Welcome to Episode 72 of The Spokesman Speaks podcast. In this episode, we introduce you to ChopLocal – an online marketplace for farmers and butcherers that has dubbed itself "the Etsy of meat." Hear how ChopLocal co-founders Jared Achen and Katie Olthoff started their business in response to COVID-19 disruptions and an ongoing farm-to-table renaissance.  We also chat with Demi Johnson, a behavioral health program coordinator for Iowa State Extension, about ways to identify and appropriately react to signs of worrisome stress in our friends and family members.
