Clint from FAFO Farms shares how he started regenerative farming a little over a year ago using the Joel Salatin method, by rotationally grazing cows, chickens, and goats. They have a farmshare, providing raw milk to their members.

We talk about how he inadvertently became the latest front in the War on Food, with people from Austin reporting him to the Health Dept for selling raw milk (although farmshares are perfectly legal in TX).

We also talk about raw milk and Clint's success with the carnivore diet.
