Do you know where your food really comes from? It’s easy to forget that behind every ingredient are the people, the land, and the stories that bring it to our plates.

Tara Vander Dussen is a fifth-generation dairy farmer and environmental scientist who brings passion, expertise, and a fresh perspective to the table. She believes that understanding the journey of our food — from seed to plate — helps us make choices with confidence and clarity.

Through her work on the award-winning Discover Ag podcast and new TV series, Discover Ag TV, Tara demystifies modern farming, shines a light on the people and land behind our food, and makes agriculture approachable, engaging, and surprisingly fun.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to feel truly connected to your food
  • Why understanding the journey from seed to plate is essential
  • How to separate fact from fear in wellness and food trends
  • Insider perspective on modern farming and how it impacts your food
  • Practical ways to create confidence around your food choices

You’ll feel empowered to make informed decisions about what’s on your plate – cut through the noise of conflicting advice and fear-mongering – and trust the people who grow your food.
