🚫 NO imported BEEF here!
On this episode of The Healthy Practitioner podcast, Chris O’Connell of O'Connell Organic Acres shares his experience running an organic farm just outside Bankston, Iowa.
Chris shares his path from teacher to carrying on his family’s farming legacy, what it actually takes to run and stay certified organic, his honest take on glyphosate and the direction conventional agriculture is heading, and why knowing your farmer may matter more than any label at the grocery store.
We also get into the connection between how our food is grown and rising rates of chronic disease, along with simple places to start if you want to eat cleaner and support local farms.
This is a grounded, practical conversation about real food, healthy soil and taking back some control over what ends up on your plate!
