Old Salt Co-op: How a Montana Town Is Reclaiming Its Food Future

“Land is kin.” It’s the mantra at the heart of what guides Cole Mannix and Old Salt Co-op. Old Salt is a meat company built by ranchers to take the power back from Big Beef. They do everything from pasture to plate, running multiple restaurants and an annual festival that draws thousands to Montana around food, art, and community. This is also a deeply personal story born out of a promise to save his own ranch. Cole serves land, legacy, and community - and represents what it means to take responsibility for a place and the people who depend on it.-----The How to Change the World Podcast is produced by World Within Studios with PRX.Producer and Composer: Alexandre MillerEditors: Eve Weston and Martin McGreevySpecial Thanks: Gabe Sweeney

Lufa Farms: How to Grow Food on Top of a City
