Where Food Comes From, Inc.’s Post

I hear it's quite tasty actually, so much so that when I worked at the Maryland Watermen's Association I learned that it was popularly called "Pork of the Potomac"! From the article: "Maryland's plan to rebrand the invasive Snakehead Fish Would you eat something called a Snakehead? It’s an invasive fish the state of Maryland desperately wants people to eat, so it's getting a re-brand thanks to new Maryland legislation." #mediapsychology #innovation #branding #marketingandadvertising #invasivespecies #seafood https://lnkd.in/e3ig28SK

You asked for a fish spoilage timelapse, we've done it! Watch this salmon spoil over 7 days 🐟. In most cases, fish is still good to eat after the printed expiration date. Do you eat fish after the Use by date? #foodwaste #sustainability

Nature’s pest control 🦉 Grapes are delicious, and we’re not the only ones who think so. So how do winegrowers stop various insects and animals from eating their crop, using sustainable methods? Through integrated pest management, California winegrowers are looking to ecosystem-based methods, such as introducing natural predators and deterrents to keep critters at bay. 💡 Aided by its keen sense of sight and swift flight, a family of barn owls can consume up to 3,500 rodents per year! 📷 Frey Vineyards Winery • #CaliforniaWines #WinesOnAMission

Yesterday was absolutely incredible! We spent the day at Ian and Di Haggerty stunning property, Prospect Pastoral. It was such a treat to have the talented teams from the restaurants Nieuw Ruin, Edward & Idas, and Miller & Baker join us. Together, we toured the farm and delved into the magic of Natural Intelligence Farming™️. There’s something truly powerful about bringing chefs and bakers directly to the source, allowing them to witness firsthand where their ingredients originate. It’s all about shortening the distance from paddock to plate and fostering a deeper connection to the food we create and enjoy. #naturalintelligencefarming #naturalintelligencefarmingproduce #paddocktoplate #farmfresh #hospitality #walocal #walocalproduce #sustainableproduce #regenerativeproduce #regenproduce

Turning Beef into a Story In the beef industry, it’s not just about raising cattle—it’s about sharing the journey. Storytelling has become an art that allows consumers to connect deeply with each step, from ranch to plate. 🥩 When we tell the story of where beef comes from, we’re building transparency, trust, and appreciation for sustainable practices. Each ranch, each animal, and each cut of beef has a journey to share. Let’s make the beef industry’s story one that people remember, respect, and savor. #BeefIndustry #Storytelling #Sustainability #FarmToTable

It's been a hectic first season of Thanksgiving turkey orders! We will have limited turkeys this year because a bobcat killed most of the smaller turkeys at Richardson Farms last weekend. This is a rough emotional and financial hit for the Richardson family, and we are doing what we can to support them. Farmers deal with tragedies like this every season, whether it’s livestock lost to predators, produce shocked by an early freeze, or prolonged drought. Especially in Central Texas, farming and ranching is not easy. For better and worse, large grocery stores with global supply chains shield customers from local disruptions due to weather, predators, or just a bad crop. Limited strawberries from California this season? No worries, buy more from Mexico. Worried about losing turkeys to predators? Raise them in a warehouse instead of on pasture. These decisions lead to a more secure food system, but they disconnect consumers from the repercussions of their local ecosystem.  At Radius we can’t (or won’t) buy turkeys from Arkansas, broccoli from California, or blueberries from Chile if our local farmers have disruptions. This means as Central Texas consumers, we will feel the pain of drought along with local farmers. We will feel the pain of predation. All to a lesser extent of course than farmers stewarding their land and animals every day, but this connection between consumer and the local ecosystem is important — even if it is painful at times. Specifically for the bobcat tragedy at Richardson Farms, it means we will have fewer than expected 14 - 18lb turkeys (still enough to fulfill already placed orders), and that the wonderful Platt family from Behind the Oaks stepped in to sell turkeys to Radius at the last minute (usually orders are placed 6 months in advance). If you can’t get the perfect sized turkey for Thanksgiving this year, it’s because of a bobcat. You could buy an ideal turkey size from Whole Foods instead, but if you do that you won’t have a bobcat story to tell guests to explain why you served a 24lb bird. Buy local; the stories are better. Support the chaos of a local food system by pre-ordering your Thanksgiving essentials from Radius. We have local pasture-raised turkeys from Richardson Farms (less than expected) and Behind the Oaks, and scratch-made pies from Texas French Bread, Baked from Scratch ATX, and Pie Jacked.  The last day to order will be November 21st, and pick-ups are at Radius at 1912 E 7th St from Saturday, Nov 23rd to Wednesday, Nov 27th.

So special to be able to bring chefs, restauranters and bakers on farm to bring the paddock closer to the plate! A group of likeminded people who all have a passion for bringing the most optimum nutrient dense and diverse produce to the public! #naturalintelligencefarming #naturalintelligencefarmingproduce #paddocktoplate #farmfresh #hospitality #walocal #walocalproduce #sustainableproduce #regenerativeproduce #regenproduce
