Farm to Table or Nose to Tail? Bringing Innovation to Meat Farming

Jennifer and Tina have come a long way from their “sausage wagon” days, but their goal has remained the same: supporting local farmers in getting their meat on your kitchen table. Jennifer Curtis, the co-founder of Firsthand Foods, knows the importance of taking a risk alongside farmers.

Having a healthy relationship with the food you eat, including the knowledge of where it comes from, can prove to be incredibly transformative. It certainly has been in her life. From policy advocacy to direct relationships with farmers, consumers, and chefs, being vocal about improving the quality and sustainability of local meats is no small task for this B-corp certified organization.

Firsthand Foods is working to change the narrative around local food ecosystems, one piece of meat at a time. You may even know some of their local partners – Bull City Burger, Pizzeria Toro, and Longleaf Swine to name a few. With over $1.2 million going to farmers in 2022, they’re just getting started in amplifying the impact of sustainable meat-sourcing practices.
