EP #22 Talking Meat & More with Trevor Clatterbuck

For this episode I took the show on the road to Ohio City Provisions, an all-local food store on Cleveland's near west side. Sitting within a few feet of the store's meat counter, with the in-house butchery in view, I spoke to Trevor Clatterbuck, the CWRU student who became a businessman, and then a self-taught farmer.  He oversees Ohio City Provisions,  the Fresh Fork Market farm buying club, and also runs Wholesome Valley Farm, about 75 miles away in Holmes County.  We talk about how all of these entities work together, his interesting relationship with Amish farmers, the real costs of good food. Our conversation also covers sustainable and humane meat production. Please be aware, that this episode discusses "the circle of life" of a farmer who touches every aspect of his animals' lives. It is an episode which illuminates the connection between the food on our plates and its origins and why that matters.
