Relationship, Curiosity & the Meat Industry + Sweet Rolls

Women In Food

On this episode, we talk to Jill Gould of the Butter Meat Co. about being in relationship to our food. Relationship to our food is not just about knowing where it came from, but also the relationships we build around food, how food is intertwined in our relationships (like family recipes), and how it is connected to our relationship with the earth & world around us. As the owner of Butter Meat Co., a business selling dual-purpose beef, Jill is an expert on the cattle industry and takes us through the winding road of the cattle industry. Along the way, we hear her story of growing up in a farming community, her early exposure to cultural food perspectives leading to her first discovery of using a dairy cow for meat which led to her successful business today. We dive deep under the soil to talk about the environmental impacts of the meat/dairy industry (both good and harmful) in terms of soil health, carbon sequestering and climate change.

Jill gives us a sweet glimpse of her relationship with her Grammie and the powerful mentorship of this matrilineal elder in her family. She tells a sweet story about Grammie along with Grammie’s sweet rolls and we learn how this woman’s influence gives Jill the strength to be a woman with a powerful voice in the usually male-dominated meat business.
