Mikhayla Fasone: Becoming a Farmer & Why You Should Drink Raw Milk | The Meat Mafia Podcast
Mikayla (Fulper) Fasone is a 5th generation farmer from New Jersey (now Pennsylvania). Last year, she embarked on a journey to start her own farm. She moved away from her family farm in New Jersey (that her brother now runs) and she started a raw dairy farm of her own. Mikayla was inspired by Gabe Brown's book 'Dirt to Soil' to start her own farm using a low-input method of farming. She is one year into her journey and enjoying every step of the way! If you are interested in learning more about why it's important to support your local farmer or the benefits of healthy bacteria from raw milk in your diet!

Holy Cow Beef: Labeling laws have made it challenging to know exactly how your beef was raised. “Grass-fed” does not mean what it used to and since the laws permit for grain-fed beef to still be considered grass-fed, you really need to look for the AGA (American Grassfed Association) label to ensure you’re getting the highest quality beef. Holy Cow Beef, owned by Ann and Weldon Warren, embodies the highest standards of animal husbandry and truly believes in the importance of creating the highest quality product for the end consumer. Check out their website for meat boxes and delivery options!
Wrich Ranches: If you’re in Colorado and want the highest quality grass-fed, grass-finished, regeneratively raised beef in the state, go check out Wrich Ranches. He takes bitcoin (and will give you a hard time if you don’t know what bitcoin is)!
CrowdHealth: CrowdHealth is rewriting the incentives when it comes to healthcare. The business establishes its customer base through monthly contributions, which pay out the healthcare needs of others in the group. Unlike health insurance, CrowdHealth’s business is predicated on crowdfunding, meaning your fellow group members contribute to your healthcare bills as they come due. The monthly fee is less than an insurance plan, and the costs of the healthcare cases are lower since CrowdHealth facilitates paying these healthcare costs in cash instead of insurance (which doctors and hospitals prefer). Your contributions pay for the group’s health care costs as they come up, and it’s up to your discretion on whether you pay out to fund other’s costs.
