Most local food marketing still targets people already buying local food. But that’s not where the real opportunity is. It’s the new local food consumer—online, convenience-driven, and hungry for trust. We broke it down šŸ‘‰ šŸ”— https://t.co/1Nlem0S3GR

Some days I wonder if I’m driven or just irrational. We’ve bet nearly everything on fixing the food system. Is it faith? Or delusion? Full post: https://t.co/nQTTL6QgRy

Is chemical-free just a feel-good label—or does it really matter? 🌿 We broke it down: what’s really in our food, what’s ā€œsafe,ā€ and if it matters. https://t.co/RFSczfPvuM

Why is it so hard to find local food? The Chicago Tribune highlights two models trying to fix that. But misses a third. One that could change everything. Our response → https://t.co/3U3GPv3Eyp Original → https://t.co/fI3vTMofIk #localfood #regenerativefarming #kakadoodle

As a major egg producer shutters facilities, questions loom over supply chain resilience and the future of food security.

We were in the NYT yesterday — hazmat suit, empty coop, bird flu aftermath. But the story didn't mention Kakadoodle. Here's why... https://t.co/wGJsbDV1rc

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 don’t change, it could get a lot worse. I wrote about it here: šŸ‘‰ 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

Our @NBCNightlyNews segment aired last night. Not sure where this leads, but we’ll keep showing up—pushing for smaller farms, chemical-free food, and a food system that supports health. https://t.co/Kwi2MXVw6j

Why am I wearing this ungodly amount of PPE? Because I wanted to understand — up close — what it is like when bird flu wipes out your entire chicken farm.

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 goal—reluctantly. 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¤ļøšŸ™ https://t.co/jLOW0kYaT0

The news came weeks after owners MariKate and Marty Thomas lost 3,000 chickens to the avian flu in January.
