In this special ‘Thanksgiving' episode, Frank Reese and Jed Greenberg of Good Shepherd Conservancy are talking turkey. Frank gives an incredibly fascinating in depth run down of the history of the poultry industry, from the incredible men and women that defined standardbred poultry in the 1800's to the rise of industrial poultry in the mid 1900's and how the industrial model really set the tone for other confinement operations with other species. He discusses how he came about preserving biodiversity in a world that favors animal monoculture and genetics in a time where 1 breed of livestock goes extinct each week and just why biodiversity is so important. We also explore the studies that show that standardbred birds can have a lower omega 3:omega 6 ratio based on genetics alone! In the end, we talk about turkey specifically and the mission at Good Shepherd to bring better raised poultry to everyone!We also talk about: Cooking heritage turkeys& so much moreFind Frank + Jed:Instagram: @good_shepherd_conservancyWebsite: https://goodshepherdconservancy.orgOrder Turkeys: If you're in Colorado/local to Denver: https://westerndaughters.square.site/product/heritage-turkey/1100, If you're anywhere else: https://heritagefoods.com/collections/turkey-poultry Resources Mentioned: Chicken People Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran FoerRelated Ground Work Episodes:Building Resilient Communities with Will HarrisDark Matter of Nutrition with Dr. Stephan van VlietMeat is the Medicine with Brett Ender Current Discounts for GW listeners:15% off Farm True ghee and body care products using code: KATEKAV15
This year, avian influenza has caused the deaths of over 40 million birds in the United States, mostly commercial poultry. Those losses show up as higher prices on eggs and meat at the grocery store, but the disease also casts light on the highly industrialized way poultry is produced in this country. The changes needed to reduce the risk of bird flu could also improve animal welfare, environmental protection, and maybe even taste.Have a question you want answered?

The relationship between animals and industry has never been more intertwined than it is today with the pervasiveness of the Agricultural-Industrial Complex. This week’s episode is inspired by the recently released documentary, Eating Animals, which delves into the history of traditional farming practices and the post-WWII shift to the widespread factory farming system. Today, we bring you interviews with the film’s director and one of its breakout stars. His name is Frank Reese, and he’s fighting to keep the old methods of farming alive. We also explore how we’ll be eating animals in the future, and how industry will continue to play a role in our food system. In our world of increasing automation, did you know you can now get your meat from a vending machine? There’s also been a lot of talk lately about the viability of insects as an accessible protein source. Is it a passing trend, or here to stay? Love Meat + Three?

This year for Thanksgiving, Americans will consume 46 million turkeys. Factory farming has never been more 'efficient'. This same year, the US has consumed 9 billion chickens. Worldwide, we managed to eat 50 billion. How does this system function? What makes it so effective and profitable? It all comes down to one word: genetics. Since the 1950s, heritage breeds of poultry, or standard-bred poultry, have been gradually replaced by an army of uniform hybrid birds. Bred to grow as large as possible and as quickly as possible, hybrids are exceptionally profitable for Big Agriculture, and have come to dominate the global poultry industry. In this episode, I talk with Andrew DeCoriolis from Farm Forward and Frank R. Reese Jr., owner of the Good Shepherd Poultry Farm, about the need to preserve heritage breeds. We explore: How animal welfare, the livelihoods of farmers and the environment are best protected when the genetic diversity of these birds is preserved. How free-range, pasture-raised and organic meat movements are counterproductive if we fail to win the battle of genetics. How supporting heritage poultry this Thanksgiving is one of the strongest and most effective ways to boycott factory farming and support sustainable agriculture. Farm Forward is a US-based non-profit that implements innovative strategies to promote conscientious food choices, reduce farmed animal suffering, and advance sustainable agriculture. Farm Forward is helping Frank Reese share his knowledge with the next generation of farmers by launching the Good Shepherd Poultry Institute (GSPI). Frank Reese is a fourth-generation Kansas farmer with more than 60 years of experience breeding and raising heritage poultry. An award-winning master breeder and American Poultry Association (APA) judge, Frank owns and operates one of the few successful heritage poultry farms in America, the Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch, which has garnered praise from Martha Stewart, celebrity chef Mario Batali, the New York Times, and is featured centrally in the documentary film Eating Animals, which recently premiered at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival.

This program was brought to you by Edwards VA Ham. “Practical poultry farming, as it used to be taught at universities, has been completely dismantled – it does not exist anymore.” [25:13] “The bigger picture is to train the leaders for the next generation so that the knowledge that used to be quite common can be brought back again.” [25:50] —Frank Reese on The Main Course
