This week, we welcome Lisa Caras from Jones Dairy Farm to tell us all about the company's very meaty business, which has been running for 130 years. Lisa shares her own personal career journey and recounts how she made her way back to the family business after working and studying in New York and Silicon Valley. She fills us in on the long and steady history of Jones Dairy Farm and reminds us how much the recipes have stayed the same for over a century. She explains what sets Jones bacon apart from that of other producers and how the time they have spent in the game gives Jones the upper hand. We talk small-batch production, health practices, preservatives and antibiotics, and some of the favorite items Jones offers.
