Simple Doesn't Mean Easy

Would you like to be able to decipher the marketing ploys of the food industry? Would you like to know how to feed your family better quality meat while wading through the greenwashed terms?

If you've ever wondered what questions you can (& should!) ask of your meat suppliers, this episode is a must listen!

Doug Stonebreaker is answering all this and more in today's episode.

Doug is a life-long rancher and the Director of Supply Chain for 99 Counties--a one-of-its-kind platform that is connecting consumers to quality meats, from small, regenerative family farms in the midwest.

Doug shares his insights on the complexities of ranching, sustainable agriculture, and the challenges of sourcing quality meat. He also highlights the role of 99 Counties in supporting small regenerative farmers and addresses the overwhelming influence of big agriculture on the food supply chain.

We discuss the challenges faced by small farmers and the importance of understanding food labels and certifications. We dig into organic and grass-fed standards, the need for transparency in meat supply, and the evolution of sustainable practices in agriculture.

About Michelle Visser

Hi, so nice to meet you! I’m Michelle, a former processed food junkie turned real-food enthusiast.

My husband and I live on a small New England farm and sugarbush with a lot of gardens. But I’m passionate about helping folks have more real food in their lives, no matter where they live. No farm or garden required.

I'm so glad you're here. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a quick 5-star review. It helps me so much & I excitedly read every one.
