    In this episode of Road to the Unknown, Dylan and Mo sit down with Andre Houssney, founder of Jacob Springs Farm, and his wife, Alexa Williams, to discuss the transformative power of regenerative agriculture. Located in Boulder, Colorado, Jacob Springs Farm is more than just a place for grass-fed proteins and heirloom grains—it’s a thriving ecosystem that fosters community and sustainability.

His journey in regenerative farming is both inspiring and educational, offering insights into soil fertility, biodiversity, and how his team works to create closed-loop systems that turn waste into resources.

Her work focuses on providing cleaner, healthier sleep solutions through her family's business, which aligns with their commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle.

    Throughout the episode, we explore how their personal stories intertwine with a mission to build resilient communities through food, agriculture, and health. We also discuss milk shares, the economics of farming, and how they integrate diverse food cultures into their farm’s operations.
