Seasoned to Taste

On this week's episode of Seasoned to Taste I talk to Jacob from Sweet Grass Dairy about the regenerative agriculture meat and dairy farm he operates with his wife and family.

They were so kind to have me out to their farm, Jacob showed me around the pasture, I met the cows, chickens and pigs as well as a look into their farm market where I got to try their Bourbon Vanilla Gelato which was so delicious. If you are in the greater Columbus or Northeast Central Ohio Area, definitely give them a try for your next grocery run. So many amazing locally grown / produced products.

My meal by meal description of the Tastes of Texas from personal experience!
