AC and Kyle chat with Tucker Garrison of Imlak’esh Organics & CHi Foods.
These two organizations are supporting regenerative agriculture through a variety of superfood offerings from Imlak’esh and the first-ever certified organic plant-based meat from CHi Foods. In this episode, we learn about Tucker’s journey living with and learning from various indigenous peoples and how it inspired him to start a CPG company. We learn about the Sacha Inchi nut, which is a regenerative, perennial superfood that powers both of these brands. Tucker is a true joy to spend time with, and we’re excited to get 2023 started off with him as our first guest
