So there we were. My Austin, Texas based local food podcast The Lone Star Plate appeared to be off the menu on account of the pandemic.
Or so I thought, but then I made a decision that surprised even me.
But, wait; let’s start at the beginning.
Last year I founded TexasRealFood through Ashfount Investments, my RegAg investment vehicle. TexasRealFood is about what it says on the tin, namely, fresh, seasonal, locally produced food from a great state.
In case you didn’t know, the local food movement has been bringing a much-needed shift in food production and consumption for years, and currently is gaining new momentum right across Texas and beyond in the wake of the pandemic. The reason for its success is simple: it’s all about food, nourishing produce that is locally and sustainably farmed. This focus on shorter supply chains is also crucial for greater stability, as we've seen in recent times.
