  • Building the Kickstarter for Regenerative Farms — Dan Miller

  • Rewind Episode: Turning Teff into Granola — Claire Smith

    Claire Smith grew up as the 7th generation on a 2,300 acre family farm vowing to move as far away from the farm as she could. After graduating from University of Michigan with a BS Neuroscience and minor in Classics, she moved to western Canada. During this time, her parents decided to start pivoting the farm from corn and soybeans to alternative grains and seeds. Claire, acknowledging the irony, moved back to the farm to work with teff, an ancient grain native to Ethiopia. She created Teffola, or teff granola, and began selling to local grocery stores in Jan 2018. Since then, she's grown Teffola into 70 grocery stores and coffee shops across Michigan and is now branching into Chicago and Toledo. Follow along on her journey @eatteffola

  • Raising Happy Pigs from a Cowboy's Perspective — Neil Dudley

    As if that doesn’t keep Neil busy enough, he's picked up podcasting. You may know Neil from the Instagram account, The Cowboy Perspective. Most of the things he is confident in today stem from the things he learned and continues to learn from the cowboys and cowgirls in his life. The Cowboy Perspective is Neil's way of telling that story in hopes of being a resource to others.
