Sam Ingersoll, Marketing Director, Kalona SuperNaturalOur guest today “works with a group of cows to save the planet…and people's health.” Sam Ingersoll is the Marketing Director for Kalona SuperNatural, an organic dairy brand that sources milk from regenerative, small family farms. A consumer advocate and educator at heart, Sam has morphed his “sociology” degree from Yale University into a focus on “Soil Sociology” and speaks with audiences from farmers to influencers about food and farming that produces nutrient dense food while restoring ecosystems. I grew up dirt poor in the mountains of Washington state and the corn fields of Illinois. Fled that for an Ivy League school and spent 12 years running nonprofit affordable housing, economic, and family services programs and organizations. I was set to appear on The Apprentice but bailed out because we adopted a drug baby. During the next 12 I explored the wild depths of the internet becoming a business consultant to companies (real estate, financial services, CBD) and celebrities. In the stress of life I became a soda and fast food junkie, and now in my old age have reformed my ways and returned to my roots helping farmers and eating regeneratively sourced, organic meat and dairy.Kalona SuperNaturalKalona SuperNatural is an organic dairy brand founded in 2004 by a group of Amish farmers that were struggling to survive in the global technology based economy. Over the last 20 years, the brand has stuck to its roots of sourcing milk from small family farms and minimal processing. From new moms to award winning chefs like Rick Bayless, customers appreciate how Kalona SuperNatural milk is “pasteurized at the lowest temperature allowed by law” and “non-homogenized which allows the cream to rise naturally to the top.”  Its recent rapid growth has been powered by a new movement of consumers who are focused on “what they eat” as the key to their physical and mental health. Kalona SuperNatural now offers 17 minimally-processed dairy products sold in natural food stores across the country.In today's episode you will hear references to; The Savory Institue https://savory.global& Kalona Supernatural Request Form https://kalonasupernatural.com/consumer-store-request/If you've enjoyed these episodes, please leave give this a thumbs up and subscribe to help support the cause of living well with intention! I appreciate you listening!
