Listen "Ep. 90: The Farm to Table Movement (with Chef Ariane Daguin)"
Episode Synopsis
Farm to Table — sounds obvious, right? But how did something so seemingly simple become such a radical act? In this week's episode, Nethra and Cecilia unpack the history, philosophy, and misconceptions surrounding the farm-to-table movement — from its roots in counterculture to its current role in shaping sustainable food systems. They explore how industrial agriculture and globalized supply chains have created a deep disconnect between eaters and the land, and why "local" isn't just a buzzword, but a call to reimagine what food can be. This episode also features a special interview with Ariane Daguin, a trailblazer in ethical sourcing and sustainable farming. As the founder of D'Artagnan, Ariane revolutionized the U.S. food industry by introducing organic, free-range, and humanely raised meats to the mainstream market. Her influence laid critical groundwork for today's farm-to-table movement. Now, through her latest venture AOOA Farm, she's championing regenerative agriculture and mentoring the next generation of farmers and chefs with the same passion and purpose. Whether you're a foodie, a farmer, or just curious about where your dinner really comes from, this episode is a must-listen.
