Utopihen Talk - Small Conversations For A Better World

Let's break down Utopihen Farms. 

Who are we? What do we do? What are we passionate about and striving towards? 

Join Tyrell and I as we delve into what makes Utopihen Farms Utopihen!

Joining us today is Lucas Toews, a student of agriculture, regenerative farming, and the beautiful world we call home. 

As of a few months ago, Lucas was the farm coordinator here at Utopihen Farms. He has since moved on to further pursue his passion and love of our wonderful planet and what ways we can work with nature to improve upon our agricultural systems. 

Tune into our conversation today to hear a definition of regenerative agriculture, and what makes pasture raised hens and eggs so great!

Our guest today is Jake Hill. He is 25 years old and passionate about fitness and mental wellbeing. 

He resides with his wife, Alee in Mississippi. Aside from his accounting profession, his main passion is mental and physical health.

Jake lives by the code of being "1% better" each and every day. "Life can be a lot and starting your fitness & wellness journey can be overwhelming, so I try to focus on daily improvement/my "1%". It is my goal to inspire and help others to become the best version of themselves and to live a life they love."

Our guest today is, Mandy Schulz. She is the marketing manager for Hart Dairy. Hart Dairy is the first pasteurized dairy cow milk in the USA to be Certified Humane®. They treat their cows with the best care, meaning they are pasture raised, grass fed, and aren’t even milked indoors. These cows live an ideal life, grazing in wide, lush, green pastures just the way we imagine them and exactly the way they want to!

In this episode we dive into a discussion with Ashleigh VanHouten, also known as the Muscle Maven, about body building for women, secrets (or no secrets) to eating healthy, and managing a growing family while juggling a career, health-life, and body building routines.
