Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome back to Week 4 of our Shut Up! Tell Me More Summer Replay Series! This summer, I'm revisiting some of my favorite conversations from the past two years, and this episode genuinely made me second guess everything I eat.My guest is Jake Engelen, better known as Jake the Farmer. And get this: according to Jake, "organic" is basically bullshit, and he explains exactly why. Whether you agree with him or not, he will absolutely make you think differently about food, farming, and what we're putting into our bodies.Jake has also lived what feels like nine different lives. He's served in combat in the military, worked as a finance bro, and now owns and operates his own regenerative farm, Coastal Pastures Farm, in Delray Beach, Florida.And one of my favorite parts of this conversation had nothing to do with farming at all. Jake shares the unbelievable story of his father, who was a convict on the run for years and was basically taunting police the entire time with his screen name. You truly have to hear it to believe it.This conversation is fascinating from beginning to end and is filled with stories, perspectives, and moments that will leave you thinking long after it's over.Follow the show: Rate the show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and SUBSCRIBE on Apple & SpotifyInstagram: @shutuptellmemoreTikTok: @shutuptellmemorepodFull Video Episodes are Available on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ShutUpTellMeMorePodcastMy Guest: Jake EngelenIG: @coastalpasturesfarms
