AJ Richards is a seasoned expert in agriculture and food supply chain management. He brings a combination of experience and passion to his work, driven by his goal to improve the world. With a background in family ranching in Southern Utah, AJ has a deep appreciation for nature and a commitment to quality. He has devoted himself to exploring the current food supply chain model, recognizing the negative impact of centralized meat processing plants and food logistics on farmers and consumers. To address this, he has established a team to create a SAAS marketplace connecting consumers directly to producers nationwide. By empowering families with control over their food supply, AJ aims to enhance food security and reduce the carbon footprint associated with food imports. AJ's ultimate goal is to bring locally sourced meat, produce, dairy, and eggs to tables across the US while transforming the food supply chain and benefiting the local communities and the environment. With steady growth and your support, we are well on our way to realizing this vision. - AJ and I dive into some of his family’s background in agriculture as homesteaders in southern Utah and his growing up in a small rural community. He gives us a short history of his successes and failures in the industry, lessons learned and where he’s at today. His website, Feed the People by the People, is aiming to connect people all across the country with their local food providers. Not just with their discord group, but with some really cool tech AJ lays out for us in the pod. We’ll run it back, but enjoy this one for now. - ORGANIFI GIVEAWAY Keep those reviews coming in!
