This whole thread is important, but I want to emphasize this tweet. Very few of the folks I started with are still here. Stability and institutional knowledge is invaluable. And right now it feels like we’re bleeding out talent and wisdom as the company resists raises.

Hey y’all, I want to introduce you to my newest baby, To Your Table. I created this series b/c we are increasingly disconnected from our food sources and the hardworking people who feed us every day. People like the Olsens, a 4th generation fishing family in Washington. (1/9)
