Episode 55 - Wildom Farm: How value-added products and minimizing waste make a difference

In this episode, host Kristina chats with Julie Friend, owner of Wildom Farm in western Maryland. Wildom Farm uses regenerative practices in raising pasture-raised chicken, forest-raised pork, grass-fed beef and lamb, and eggs, as well as lard based moisturizer and sunscreen. Julie talks about her journey into agriculture starting with farmer’s market visits and later moving from Chicago back to family land to start a farm. We also discuss heritage breed selection, minimizing on-farm waste, value-added products, and a new research project she’s excited to start.
