Interview:

My guest this month is Sky Sharp, the rancher at S&L Superior Grassfed Beef. I recently went out to Sky's ranch and had a look around. He showed me the land that he cares for, the soil he nurtures, and the grass that he tends, so that his cows can be their best. He talked about his love for the animals and his responsibility to give them both the best life and also the most stress free and humane death. Sky also drove home the importance of not only knowing where your food comes from, but the importance of knowing that it was honored in its growth, its harvest, its preparation and its consumption. Litsten in on our talk, and hear how Sky raises grassfed cows as a way of working for a healthier self, community and planet.
