The Curious Cooks
THE HANDS THAT FEED YOU - Our real life heroes turning soil, sweat and stories into dinner.
What if eating beef could benefit your health and the environment? In this episode, we sit down with Dean Ryan of Lake Janis Farm in Pemberton, where 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Jersey beef is grown slowly on diverse pastures in harmony with the land. Dean shares how regenerative farming boosts soil health, animal wellbeing and flavour—producing nutrient-dense beef with higher Omega-3 levels that support brain health and ageing well. We also explore his gold kiwifruit, organic avocados and ultra-white lamb, all part of a farming system designed to give back more than it takes.
