organic eggs

Aaron Zober returns with a new cycle of The Appropriate Omnivore podcast for the summer season. His first guest back well represents the idea of being an appropriate omnivore. Jasen Urena is vice president of NestFresh Eggs and New Barn Organics. Jasen explains how you should never take the position that any one segment of food is bad. So Jasen offers healthy animal products with the regenerative New Barn eggs and the pasture raised NestFresh eggs and healthy plant based products with New Barn's almond and coconut milks. Jasen and Aaron talk about the importance of sourcing sustainable and regenerative almonds and coconuts as well as keeping the ingredients simple in plant based milks.

For his latest podcast, Aaron Zober welcomes Lisa Steele to The Appropriate Omnivore. Lisa is a fifth-generation chicken keeper and runs the blog Fresh Eggs Daily. She’s also the author of the recently released “The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook”. Aaron and Lisa discuss everything people should know about eggs: why they're good for you, what labels to look for when buying, what shell and yolk colors mean, and why you should raise backyard hens. Aaron and Lisa also talk about their favorite types of egg dishes, including some dishes you might not have heard of and foods you wouldn't necessarily think to put eggs in.

One of Aaron’s favorite foods has always been eggs. Like all foods, Aaron looks for the most sustainable. He brings on Ryan Miller, co-owner and president of Farmers Hen House, which is one of Aaron’s favorite pasture raised eggs. Farmers Hen House is sustainable in many ways from its eggs being organic and pasture raised to the solar power on the farms to even its compostable cartons. Another amazing feature of Farmers Hen House is its QR codes on the cartons, which uses a blockchain technology to trace where the eggs came from. Plus Ryan lets the listeners know all about the different certifications Farmers Hen House and what we can expect from them in the future.
