Most local food marketing still targets people already buying local food. But thatās not where the real opportunity is. Itās the new local food consumerāonline, convenience-driven, and hungry for trust. We broke it down š š https://t.co/1Nlem0S3GR

Some days I wonder if Iām driven or just irrational. Weāve bet nearly everything on fixing the food system. Is it faith? Or delusion? Full post: https://t.co/nQTTL6QgRy

That dust storm that hit Illinois? Not just weird weather. Modern farming (bare soil, no cover crops, plowing everything) played a big role. And if we donāt change, it could get a lot worse. I wrote about it here: š https://t.co/DWPJRZDxfQ

After bird flu hit our farm, we were featured on CBS, NBC, FOX, WGN, the Tribune, and NBC Nightly News. We just shared the charts + real sales data showing what the coverage actually did. https://t.co/7obAf93EeT

Grateful to Kakadoodle Farm for sharing their story (and a lot of protective gear!) while walking me through the chicken coops where the outbreak happened.

Stray feathers litter the ground inside the empty coop at Kakadoodle Farm. A few beige eggshells crunch underfoot. No hens were left alive.

We raised our GoFundMe goalāreluctantly. Bird flu hit us hard, and now federal funding freezes made it worse. The good news? If we get through 2025, Kakadoodle will be fully self-sustaining. ā¤ļøš https://t.co/jLOW0kYaT0
