In this episode of Focus On Health I chat with Brandon Thrash about doing what we love, the power we have as purchasers, sustainable farming, and how sometimes it's okay to cry. Brandon is a beverage professional in Philadelphia, PA. He has managed and bartended across the country including time in San Francisco, Chicago, Ft Lauderdale, and Philadelphia. He spent fall of 2018 and 2019 working with Maloof Wines in Oregon as the production assistant, and he is currently finishing a biological farming internship with Dan Rinke of Art + Science Cider and Wine before returning to Philadelphia as the head of beverage for Middle Child Clubhouse.
He is an advocate for using the buying power of restaurants and bars to drive positive cultural change. By advocating for more open sharing of information on sourcing and thoughtful buying, he believes that we can create a shift in agricultural practices in the United States.
