Food sourcing

Every time I go to Whole Foods it takes me back to shopping in the Universam in Russia - lots of empty shelves.  No eggs, little milk.
 
Bird flu outbreaks disrupting the supply of eggs and dairy places a spotlight on something Jolie has always prioritized—food sourcing and knowing where your food comes from.
 
Direct relationships with farmers, butchers, and fishmongers has never been more critical. Food that is responsibly sourced, raised well, and grown in ways that support soil quality support your body better:
​
✔ Greater Nutrient Density: Animals raised on natural diets—pasture-raised chickens, grass-fed cows, and wild-caught fish—are significantly higher in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
✔ Lower Toxic Load: Well farmed foods have more nutrients and less toxicity from  antibiotics, hormones, and unnatural feed..
✔Regenerative farmers care more about the sustainability of their farms long term and are full of passion which inspires them to do the right things.
 
Well sourced food takes more effort and often costs more - but it gives you more which in the long run saves you money, time, and medical costs.
 
That is one reason why I love farmers, farmers’ markets, and take so much time sourcing the right foods for myself and jolie. We support people committed to quality food, so we can have it - they are a dying breed so to speak.
 
Let our current circumstances be a reminder to support those that care about farming methods that make food deeply nourishing for us and the earth.
  
P.S. Farmers' markets are around the corner – I can't wait to be back in Union Square.
