On this week's episode of Seasoned to Taste I talk to Jacob from Sweet Grass Dairy about the regenerative agriculture meat and dairy farm he operates with his wife and family.

They were so kind to have me out to their farm, Jacob showed me around the pasture, I met the cows, chickens and pigs as well as a look into their farm market where I got to try their Bourbon Vanilla Gelato which was so delicious. If you are in the greater Columbus or Northeast Central Ohio Area, definitely give them a try for your next grocery run. So many amazing locally grown / produced products.

This episode also includes snippets from a coffee cupping which is like beer or wine tasting for coffee.

This episode was a lot of fun to make and a long time coming. Special thanks to all the baristas you hear in the episode and who make my crazy drinks at CU.

My meal by meal description of the Tastes of Texas from personal experience! At the beginning of the summer I took a trip to visit family in San Antonio Texas and got to see many interesting sights, eat amazing food and spend time with family.
