Today on Breaking with Brett Jensen, Bill McGinty is in once again for the travelling Brett Jensen!
Bill is joined by Keia Mastrianni and Jamie Swofford, owners of Old North Farm in Cleveland County. Bill talks about Jamie’s familial connection to the land their farm is on and Keia talks about the Milk Glass Pie bakery they also began.
We have a conversation about the pros and cons of organic farming as well as why organic products are more expensive than non-organic.
They address some of the misconceptions about what it takes to produce quality food + share some tips about how amateur farmers/gardeners can find more success with their own plants.
Bill and Co. also dive into the topic of sanitation ratings in the food industry, including the stresses of inspection day from the establishments perspective and how being on the restaurant’s side of things informs them when they decide to eat out themselves.
Finally we talk about ways to get the biggest bang for you buck when it comes to dining out, tipping culture and where you can catch up with Keia and Jamie.
