One Bite is Everything
We talk about food like it's just dinner. It never is.
One Bite is Everything explores the people, practices, policies, and power that shape what's on your plate. Through 150+ conversations with farmers, chefs, scientists, historians, and policy thinkers, each episode pulls back the curtain on a food system most of us navigate without really understanding. Real stories, real stakes, no lectures.
These conversations don't stop at your headphones. They ripple outward through the For Farmers Movement, a weekly letter, and a community of eaters who are connecting more deeply with the farmers who make their food possible.
One Bite is Everything airs every Thursday.

A Regenerative Playbook: Remembering What’s Been Forgotten

I went back into some of the conversations I've had here and found three guests who said the same thing in completely different ways. Rick Clark is a fifth-generation farmer in Indiana. Adam Alexander is a seed collector in Wales, known as the Seed Detective. Chef Sean Sherman is an Oglala Lakota chef in Minneapolis. All three believe that the future of food depends on rememberi

What Farmers Really Mean to the People Who Know Them
What does a farmer mean to a community? Ask the people who nominate them, and you'll hear about far more than food. You'll hear about the neighbor who lends a transplanter, the farmer who rebuilds after losing everything, the one who teaches kids where food comes from, and the one who holds a whole farmers market together. This episode began with a question. After I spoke at a conference in Massachusetts with Farming Falmouth, someone in the audience asked how more people could hear the stories

The Loneliness Between Us: What Farmers and Eaters Are Both Missing
The Loneliness Between Us From your plate to the rest of the world, One Bite Is Everything connects the food you eat to the people, policies, and stories behind it.

Through the For Farmers Movement, we have seen and heard about loneliness and isolation. In fact, it's at the heart of why the Movement started. This is an episode about two kinds of lo

Rebel or Just Paying Attention? Farmer Scott Park Questions Everything
What happens when a farmer stops doing things the way they've always been done and starts asking whether there's a better way? Scott Park began farming in California in 1974 with a degree in political theory, almost no agricultural training, and plenty to learn. More than five decades later, he's built a large-scale farming operation by questioning conventional wisdom, experimenting, paying attention, and learning to work with nature rather than against it. His new book, Growing Rogue: The Adv
