It never is. One Bite is Everything explores the people, practices, policies, and power that shape what's on your plate. Through 150+ conversations with farmers, chefs, scientists, historians, and policy thinkers, each episode pulls back the curtain on a food system most of us navigate without really understanding. Real stories, real stakes, no lectures. These conversations don't stop at your headphones. They ripple outward through the For Farmers Movement, a weekly letter, and a community of eaters who are connecting more deeply with the farmers who make their food possible. One Bite is Everything airs every Thursday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T20:19:30.211269+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028"},"episode":{"title":"What Did the Tastiest Pork Have for Dinner?","slug":"what-did-the-tastiest-pork-have-for-dinner","published_at":"2026-03-12T09:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028/what-did-the-tastiest-pork-have-for-dinner","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028","url":"https://www.onebiteiseverything.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/6d4f61d0-56a4-4abd-bbe2-64e0fdf0e22f.mp3","summary":"On Martha’s Vineyard, farmer Jo Douglas is quietly building one of the most creative small-scale food systems in the country. Her farm, Fork to Pork , begins with a problem that defines the modern food system: nearly 40 percent of food produced is never eaten . Instead of letting that food become waste (and greenhouse gas emissions), Jo collects hundreds of gallons of surplus ingredients each day from restaurants, bakeries, hospitals, and dining halls across the island. Those scraps become feed for her pigs. The result is a remarkable loop. Restaurants help feed the animals. The animals grow on real food instead of commodity grain. And the pork returns to those same kitchens, where chefs cook it nose-to-tail. But Jo’s work does not stop with pigs. Through a second operation she calls Leaf to Beef , Jo raises cattle across a patchwork of leased pastureland on the island. Using rotational grazing, she moves her herd through multiple properties, turning underused grasslands into productive ecosystems while producing high-quality grass-fed beef for local customers. In a place where farmland is scarce and land prices can reach millions of dollars, Jo has built a working farm by stitching together parcels of land, community relationships, and creative thinking. In this episode, Dana speaks with Jo about: Why pigs may be one of the most effective recyclers in the food system How restaurants became daily partners in feeding her animals What makes scrap-fed pork taste different The logistics of farming on an island without a slaughterhouse How rotational grazing supports both cattle health and pasture recovery And what it takes to build a viable farm when you don’t own the land you farm The conversation reveals something powerful about agriculture today: some of the most innova…","meta_description":"On Martha’s Vineyard, farmer Jo Douglas is quietly building one of the most creative small-scale food systems in the country.
