Local Farm Quality to Our Students: Mark Tadros MITM Ep 26 Pt. 2 of 2In Part 2, the conversation shifts to why American farms are disappearing and what consumers can do about it.The guest explains how grocery store margins and global pricing leave farmers with the smallest share. He connects this to avocados, table grapes, and the impact of international competition on California agriculture.A powerful story about his daughter’s school lunch reveals the gap between fresh local produce and what many kids are actually served. That moment drives a mission to bring farm-fresh fruits and vegetables directly into school districts.The discussion also exposes misleading food labels and why “Product of USA” does not always mean what people think. The guest argues that the only way to truly know your food is to get closer to the source.He shares how regenerative farming, no-till practices, and beneficial insects allow his farm to operate with zero chemicals. He believes educating children is the long-term path to changing food demand and saving local farms.This episode is about food transparency, consumer responsibility, and how small actions at the grocery store and in schools can reshape the future of farming.azizfarms.comazizpackhouse.comfacebook.com/packhouse.eventsInstgram: packhouseazizfarmsInstgram: aziz.farmsIf this story moved you, drop a ❤️ and comment “RESPECT” below.Subscribe for more powerful conversations that matter.🎙️ Meade in the Middle — where nothing is off limits.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly conversations that challenge the narrative.Recorded at 1 life studios.
