The future of food might just depend on the farmer down the road. 🚜
In this episode of Rooted & Restless, I sit down with Kentucky farmer and entrepreneur Jim Gilles to talk modern farming, direct-to-consumer sales, and the growing demand for local food.
Jim shares how his family's century-long Angus cattle operation became Hill View Farms Meats, LLC — and the real time, cost, and hours behind every market table. We also dig into the bigger picture: regional food systems and food security, why agricultural diversification matters, and the steep barriers facing the next generation of farmers, from land access to startup costs. 🚜
A reminder that long-term planning, hard work, and many faces stand behind every meal we eat.
