You heard it here first: there is no difference between organic and non-organic eggs. That's not the only lie in the grocery store, however. Howie debunks Brandon's recent claims about "decreasing prices." Bull! Real Americans can feel their tight wallets. Then, Grace joins Howie to discuss Sam Bankman-Fried's arrest, which he blames on all sorts of things other than his own greed.

Aaron and Lisa also talk about their favorite types of egg dishes, including some dishes you might not have heard of and foods you wouldn't necessarily think to put eggs in.

Youth is wasted on the young, or so they say. This episode explores the way we see the world and the choices we make when we are young. The first story is from Dylan Haigh, the art director for Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs, from the September 2019 show "Breaking All the Rules." We first hear Dylan talk about his many arrests as a teen the final arrest which made him reevaluate the path his life was taking. The episode also features Erin Laplante, of Portland, Maine, who takes us on a hilarious tour of her younger years. Like so many teen girls, she pines for cute boys, yet just can't seem to nail the cool moves. This story was performed at the 2016 show "Past Lives."

Mel Lapp is from Elizabethville, PA and raises organic chickens and crops on his farm. He joins us to talk about how he got his start in the organic poultry business and what he has learned over the years on how to produce high quality eggs. This episode is sponsored by Byron Seeds

Hello. Hello and welcome to a very different vitality feed. today we're going to be discussing Alzheimer's.  My 94 year old father has it and my mom, died of a brain tumor, which runs very similar symptoms. And so this is something that I would just like to make everybody aware of Nobody thinks about eating and their diet as participating in the health of the brain , memory and cognitive function. And I think it's really important that we make people aware.   I'm going to give everybody a little Alzheimer's 1 0 1 and interview my dad as well. So I hope you enjoy this episode. A lot of people think Alzheimer's is something to people 65 plus, and it is not.  Recently  I read, the earliest documented case of Alzheimer's started at age 31 for Becky Barletta and she is from the UK and she became the youngest case of dementia. And she has what they call is that early onset Alzheimer's because she's under 65. There was a study done where they found evidence of beta amyloid plaque or amyloid buildup in the brain of people as young, as 20 years old. So if you're thinking I can eat Oreos, Doritos and fast food, because I'm only 30, I have news for you because they are already finding physical characteristics in people's brains, starting in their twenties. So I hope this wakes some people up to realize it is important to start taking care of yourself, always including people being in their twenties. The study that I'm referring to, about the 20 year olds is research that was done by a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. His conclusion was that "we need to intervene much earlier than we had thought and to try to get rid of that amyloid very early in life." So what are some of the things that you can eat to increase your chances of warding off dementia and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and all those diseases that impede your brain. One of my favorites, and then at the top one in most sites that you can research is omega threes and of course I always list fatty fish. If you're a vegan or vegetarian, you can go with seaweed, hemp, and flax.  Chia seed is also one of my go-to favorites, chia seed is amazing for your hair and your nails if you eat it every day, I guarantee you will see the effects of that. But for the fatty fish, the best ones to eat are, Mackerel, Salmon and Sardines. And then number two on the list is coffee. I'm not a big proponent of coffee just because of the stimulant, but it has to also be clean. Coffee is very high in pesticides and I know Kion Coffee. K I O N is a very good coffee company is one of the purest cleanest coffees in the world.  It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. I make pour over coffee with almond milk, it's pretty yummy. And the third thing is blueberries. I would love to see everybody eat organic . The smaller, the item is that you're consuming, the more surface space it has, which means the higher the pesticide so I prefer organic. And then a fourth is turmeric. I wish I liked this more. I do sprinkle it in my eggs for color cause I do some whites. Um, but if they make turmeric tea, that's another way you can ingest it.Number five is broccoli. I love broccoli. It is awesome with some garlic and red pepper, Saute' it in a pan. And number six is pumpkin seeds. I like to have mine raw and organic. And I sometimes make a trail mix with them... I probably pumpkin seeds every day.And number seven is dark chocolate. Interesting note here. Chocolate is good for you, but it has to be dark. I think it's at least 70%  or higher.  Dark chocolate is also really good in the morning. I know that sounds really crazy, but, and even crazier is dark chocolate in the morning can reduce your insulin levels. How nutty is that? But it is true.When you get up in the morning, have some dark chocolate and Brazil nut. Brazil nuts help you with thyroid in two ways. they're a good source of iron, but they also extremely rich in selenium and actually one nut is all you need for your whole dose of selenium for your day. So in the morning, every day, pretty much about 10 o'clock, I have my Brazil nut and my dark chocolateand speaking of nuts number eight is nuts on the list. Again, I prefer raw and organic because they're small.And number nine is vitamin C. They set an orange in the study that I read, but oranges are not the best source of vitamin C. And actually the part that is the highest in vitamin C is the peel, which I do do a lot of lemon zest, and things like on my salad and in my tea.  Kiwi is also extremely high in vitamin C.Then number 10 is eggs. Eggs have choline in them, which is super good for you and vitamin B's, especially cause I don't eat a lot of meat, I do eat eggs and you have to keep that yolk in there. That fat in there is super good for your brain as are avocados. Another really good fat for brain. Just an awesome thing to do, first thing in the morning as well.3 million us cases per year are diagnosed, that is just staggering and such a sad statistic. Alzheimer's destroys your memory and other important mental functions. The brain cell actual connections, and the cells themselves degenerate and die.  They destroy your memory and a lot of your mental functions.Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms of Alzheimer's and there is no cure. I do believe diet is your answer. And I just wanted to give everybody, some symptoms,  to look out for, to know when your relatives are exhibiting these things that you maybe shouldn't start investigating and seeing what's going on with them. Because a lot of people don't know, we did not know with my Mom, what was going on.Brain health is super important and close to my heart between my mother and my father, both having issues. It's very scary to me.  It is a progressive disease so the first thing is memory loss, which disrupts daily life and it's things like forgetting recently learned information and asking the same questions over and over.Number two challenges in planning or solving problems, difficulty in finding a plan or directions,  and working with numbers if they do a  checkbook, things like that. My mother, if I had looked in her checkbook, it would have been a huge indicator that something was wrong with her brain, but nobody knew.Number three, difficulty completing familiar tasks like grocery shopping or driving to familiar places, or trying to remember the rules of something that they know how to do like a specific game.Number four is confusion with time or place.  They can lose track of dates, seasons, passages of time, sometimes forgetting where they are or where they live and how they got there. My Dad literally asked me this yesterday; Where am I? When am I going home?  Whose house am I in? How did I get here? He asked where my mother was. My mother has been dead for eight years. Which is very troublesome when you think about it and very scary.Number five is trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. These are vision problems that people have, and they can cause bad judgment with balance and judging distance. And sometimes they're unsteady. So it's always good to have a handout and help them.   It also can make reading difficult.Number six is communication issues, new problems with words and speaking, or writing and having trouble following or following along in a conversation.My mother absolutely exhibited these, although she did not have Alzheimer's, she did have a brain tumor. And I find a lot of parallels between these two.Number seven is misplacing things and not able to retrace. Often putting things in unusual places the other night, my father was hiding shells in his pockets and then he will swear he didn't do that. It's pretty interesting how they like to do repetitive action and they will argue with you that they have not done things that they have.They are not able to retrace their steps and then accuse others of stealing. It makes living with somebody who has these symptoms, very challenging and very difficult. It's important not to argue. It's important to accept what is.Number eight is decreased or poor judgment. Maybe with regards to money, cleanliness or grooming. Number nine is withdrawal from work or social activities. A lot of times they become very quiet. They don't want to engage in conversation, and it usually stems from a lack of being able to hold the conversation.And number 10 is a change in mood or in personality, and they become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, and anxious.I hope that helps maybe give some people some ideas of symptoms to look out for. It is such a problematic disease that is running rampant. I do believe that diet and exercise both, can contribute to warding off that tremendously. I really do hope that many of you will consider your daily diet and exercise regimen and changing it and adding the above foods that we discussed and remembering too, that early onset Alzheimer's can start in your thirties.Next is the interview with my dad. I'd purposely left in the long pauses to show the impact of Alzheimer's on communication, as well as the fact that I tried to discuss those familiar family stories that were retold hundreds of times while I was growing up. I'm sure you have your own stories in your family. Here is the interview with myDad.Tell everybody what your name is?William Musso.And how old are you?69 close. Well, most backward. 94 94. Amazing. Right!Do you remember why you grew up?Richmond Hill. That's it! That is absolutely right, in New York. Although he has a Brooklyn accent, we don't know why.What do you think that made in 94? What do you think you did in your life to manage to get all the way to ninety four years? What am I doing? Like what do you think you say? What do you think being a carpenter helps make your life good? Right that physical exercise. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of hard work. Anything else you think made you live so long? Because 94, is pretty impressive. That's pretty cool. Your parents live long ago.Okay.  Good living.What's probably one of your favorite memories?, Maybe with mom or with us kids, maybe remember when we went cross country? My Children. Yeah. What about when we went across the country and all the campers and the trailers? Camping with the family and the children, was nice- I enjoyed that. Yeah. Sometimes it was miserable. I remember it being really hot when we were out west, it was like 120 was really crazy.You remember the time that the bear came in, the campground, you remember that? And we were all banging on the door. My dad was in the bathroom at the back of the trailer. Yeah. You were in the back and we were trying to get into the trailer because we were all scared. Cause I know it was very scary. It's crazy.How did you meet mom? Do you remember? How did you meet mommyat a bar?I i introduced myself and I think we hit it or.And did you ask her out again that nightshe looked up and said, I don't know.Yeah, except when she gets annoyed.But you feel good. Right. But you feel good, right? Walking around on your own, eating on your, all, doing all your stuff.to live up to 94 years old? ?Well, thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate that. And, um, um, you're welcome. Right or wrong.So what you do today matters for tomorrow as well as long term.Invest in you.And remember, "life has no remote get up and change it yourself."

E29 That Great Business Show - Ireland's best business podcast Presented by Conall O Móráin2' Hannah Wrixon had joined That Great Business Show Episode 8 telling us about her plans for her hospitality recruitment platform Get the Shifts. Now she's back explaining why she has sold her 'baby' to one of Ireland's largest recruitment companies, FRS. Having poured blood, sweat and tears into her company, what was it like to sell?? What were the pre-sale chats like (tough!)? Will FRS bring her platform to the rest of the world? What's next for this super-entrepreneur? She asks why would anyone go into services as opposed to software. Hannah's 'hire in a heartbeat'? Michelle Obama. Find out why.22' Is Hacketstown, County Carlow, Ireland's most entrepreneurial town? Another Hacketstown entrepreneur, Paula Butler, co-founder of Butler's Organic Eggs, gave up her administration career in Higher Education to care for 250 organic hens. She's now 'minding' 4,050 hens that produce 3,500 eggs every day, which is great until demand drops (for whatever reason). The hens keep going, so what can you do? How big can an organic egg business grow without losing its soul? What happened when Dubai asked for Irish organic eggs? Who would Paula hire in a heartbeat? Most of County Carlow it seems.55' Emmet Kerrigan, co-founder of Galway based All About Kombucha, is a brother of another TeamGBS alum, Fergus Kerrigan of Ethos CBD, so it seems entrepreneurship is in genes. Hear how his first business started in Vancouver, Canada but thanks to the Canadian visa system he and his co-founder had to head back to Galway where they now are developing a kombucha business. Like so many businesses supplying the hospitality industry Covid caused them to pivot - and they're now shipping Kombuchas kits to customers - but glass fermenting jars don't travel well, so that was just one of the problems to be overcome. Next they're going to ship their kombucha kits to Europe - all from beautiful Galway. Their business has more energy than a small power station. And one of his 'hire in heartbeat' choices - Mother Theresa, as you would!That Great Business Show is proudly sponsored De Facto Shaving Oil www.DeFactoShave.com Hosted on Acast.

The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats Are you afraid of eating fat? Are you what I call, a fat-ophobic?Well if you are, in today’s session, we’re going to learn about “The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats.” Doctors have always taught patients not to eat fat—that was the dogma: low fat is the way to go. However, new research is showing us that we need to be eating good fat and making sure that we’re eating the good carbohydrates.Number 1 mistake: People are not eating the correct fat.Fats you want to be eating:1. Avocado – a mono unsaturated oil2. Fish – (make sure you’re getting it aqua farm - sustainable farmed fish in the form of aqua fish)a. Salmonb. Mackerelc. Sardines· Resource recommendation on aqua farming: Check out TED Talks with Dan Barber and Mike Velings3. Raw Nuts – not salted, not sugared, not chocolate coateda. Cashewb. Almondsc. Walnutsd. Macadamiae. Pecanf. Pine4. Raw Seeds – ideal for smoothiesa. Pumpkinb. Sesamec. Chiad. Hemp seeds5. Oilsa. Extra virgin olive oilb. Extra virgin coconut oil – increases the mitochondria, which burns energy then increases our metabolism and loses our body fat weight· Note: Google fake names for olive oil to avoid6. Grass-Fed Meat, Organic Eggs and Grass-Fed ButterFats you want to AVOID:1. TransfatA transfat is synthetically made in the laboratory and what they do is, they pump in hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen just makes everything nice and stable and they come out as hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils.· Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oilsa. Margarineb. Cakesc. Fried foods like fish and chipsd. Cookies / bickiese. Crackers or savory crackersf. Pastries.2. Vegetable Oil - unstable with high heat and causes free radicals· 2 C’s of vegie oils to avoid:a. Cornb. Canola· 3 S’s of vegie oils to avoid:a. Soy beanb. Safflowerc. SunflowerNumber 2 mistake: People eat sweets with their fat.Include fiber in your diet, especially when you’re eating sugar or fat. Fiber helps absorb the sugar into our blood stream so we don’t have such a spike of our blood sugar.Your fiber is your dark green leafy vegetables. You can have as much of that because not only is that a fiber but that’s also a good carbohydrate.Now I'm going to give you the correct equation when you’re eating fat:Good fat + carbohydrate (limit in amount) + fiberWhat type of carbs should we eat?Starchy carbs you want to keep to a minimum of ½ cup 2x/day:a. Beetsb. Parsnipc. Turnipsd. Pumpkine. Squashf. Sweet potato (kumar)g. Breadh. Grainsi. Ricej. Quinoak. BeansMake sure that you have NO SUGARS in the form of white bread, pastries, crackers and white potato because that’s just HIGH GLUCOSE LOAD as you’re just going to store this fat. So I hope that helps guide you to become fat-ophobic no more!Now let’s go out there and Make a Difference. Love Unconditionally, and Forgive Frequently!Your friend; Dr. Isabel MD ( Izzy) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Many people who purchase organic eggs have no idea that large-scale poultry producers are able to cut corners in ways that don't align with one of the core principles of organic: that "animals are able to exhibit their natural behaviors," says Melissa Hughes, general counsel for Organic Valley. In this episode, we discuss the organic standards and recent circumstances around the Organic Livestock Poultry Practices rule (OLPP), which would have clarified and ensured consistency in organic practices with regard to raising poultry...if it had been allowed to pass.

Jesse Laflamme, CEO of Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs, took over the family business from his parents, Gerry and Carol. He has raised the bar even higher with his with his commitment to small-scale farming, organic foods, humane treatment of animals, and conservation. Jesse and his wife Sandra love having their children help out at the farm in Monroe, NH.In the podcast, Jesse addresses egg labeling confusion and explains the differences between free range, cage free, organic and pasture raised eggs that many consumers are confused by. P&G’s prides themselves on handling their hens in humane ways, and explains how other egg producers can follow their lead and what food labeling regulators can do to stop misleading claims about eggs. Find out more about Jesse Laflamme and his company at www.PeteandGerrys.com

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-338 – Sandra the Organic Runner Mom  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4338.mp3] Link epi4338.mp3 MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/ Hello and welcome to episode 4-338 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  In today’s episode we are going to have a chat with Sandra the Organic Runner Mom.  I met her up at the ES20 and decided to have her on the talk about some of the goings on in the organic farming space she habituates.  It’s a good chat.  In section one talk about how to roll your fitness into a B race when you’re a race goes sideways. In section two I have another piece I wrote for one of my work related blogs when they asked me what my advice to my 22 year old self would be.  Ironically I saw her at the Boston marathon.  She tapped me on the shoulder and said ‘hi’ as she was cruising past me late in the race.  That wasn’t hard to do at the pace I was going at that point! I’m tired.  This time of year is super busy for me – as I’m sure it is for you as well.  I have just rolled out of a 7 –day stretch that include getting my ass kicked at the Boston Marathon, a quick trip to Atlanta on business then pulling off the 25th annual Groton Road Race over the weekend.  I had to drop my little one off at the airport at the crack of dawn Monday morning and get back to my home office for a 3 hours of conference calls starting at 7:00 AM with Europe.  My wife pulled a bit of a fast one on me by announcing Sunday night, after I was already well into my celebratory cups at the race wrap-up cookout, that I’d be taking my daughter to the airport in the morning.  I’ve got this week to catch up on some things and then I’m into 6 weeks of travel and it won’t let up until the middle of June, if ever.  It’s good to be needed.  Yes, as you have guessed, we had a tough day at Boston.  It was a little warm for me, there was a bit of a head wind, but I went for it anyhow and ended up sprinting right into the wall with a classic, textbook, Boston-bonk.  I couldn’t recover and ended up doing the death shuffle in for a 20 minute positive split.  But, as painful as it was I was not terribly disappointed.  I trained very well.  I respected the race. It just won this time, as it has done many times before.  It’s a tough, unforgiving race.  I’ll try to write up a full race report this week. We had awesome weather for Groton.  We had a good year which no major crises.  Great for me to ‘go out on top’.  It really is something when you see how organized we are and how well we pull off an event of that size with a dozen or so volunteer directors.  We got some new members this week for our RunRunLive members only feed where I produce some extra audio content.  Last week, based on member feedback I started working on a series about the podcasts that I listen to.  I don’t know why anyone would want to listen to that, but since they are members they get to tell me what to do! I also worked with one of my virtual assistants to add an annual membership option and that should be working now.  You asked for an annual option, so I got it added. I’m doing this membership option so I don’t have to bug you with commercials, sponsors and ads. Access To Exclusive Members Only audio Member only race reports, essays and other bits just for you!

Become a member I’d like to welcome new members Duane, Cheryl and Bill.   … For the Groton Road Race we set up on Saturday.  We have the party rental stuff delivered and we set up the field with fencing and such.  We pick up the water and the ice.  We do a lot of miscellaneous running around.  We set up the gym and sort through the shirts for registration.  Sunday morning is race day.  I host a 6:00AM run of the course.  This I can keep my streak going.  A trick I learned from Dave McGillivray.  I actual register and pay.  Sometimes I’ll wear my number.  Usually it’s a half dozen or so of the race directors who show up.  We walk over to the starting line say a few words and go run the course.  This weekend it was beautiful.  With the sun just coming up over the hills and meadows of spring time Groton it was stunning.  My friend Brian and I led the pack and just had an easy run of the course.  It’s so peaceful and serene in the crisp morning air.  Then we get changed up and go to work to pull of the race.  I keep my time so I can be entered into the official results.  I stopped my watch at 49:36 for the 10K run.  One of our RunRunLive members Duane came up from PA to run the race and say ‘hi’.  I was checking the results online this morning and his time is posted as… you guessed it… 49:36!  How about that?  Karma.  I am blessed and lucky.

Section one - Running Tips Rolling your Fitness Forward to your B race - http://runrunlive.com/rolling-your-fitness-forward-to-your-b-race Voices of reason – the conversation Sandra LaFlamme – http://organicrunnermom.com/ Meet Organic Runner Mom Hi! I’m Organic Runner Mom! I found running back in high school when I used to run before crew practice. It was common for us to have to run from boathouse row in Philadelphia to “The Three Angels” and back as a warm-up before getting into our shells for the real workout. Someone once called me “gazelle” during one of these runs perhaps because of my ridiculously awkward, skinny long legs but perhaps more so because they could see how freeing running could be for me. I rowed all through high school and college at Colby College in Maine and then met my husband, a rower too at Bates College! I used to be a rower but when my husband and I moved back to New Hampshire so he could join the family business, Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs in 2000 running became my new passion! Being a runner has taken me on a journey of self-discovery and made me a stronger individual both inside and out. As a runner I am inspired and motivated by all of the amazing endurance athletes that I meet. Since I discovered my love for running I have met many new friends and have continued to set new goals for myself. I always have big dreams and love a new challenge. I am now a half marathon runner, marathon runner (2 time Boston Marathon Finisher, soon to be 3 time finisher!), trail runner, and mountain runner. Several injuries (tendonitis and a back injury) have led me to discover triathlons. Most recently I completed my first Half Ironman and the Timberman Ironman 70.3. I love sharing my athletic pursuits with you as well as training tips, nutrition tips, recipes, and lots of motivation. I hope you will join me often on my blog here and that you will share your stories and inspirations too. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. –Rachel Carson Section two Advice to my 22-year-old self - http://runrunlive.com/address-to-my-22-year-old-self Outro That’s it friends, members, we have made it to the end of yet another fully certified organic RunRunLive Podcast.  Thanks for being along for the ride.  Thanks for being a friend.  Next week we’ll chat with John Mangan the Irish ultra runner who ran around the world and he’s now walking around the world.  Interesting dude. I had issued a public service announcement about the RunRunLive podcast feed.  I wasn’t getting updates on my podcruncher app.  I called Libsyn and they said everything was cool but “did you know you have two instances of RunRunLive on iTunes?” Yes, I know – the second one is an older feed that goes through Feedburner that I’ve been telling people to switch off of for a year now.  I could tell you again, but if you’re hearing my voice you figured it out.  I went in and deleted that feed and permanently redirected it – (That sounds painful).  The Duh! Moment for me was when I realized that I was pointing to the wrong feed in iTunes with my PodCruncher app! Doh! You can get the show from iTunes, from the Libsyn feed directly or just download the files from my website. All roads lead to RunRunLive. Except Feedburner. That turns in on itself like a snake eating its tail.  With the marathon over and the road race done - what now?  What am I going to focus on?  I’m thinking about running the Vermont City Marathon on Memorial Day – May 30th.  I hate to let my fitness go to waste.  I felt really strong going into Boston and I think I have a decent performance in me, I just need the right venue.  I’ve been at this for a long time.  I think I’ve found some balance but the tradeoff is that I’m not as manically focused on my running goals anymore.  I just want to feel that joy that we get on those crisp mornings with the sun peaking over the hills and birds chirping.  You know, the peaceful epiphany stuff that I love, out on the trails thinking about stuff and thangs. Closing comments That’s 10 years, or maybe 11 that I was the race director of the Groton road races.  That’s close to 20,000 runners of all ages I helped give an opportunity to get over our courses and across our finish line. To put that in perspective, that’s about how many men Hannibal crossed the Alps with to conquer Rome.  But he also had 40 war elephants.  We don’t have any elephants.  But, still, that’s a generation of runners I had some small impact on.  That’s pretty cool.  I’m a grateful guy.  We had all 25 T-shirts strung up across registration.  That is impressive.  Now you’re talking 2-3 generations of local runners we’ve touched.  We are all very fortunate. Many times we look at these things and we fret over what we could have done.  We wring our hands over the opportunities lost.  We beat ourselves up because we didn’t make some goal or achieve some thing to make our mark higher.  We are a chronically unsatisfied bunch.  It’s really all in the value of the action taken, whatever that action was, the movement that starts a person.  Because each movement has the opportunity to take hold and create compound movement both physical and metaphysical.  That snowball effect is how our small actions can win the world in the balance.  It’s the butterfly’s wingbeat each time we move. So keep moving my friends, and I’ll see you out there.

Government wishes to make eggs safe by preventing chickens from ranging free outdoors. This leads us to ask…

You customers have to know why they are spending money on your product. Just because you know it is awesome, does not necessarily mean that they know it. That is where education based marketing comes into play. Consumers are getting sold to almost 24 hours a day. Selling based marketing is dying. There are so many products out on the market that consumers are looking for more information about the products they buy. That is particularly evident in the food industry. Education around food is not only something that is becoming a necessity, but it also a popular thing to do now as well. With "know your farmer know your food" almost becoming a badge of honor among foodies, it is our job as the farmers to educate those consumers so they have the right information when bragging to their friends. There are so many reasons to share your story, and as a agricultural business marketing and sales should be at the top of the priority list. In this agricultural podcast I talk about the efforts I am making to tell my story, and how educating my customers is paying off for me. I then interview the director of marketing at Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs on the strategies they are using to educate their customers. Right click to download MP3 In this farm podcast you will learn: Listen to your market to determine your marketing message Using social media to connect with your farm customers Making use of user generated content to enhance your farm's online presence Measuring marketing success through consumer activity online Partnering with like-minded companies Survive in business by specializing Being a values-driven company Interview with Karl Johnson of Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs "I'll never work on another egg farm," Karl said when he got out of his high school job. He then finds himself years later working for another egg farm and loving every second of it. If you ever get the chance to meet the folks (and the chickens) at Pete & Gerry's you'd understand why he likes being there. Karl came out of retirement to work at Pete & Gerry's as their director of marketing. 'I am working as hard now as I ever have," hey laughs. When you hear of all the innovative marketing strategies he has implemented including social media to engage customers and measure marketing results, you would never guess that this guy was even close to retirement age. Besides being talented at his job, Karl is an all around great guy. I have had the pleasure of working with him for a number of years as P&G has supported Kate and I through our journeys. He is a great interviewee and a good friend.

This week on the Farm Report we see the return of guest Jesse LaFlamme from Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. Jesse goes in depth about why big agriculture has gone the way it has with sometimes over 600,000 hens being stuffed in cages in a single barn and why he chooses to keep his chickens cage-free and certified humane. Tune in to learn about the life cycle of chickens and their breeding and laying patterns as well as what exactly a pullet egg is. Remember, an egg a day will keep you healthier and happier! This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “Everything is mechanical and down to an exact science [now] . . .it takes out the nuances that farmers usually have in terms of the relationship they have with their animals.” –Jesse LaFlamme on The Farm Report

This week The Farm Report is pleased to welcome Jesse LaFlamme, head of Pete And Gerry’s Organic Eggs, the first Certified Humane egg farm in the country. Pete and Gerry’s is proving commercial farming and organic, humane, sustainable farming are not mutually exclusive. Pete and Gerry’s has realized consistent growth without becoming a factory farm. Jesse recruits small family farms as egg producers, keeping family farmers in business and protecting valuable open space. He combines state-of-the-art husbandry and farming technology with streamlined and efficient processing to make Pete and Gerry’s cost competitive with much larger operations. Those efficiencies also allow him to share those margins with his producers. Jesse is one of the new breed of 21st Century farmers who understands that the world needs commercial farms to feed its inhabitants, but needs to do it without degrading the environment and exploiting livestock. This episode is sponsored The Barterhouse. “[Farmers] just want to be farmers, it sounds basic, but in today’s big agriculture that is hard to do.” -Jesse LaFlamme, head of Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs on The Farm Report
