Farm To Table: The Farmer
Manage episode 324983073 series 2898007
"Vegetables get jetlagged the same way we get jetlagged when we travel. Let's cut the whole process and start growing locally"
Our guide for today on this journey of communal actualization is Dana Al Salem. She's the managing partner of Acquire, a privately owned food, and beverage company that operates some of your favorite Kuwaiti franchises and homegrown concepts from Munch to Upper Crust Pizzeria, Re cleanse, Rare Cuts, Magnolia bakery, and many more.
Dana is also the friendly face behind Sadeer farms. Originally a 350,000 square meter goat farm that now plants and supplies Kuwait with diverse offerings from leafy kale and red lettuce to starchy corn and utilitarian lupus.
I want to set the stage for this interview by shining the spotlight on three main points of focus for our dialogue.
- About Dana and her unique human journey.
- Dig deep into the rich soil of Sadeer farms and learn about their wins, their obstacles, and their dreams.
- Walk away from this conversation with some of the best tips and practices to apply to your own post-pandemic home gardens and green projects
