REV On Air: The Cultural Context of Regenerative Agriculture with Tia and Matthew Raiford
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x Farmer’s Footprint Regenerative Podcast Series!
In the eleventh episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to husband and wife duo, Matthew and Tia Raiford of Gilliard Farms and Strong Roots 9. Tia and Matthew share their special stories of how they came to meet along each of their journeys into regenerative farming and how regeneration brings them and everyone around them together. Tia and Matthew speak of the ancestral connection both of them have to running farms and their mission to pass on this wisdom to generations far and wide to come.
This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at Toups & Co!
“That connection, not just to the farm but to the person, the soil, the actions, the intent, the vision, it all comes through the plate, it all ends up on the plate. All those things end up creating an experience whether it’s at a college, a high school, a Michelin star restaurant or a sporting event. It all comes through the food and the ability to connect with not just ‘this was farm sourced’ like Matthew said – everything is sourced from some kind of farm. There are so many different variables as to what a farm is, that we’re taking the conversation beyond just being a marketing term.”
Tia Raiford on the ‘Farm to Table’ concept.
