The wonder and beauty of coffee is a catalyst for countless career coffee professionals and customers alike. The flavors and creation of special moments that draws us in, satisfy some sense of adventure as well as nurtures a need for belonging. On the business side of coffee it can be very easy for those elements to be lost and replaced with conformity, safety, and a sole focus on numbers that sucks the life out of what was once a joyous thing. For today's guest, reanimating the industry with creativity, passion, and the joy of telling stories through drinks has been a 7 year long pursuit that has shifted the minds and hearts of thousands. Ryan is the Founder and Creative Director of Discourse Coffee, one of the world's most innovative coffee shops, and Agency Cocktail Lounge, the nation's first fully hybrid cocktail bar, offering each cocktail both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. He is also the best-selling author of “The New Art of Coffee: From Morning Cup to Caffeine Cocktail” (Rizzoli, 2023), resident mixologist at Fox 6 News, and Creator / Co-Host of the podcast “Hot Coffee for the Creative Soul”. Ryan has served as a brand ambassador for Espro, Barfly, Apothekary, and Free Spirts, and has hosted workshops on drink-making and creative thinking throughout the US, France, and Canada. His drinks have been enjoyed coast to coast, twice featured on the Emmy nominated PBS show “Wisconsin Foodie”, and covered in print in Forbes, Food & Wine, Barista Magazine, Punch Mag, Plate Magazine, Fresh Cup, Daily Coffee News, and many others. In today's episode we are going to talk all about the spark that lit the flame of Ryan's businesses and approach to coffee, the need for baristas to express their craft using coffee, how this sometimes crazy, always fun business works, and what YOU can do to create menu magic for your staff and customers.

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #112, Andy sits down with Stephanie Schneider of Together Farms in Mondovi, Wisconsin, at the edge of the Driftless Area. This diversified farm business sells 100% grass-fed beef and lamb, pastured heritage pork, and meal kits direct-to-consumer, delivering locally and shipping regionally. Together Farms also hosts farm tours and Burger Night onsite. Stephanie and husband Andy purchased the “dilapidated old dairy farm” and small farmhouse in 2009, wanting to raise their daughters in the country and produce their own food. Neither had ag experience, so they had to learn it all—and build most of the infrastructure—as they went. Committed to raising animals 100% on grass, they made mistakes along the way but gained knowledge and experience too. Around 2012, adjacent acreage came up for sale, so the Schneiders seized the fortuitous opportunity, bought the land, and tried to turn farming into a real business. They planned to sell their meats at farmers markets, but when that fell through last minute, they pivoted to online sales—long before most farms were doing it. Figuring out e-commerce was tricky, as neither Stephanie nor Andy had marketing backgrounds either, but they got it dialed in. Then a few years ago, Stephanie was “drowning in lard” and wanted to figure out a way to use it. She also hoped to branch into agritourism. To accomplish both, plus feature Together Farms' grass-fed beef, she came up with Burger Night. The Schneiders didn't have restaurant experience, but folks from farm-to-table restaurants they supplied meat to helped them get it off the ground. After a successful test-run in 2017, bolstered by a feature on Wisconsin Foodie, the Schneiders invested in the infrastructure to host Burger Night every weekend May through October. The event really took off during the height of the pandemic and now draws some 500 people per weekend. Although Stephanie quit her day job two years ago, the family still relies on Andy's off-farm income. He plans to join her full-time within two years, which will help them “get our heads above water from the daily grind,” get a better handle on their businesses, and boost efficiencies across the board. In the meantime, the Schneiders secured loans to construct a building for hay storage and pig housing, plus a multipurpose facility for shipping and receiving and a farm store. They aim to finish both buildings this year. Ultimately, the store will feature Together Farms' meats alongside other local producers' goods. Smartly, the Schneiders have incorporated their multiple enterprises as separate businesses. And while Stephanie says they still have a lot to learn about finances, they've done a good job of keeping expenses in line with cash flow, receiving help from FSA, EIDL money, and Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin grants. Once the new buildings are complete and Andy becomes full-time, they'll streamline operations further and hopefully drive more revenue.
Tarik was asked to be a guest chef on Wisconsin Foodie for a special pledge drive, very special burgers hit Zocalo Food Truck Park, and a Latin gastro pub to hit Bayview soon.

Stephanie raises cattle, hogs and sheep on pasture and hosts terrific Burger Nights at Together Farms in May thru October Thursdays through Saturdays. Their motto is "We’re All In This Together.” They recently diversified into meal kits. COVID was a challenge. They have six campsites. They win a lot of food awards, and they were even featured on Wisconsin Foodie in 2018! https://togetherfarms.com/awards In their first year of farming, Stephanie and her husband Andy faced extreme weather problems. So they learned about permaculture—a type of farming that works with nature and creates a resilient farm that can withstand weather extremes much more gracefully. “Most Wisconsin farms are designed, for example, to get rid of excess water,” she explains. “Our farm is being set up to capture every drop of water we receive. Without water it doesn’t really matter what perfect balance of nutrients you have, so to us, on our sandy soils, water is our most precious resource, we would be fools to watch it go flowing off to the Mississippi.” While they work on capturing all of their water via networks of ponds, berms, and swales, they are also planting the perennial crops that want to grow on their land already—including wild hazelnuts, elderberries, mulberries, apples and plums. Rows and rows of this food forest could be harvested and sold to the public but until full-time farming becomes a reality, they can let the animals do the harvesting and not be reliant on outside feed sources.

Passion is the heart of nearly every conversation we entertain on the FoodCrush podcast. But few guests come to the proverbial table with a more passionate stance than Chef Luke Zahm, co-owner of Driftless Cafe in Viroqua, Wisconsin and host of “Wisconsin Foodie.”From his upbringing in a small town in Vernon County, Wisconsin to the series of events that inspired him to open Driftless Cafe, Zahm shares not only his story but his fervor for the agricultural roots that make the State of Wisconsin an epicenter for food-based industry. Along the way, he shares stories of his development as a local food champion, the inspiration he gleaned from hometown heroes like Butch Vig, producer of the diamond-selling Nirvana album “Nevermind” and his reluctant path to hosting the Emmy Award winning television show. If that weren’t enough, you’ll hear Zahm share both his hopes and optimism for the Dairy State on its journey to recovering from the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The way Milwaukee—and Wisconsin as a whole—prepares and appreciates food has evolved in countless ways over the last decade. Few (if any) people have had a closer, better, or higher resolution view of the state's all-encompassing culinary growth and improvement than Arthur Ircink. As owner, executive producer, and director of Wisconsin Foodie, Ircink has been instrumental in documenting much of that dining development over the course of 10 seasons of his Emmy-winning TV series. Along the way, he became co-owner, publisher, and editor in chief of Edible Milwaukee, which gives his ardent food appreciation another platform to be displayed. With an 11th season of Wisconsin Foodie on the way, a new issue of Edible Milwaukee set to be released this week, and local dining showing no signs of slowing down, Ircink has no shortage of work ahead of him. However, he took some time out of his schedule to welcome host Tyler Maas into his production office to have a beer and talk about just some of the astounding things going on in Milwaukee cuisine. Ircink talked about his foray into a life in food, how the term "foodie" has changed since starting the program, some standout local chefs and restaurants, where both Milwaukee and Wisconsin dining are headed, and his love of gas station Mexican food. This episode is brought to you by Bofferding—Milwaukee's new favorite import—and Surly Brewing, a Minnesota-based brewery and the official beer of On The Record. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Piles ("Blue Glue") and Paper Holland ("Milpool").

Trend On Jessica Bell with Tamara Leigh and Heidi Feemster. Four years after starting her small, local wine school, Jessica Bell, is more excited than ever about the prospects of wine education with the evolution of her business to My Wine School. In 2000, Jessica graduated from Duke University with a degree in Economics and Spanish and went on to work for Goldman Sachs in New York City. After 3 years in New York, she decided to give the other half of her degree some use, and moved to Spain. She found work at a winery and found her true calling. Upon returning stateside, Jessica began her formal wine studies with several New York-based wine and spirit education programs. She now holds the Diploma in Wine & Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and a Viticulture and Vinification Certificate from the American Sommelier Association. She is an accredited Spanish Wine Educator and French Wine Educator. Jessica has been invited to many French regions, funded by each respective region, to learn first-hand about the region and be certified by their respective wine boards. Jessica also has experience as a Sommelier at The Modern Restaurant in New York City and with a boutique importer for whom she sourced Spanish wines. In recent years, she has travelled to several wine-making regions from Champagne to Sherry, Maipo to Mendoza, Santa Barbara to Sonoma and most everything in between. Jessica is a co-host on the emmy-nominated television program Wisconsin Foodie, a host on Time Warner On Demand Wine Tips, and a regular contributor to the podcast "Life Between the Vines".
