Thank you for visiting Native Pantry!  We look forward to serving you and your families for years to come as we scale up our offerings of grass finished products.  We also hope to educate those unfamiliar with our holistic approach to raising animals.  This method centers on the belief that everything is connected to everything else.  To be “whole”istic is to understand that we must resolve the contradictions that exist between nature and raising animals for food.  We must consider the “whole” in every step.  Isolated health is an illusion; we are all a part of this land, this community, this earth and if our methods or buying habits support the desecration of any of these we are hurting all of them.   Our methods offer a pathway back to the whole showing that just as man can destroy, so can we heal.  Let’s leave a place worthy of the next seven generations.

Dr. Zach Bush on Farming, Glyphosate, and Human Health.

Dr. Zach Bush is a triple-board certified physician, with a focus on internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice and palliative care. He currently runs a clinic in rural Virginia that focuses on plant-based nutrition and holistic health. He’s an entrepreneur with a mind-boggling array of projects to his resume. So why is he on a podcast devoted to sustainable and organic agriculture? It’s quite a story, as you’ll hear. At his clinic a few years ago, Dr. Bush began noticing that nutrition-based medicine just wasn’t working as he had expected. Some of his patients were just getting sicker. That led him on a journey deep into a dysfunctional and toxic agricultural system that through the heavy use of chemicals like glyphosate is robbing crops of nutritional value, accelerating the decline of human health, destroying the environment and paving the way for mass extinction. Yeah, it gets pretty bleak — there’s talk of disease, cataclysm and collapse — but stick with it — because Dr. Bush is at heart a radical optimist. He believes that regenerative agriculture can save the world by creating healthy soils that will sequester carbon, reverse climate change, produce highly nutritious food and create healthy humans. To further that mission, Dr. Bush has started Farmers Footprint, a nonprofit that aims to transition 5 million acres to regenerative practices by 2025. According to Dr. Bush, all successful revolutions start with farmers. Listen Below
