In an era of industrial agriculture and mass-produced food, small dairy farms are disappearing at an alarming rate. As large-scale operations dominate the market, many consumers are left disconnected from where their food comes from and how it is produced. In this episode of NTI PodTalk, Dianne sits down with Joe Miller, Managing Partner and Sales Director of Kalona Supernatural, to explore how regenerative agriculture is helping support America’s small family dairy farms and why it matters for human health, soil health, and the future of real, nutrient dense food. Beyond regenerative farming, Joe explains why Kalona avoids ultra-high-temperature pasteurization and homogenization, and how their processing methods protect milk’s natural structure, enzymes, and nutritional integrity.
If you care about where your milk comes from, how your food is produced, and the long-term health of our land and farming communities, this episode is a must-listen.
