Avery Claire Wrigglesworth is a former ballerina and an administrator in international finance who gave it all up to come home and try to save the family farm. And it hasn’t been all roses. Several years in, they realized a traditional cow-calf model couldn’t pencil out for them. Out of necessity, Avery Claire and her husband Marc transitioned to a thriving modern direct-to-consumer business, Lily Hill Cattle, in Georgia. But the struggles didn’t end there. On this episode we hear about Avery Claire’s origins, the growth of Lily Hill Cattle, and the trials they face to stay on the land.

Mariah Gladstone (Blackfeet, Cherokee) is a botanist, a chef, and an advocate for healthy eating and indigenous foods. She joins us today for a conversation about the invisible foods all around us, what it means to re-indigenize our diets, and how food was used as a tool of colonization. We also talk about food sovereignty, the limits of the term ‘food desert,’ and the Irish Potato Famine that wasn’t.

Chews Wisely - The Case For Factory Farming
play

04/11/23 • 42 min

Warning: this episode requires an open mind and an earnest desire to learn about our food system. Today, Caroline asks: what is factory farming, how did it come about, and is it really so bad? We’re taking a sincere look at the good things about our current food system, because we can’t change a food system we don’t understand. We start with history, get into the Green Revolution, and end the episode myth-busting the biggest claims against factory farming. And in the next episode, we’re going to tear it all down.
