In the first episode of Season 5, we get to talk with Brent and Kira Olsen of Olsen Farms and Smokey Ridge Meats. Olsen Farms is a small family farm located in a mountain valley in Northeastern Washington, just north of Colville. They produce high quality meats from their sustainably raised farm animals. All of their beef, pork and lamb is processed at Smokey Ridge Meats, our own USDA facility in Chewelah, WA. They also grow over 20 varieties of potatoes of various colors, textures, and culinary uses.

In episode 2 of Season 5, we get to visit with Shadow of Ramstead Ranch located in Ione, WA to hear about their regenerative practices and relationships with their customers. Ramstead strives to create a pasture-based ecosystem that works with nature and honors its abundance. They raise Grassfed/Grassfinished beef and lamb, pasture-raised Berkshire pork, and pasture-raised poultry including meat chickens and turkeys and deliver direct to their customers in the Pacific Northwest via a growing number of pickup locations.
