Cracking Protein: Chicken or the Egg?

Since protein is hot right now, we wanted to go straight to the source of one of our go-to choices. In this episode, we sit down with mother (Annie) and daughter (Tessa) Diemand—second- and third-generation poultry farmers—for a conversation that helps close the distance between raising chickens and producing eggs with care, and the grocery store cooler. We unpack what labels like local, cage-free, and pasture-raised really mean, how practices have evolved across generations, and what they hope shoppers pause to appreciate the next time they crack an egg or cook a piece of chicken.
