We are more disconnected from our food than we ever have been. I sit down with ranchers and farmers to give them a voice and hear their stories, helping paint a picture of what it really looks like to support humanity with food. I also will be talking to others involved in the agriculture space as there is a lot that goes into it all. My hope is that from hearing this podcast you will begin to question what you eat and where from.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T22:18:01.640689+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188"},"episode":{"title":"Inside a 1,200-Acre Regenerative Operation (Live Farm Tour) - Rucker Farm | #103","slug":"inside-a-1-200-acre-regenerative-operation-live-farm-tour-rucker-farm-103","published_at":"2026-01-21T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188/inside-a-1-200-acre-regenerative-operation-live-farm-tour-rucker-farm-103","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-regenaissance-podcast-6720188","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/eac3971d","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/eac3971d/9b7026ae.mp3","summary":"In this episode, we tour through Rucker Farm with Garrett Heydt to see how a large, leased regenerative operation actually works; covering hay, turkeys, water systems, minerals, and grazing decisions that shape animal health and land outcomes over time.
