at the University of Northern Iowa. 

Farming for Public Health, much like our podcast, aims to highlight a void in most energy and environmental studies:  the impact on public health.  What we do upstream has a direct affect on what goes on downstream - and this is especially relevant when talking about farming.  Join us to hear what Audrey has to say on the matter! 

Farming for Public health is one of the many programs at the Center for Energy & Environmental Education at the University of Northern Iowa

Our episode today is with Ecolips founder Steve Shriver.  Learn how Ecolips was ahead of the curve in the quest for the best ingredients, practices, and ethics before a lot of today’s certifications even existed.  In addition to being an organic mogul, Steve and his companies are also constantly giving back to their community, especially in the aftermath of the derecho storm that devastated much of central Iowa earlier this year.
