Why Small-Scale Farming Is Essential For A Healthier Future w/ Jared Pickard | MMP #364

The Meat Mafia Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the world of small-scale regenerative farming and why artisanal production brings us food packed with nutrients and vitality that mass production just can’t replicate.

Here’s what we cover:

• The real difference between handmade, small-batch production and industrial manufacturing.
• Why mass-produced foods fall short in nutritional value compared to small-batch, artisanal alternatives.
• The greenwashing behind organic labels and the truth about industrial organic farming.
• Jared’s powerful story of walking away from Wall Street to prioritize passion and purpose over profit.
• How monoculture farming is depleting nutrients in our food and what that means for our health.
• Why making conscious food choices is key to improving your health and overall vitality.

Jared Pickard is the founder of Be Here Farm + Nature, a small-scale regenerative farm focused on producing biodynamic, nutrient-dense products and artisanal skincare. With experience spanning farming, hospitality, and mindfulness, Jared left the finance world to follow his passion for regenerative agriculture and helping people reconnect with nature through the food they eat and the products they use.
