Here's the beef (on beef)

About this episode

The episode discusses sustainable cattle farming practices and the nutritional differences of meat raised locally compared to supermarket options.

This week on At the Iowa Farm Table, learn more about how and where your food is raised! Beth Hoffman and Amanda Severson chat about their cattle businesses and how they raise meat differently than what you typically buy in the supermarket. They discuss current political trends and how the nutrition of the meat they raise differs from cattle raised on corn. You can learn more about Amanda Severson and her family at https://www.grandviewbeef.com/ and on instagram @grandviewbeef Beth Hoffman runs Whippoorwill Creek Farm with her husband—find them at iowa-farm.com and @whippoorwill_creek_farm on Instagram.
