Episode 76 Jes Oelschlagel January 11 2017
For all our talk about letting consumers see how their food is produced, there’s one part of the process that has remained hidden from public view. A third generation butcher, Jes Oelschlagal wants to change that and help educate people on why the job of ending an animals life is noble and important. I think it’s safe to say we don’t pull ant punches with this one. Check out the True Transparency Project for more info. https://jessoelschlagel.wixsite.com/thebutchersdaughter www.instagram.com/truetransparencypro
