How much do you know about how your food is grown, harvested, and processed? When you’re in the grocery store, how do you decide which option to buy?

If you're like me, you probably don’t know as much as you’d like to about these things.

I invite you to join me on this journey as I interview farmers, veterinarian, scientists - anyone involved in food production to learn what it AGTUALLY takes to grow and process our food.
