Welcome to Our Hen House. This is Marianne Sullivan.

And this is Jasmine Singer. We're really happy you are joining us this week. It has been a very fraught week.

And we're recording this a little earlier in the week, so we don't even know what's happened by the time you're hearing this and but i you know i hope this this podcast will be a little bit of a

respite for you jasmine is a wonderful interview with jim richards he's the founder of the company

that makes one of our favorite milks milkadamia he goes way beyond just talking about milk made out of macadamia nuts, though, because he has very, very strong feelings about palm oil.

He does not like it at all.

And he's very knowledgeable about it and about regenerative agriculture and a lot more things.

So I think you'll enjoy this interview.

You'll also enjoy the bonus segment,

which is available to all flock members. Jim will be joining me for a little up close and personal

I don't know if they're like so much more relaxed or what, but in it, we talk about some fascinating things, including the fact that when he

was like a teenager, he left school and got a job as a butcher and how that just basically set him

on his path to creating alternatives to animal products and sustainable products as like his focus.

And it was a fascinating bonus segment as well.
