Brian & Mary Heffernan | Five Marys Ranch

<p>I sat down with Brian and Mary Heffernan to hear how they went from Silicon Valley to ranchers and why they’re so passionate about changing the way we buy and source our beef. We talk about direct-to-consumer sales, the challenges ranchers face with processing regulations, and why transparency in our food system matters. Their story gives a unique look at the future of American ranching and what it will take to build a more independent and connected food system.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Equinety is proud sponsor of the Charly Crawford Podcast.
