Fit To Eat S2E10 Nelson Fagan

Here’s a skill testing question for you: about what percentage of the beef that is eaten in Newfoundland and Labrador comes from the province? What do you think? A quarter? Less? A tenth? More? I don’t want to spoil the suspense for you, so for the answer you’ll have to listen in to this week’s “Fit to Eat: the NL Farm and Food Show,” We meet Nelson Fagan Jr., of Foxtrap, Conception Bay South, who is doing his part every day in inching that statistic a bit higher. We talk about tradition, land, pastures, the lure of farming, alt-meats, building a client base one door-knock at a time, beef genetics, the bright future for agriculture in the province, and beyond. Pull up a bale of hay and join us.
