In this self-paced class, learners will explore the journey food takes from the farm to their table. Through engaging, teacher-created videos. We'll delve into key topics like stewardship practices, animal welfare, and how to interpret food labels. We'll discuss important terms and phrases commonly seen on labels, such as "antibiotic-free," and unpack why some of these claims can be misleading. For example, we’ll break down why all milk is antibiotic-free, despite what some labels suggest.

To help learners critically assess food information, I’ll provide a credibility checklist to address common misconceptions. The class is designed to present topics from a farmer's perspective, helping learners make informed choices that align with their values and needs.
