Drs. Ryan and Aaron took the family to check out Zoe Farms. This farm is a good example of how food should be raised - in harmony with natural systems to avoid needing chemicals. While too many farms degrade the land and reduce fertility over time (necessitating chemical fertilizers), Zoe Farms' thoughtful management practices are improving soil fertility and biological abundance. In only four years, it has been transformed from a run-down farm to lush pasture supporting chicken and cattle, as well as forests sustaining pigs and goats. Ponds dot the landscape with plans for healthy natural fish production (unlike most fish farming). Young fruit and nut trees hint at the abundance to come in the farm's future.
The kids enjoyed some time with the farm's chickens who were strutting around the pasture foraging for food on a beautiful sunny day. This leisurely life couldn't be more different than that of most (genetically enhanced) chickens housed in cramped cages with thousands of other birds, eating their scientifically derived feed, and breathing ammonia-filled air from their own waste. Zoe Farms' chickens are the picture of health resulting from their healthy environment and management. And that equates to healthy food for healthy people.
