Go Grassfed - Going grassfed is not just good for you, it's good for the planet, for armers, and for their animals. In the Mid-Atlantic, USA, regenerative land management practices are critical for the health of the region's waterways, which all lead to the Chesapeake Bay. Dairy and beef cattle, sheep, and goats are ruminants that are meant to be grazers - and are healthiest and happiest when they are grazing on lush pastures, not in feed lots.

Featuring: James Beard Award Winning Chef Spike Gjerde.
