Host Andy Chapman said, “One of my favorite things David said was ‘farming as a lifestyle makes a bad business, but farming as a business can make a great lifestyle.’ I love that because if you can’t stay in business, you lose the lifestyle... and if you have a great business of any type, I believe you can craft a lifestyle around that.

47 - Around the Farm with New York Beef Producers & Chef Chris McDade

On this episode, we’re touring Doug Giles’ Walbridge Farm in Millbrook, New York with Chef Chris McDade and his family. Doug is a multi-generation farmer who raised his boys on the farm. We learned about how his decision to come work for an 80-year-old farmer turned him into a farm owner over a decade ago. He shared his journey showing and raising registered Angus breed cattle. It was fascinating to hear how he decided to start growing out his own beef. You see, when you are a “cow calf” operation seeking to develop the very best genetics - like Doug is - “you don’t know how good you are, or if the decisions you are making are working.” This revelation led him to grow out his own steers and start a farm store to sell what he harvested to consumers and restaurant owners, so he could improve his genetics to be the best they could be. In this episode you’ll learn:  What is Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) and why does it matter to everyone?  Why can we be confident in the safety of our beef supply from farm to table?  What keeps this farmer going in the beef industry?  What farmers feed their families.  Why do genetics matter to animal welfare and your plate How chefs and farmers can work together better The Lightning Round Show Sponsor:New York Beef Councilwww.nybeef.org@newyorkbeefcouncil on Instagram Connect with our Guests: Walbridge Farm on Facebook Chef Chris McDade’s Restaurant, Popina in Brooklyn, NY Chef Chris McDade on Instagram Connect with EATYALL:  https://eatyall.com/https://findfamilyfarms.com/ Instagram - https://instagram.com/letseatyall Facebook - https://facebook.com/letseatyall Twitter - https://twitter.com/letseatyall LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/letseatyall The EATYALL Podcast is hosted by Andy Chapman, CEO and founder of EATYALL.

46 - New York Beef Tour at Walbridge Farm with Chef Chris McDade

In Episode 45 of the EATYALL Podcast, we’re kicking off our 8 show BEEF SERIES with a trip to Thunder View Farms in the Catskill region of New York. We’d never explored New York agriculture up close and personal beyond a trip to the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan. That all changed this summer when we crossed the Hudson River one foggy morning and drove up the Catskills to visit with father and son, Richard and Ric Coombs, along with their families at Thunder View Farms. This tour gave us a fresh perspective into how well farming can coexist with one of the largest cities in the world. Seeing is believing, and this multi-generational family farm operation is doing tremendous work to make sure their thriving environment continues to benefit generations to come -- all while producing some of the best beef we’ve ever tasted. Chef Chris McDade, owner and chef at Popina in Brooklyn, NY joined us for our tour, along with his wife Natalie and son, Gus. We all learned to think more about where our water comes from, to appreciate the care that goes into our water quality and to recognize how critical clean water is to our lives. Thanks to the leadership of the Coombs family, beef farmers in the New York City Watershed have improved water quality for New Yorkers such that New York City has some of the best water quality in the world. In this episode, you’ll learn about:  Water conservation and water quality  How water goes from this farm to the New York City water supply in under 48 hours -- exclusively using gravity to move it!  How beef farming and environmental improvements can co-exist How chefs and farmers can work together better.  The ever-popular Lightning Round Show Sponsor: New York Beef Councilwww.nybeef.org@newyorkbeefcouncil on Instagram Connect with our Guests:  http://www.thunderviewfarms.com/ Thunder View Farms on Instagram Chef Chris McDade’s Restaurant, Popina in Brooklyn, NY Chef Chris McDade on Instagram Connect with EATYALL:  https://eatyall.com/ https://findfamilyfarms.com/  Instagram - https://instagram.com/letseatyall  Facebook - https://facebook.com/letseatyall  Twitter - https://twitter.com/letseatyall  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/letseatyall The EATYALL Podcast is hosted by Andy Chapman, CEO and founder of EATYALL.

43 - Chef Austin Sumrall with Oyster Farmer Anita Arguelles: Keeping Your Menu Fresh

Chef Kisha Moore, owner and pastry chef at Hummingbird Macarons in Norfolk, Virginia, was the first chef to visit the new EATYALL House in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. During her visit, we had some fantastic adventures, but we didn’t get a podcast recorded while she was visiting. Never fear, we caught up with Kisha once she was safely back in Virginia for an incredible interview. Building on my previous interview with Kisha in Episode 31, I asked Kisha about working on your business, not just in your business, and she had a LOT of wisdom and a very interesting approach to share about developing employees that will benefit all of our listeners who want to be more than just an “operator” of a business. We also discuss the idea that “I can make it taste just as [good] as with a cheaper ingredient.” Kisha says, “I know that I would not do anything less than” because she wants to provide the best experience for her customers - and every detail matters, including top-quality ingredients. Kisha recaps her time with us at the EATYALL House where she enjoyed some rest and relaxation as well as time doing recipe development and taste testing of new ingredients.

Our visit unfurls a lot of pecan specific stories about why these Georgia grown nuts are so flavorful and sold at such a premium - “all nuts are not created equal.” We also hear from Samantha about what sampling chefs can look like and why it’s important, even during a pandemic because “taste buds don’t lie.” She also talks about an international visit where she learned that some chefs around the world aren’t versed on pecans and how they initially confused them with other nuts.  Later in the episode we hear about feedback Samantha got from her producers after their EATYALL Chef Care Package was distributed to pastry chefs, and you’ll get to hear which question in the Lightning Round was answered, “throwing a burrito!”  Connect with our Guest:  GeorgiaPecan.org  https://instagram.com/georgiapecangrowers  https://facebook.com/GeorgiaPecanGrowersAssociation/    Show Sponsor:  EATYALL Chef Care Package Program   Connect with EATYALL:  https://eatyall.com/  https://findfamilyfarms.com/  Instagram - https://instagram.com/letseatyall  Facebook - https://facebook.com/letseatyall  Twitter - https://twitter.com/letseatyall  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/letseatyall  The EATYALL Podcast is hosted by Andy Chapman, CEO and founder of EATYALL.
