This episode highlights how small-scale regenerative farming and artisanal production offer nutrient-dense, vitality-rich food that mass production simply can't match.

Other key topics discussed:
- The difference between handmade, small-batch production and industrial manufacturing.

- Why mass-produced foods lack the same nutritional value as small-batch, artisanal foods.

- The greenwashing of organic labels and the hidden realities of industrial organic farming.

- Jared's journey from Wall Street to farming, and his decision to prioritize passion over profit.

- The impact of large-scale, monoculture farming on nutrient depletion in food.

- How conscious food choices can drastically improve personal health and vitality.

Jared Pickard is the founder of Be Here Farm + Nature, a small-scale farm that specializes in biodynamic, nutrient-dense products and artisanal skincare. With a background in farming, hospitality, and mindfulness, Jared left Wall Street to pursue his passion for regenerative agriculture and to help people connect with nature through the food they consume and the products they use.
