The most delicious, lean red meat that isn't beef is Ostrich! If you are like me, you probably have not tried it. I did and was pleasantly surprised! Today I interview the premiere Ostrich farmer in America, Alex McCoy, CEO, of American Ostrich Farms. Agriculture is the single most important industry in America if you ask me, and Alex is single-handedly building the value chain for this environmentally friendly, healthy, and sustainable alternative to beef. Join me as I dive deep into Alex's business to discover the challenges and immense future opportunities for this unique bird.
