Choosing Food Transparency + Perfectly Roasted Chicken

Women In Food

In this week's episode, I talk to regenerative farmer, wife, foodie and mom to five kids, Paige Jackson, who I first 'met' online when she posted about her Romertopf clay baker (you can hear the whole story in the interview!). We talk about how her quest to have more transparency in food after experiencing some health complications led her and her husband on the path to starting their own farm and eventually raising their kids participating in farm life. Learn some of Paige's secrets to including kids as a part of the farm business equation and how she supports her kids' individual interests. Paige teaches us about regenerative pasture-raised livestock and why that choice allows their farm business to uphold their values. Along the way, we touch on so many topics including growing up as one of 14 siblings, her mom's big dinner table, different kinds of milks and digestibility, capitalism and food and how their business Grass Grazed started with a few chickens in their yard to become the thriving enterprise it is today. My favorite quote is: "Farmers are Foodies, too" which sums up Paige's passion for food — raising it, cooking it and sharing with community all of which is expressed in her Roasted Chicken Recipe.
