E95 - Pioneering a New Food Model Around Grass-Fed Cows - Hickory Nut Gap Farms (Live Farm Tour Episode) | #95

Hickory Nut Gap is a century-old family farm in Western North Carolina, now run by Jamie and Amy, who shifted the operation toward grass-fed beef, pastured poultry, and regenerative grazing.

This tour looks directly at how they raise animals, manage land, and keep farming viable in the Appalachian mountains.
