The Food Peddler's Podcast: Presented by FarmTableWest

By Zach Buchel

Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm Zach Buchel, a guy who’s always excited about Good Food.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it if I tried. I love it all. Saying it’s an obsession would be an understatement.

I own FarmTableWest (a.k.a. farmtablewest.com), which is an Online Farmer's Market stationed in Cody, Wyoming where we peddle Good Food, and then bring it to you! It's pretty cool.

This channel is here to share our super cool interviews with farmers, business owners, or just random thoughts that pop in my head.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks so much for your support!

In this episode we chat about how diversity in farming gives you a greater result than the sum of its parts and how Certified Organic isn't always all its cracked up to be. The best way to know what you're eating is to know who's growing it!

Farm To Table Talk: Why Wyoming is SO COOL! Zach Buchel

Farm To Table Talk: Why Wyoming is SO COOL! Zach Buchel

The tables have turned in this episode (pun intended) as yours truly is interviewed by Rodger Wasson for his podcast Farm To Table Talk. Rodger was blown away by what we're growing in the mountain West as he usually interviews people from the east or west coasts. The black soil of our farms shocked him in the best way possible. We talk about the challenges of making farm to table happen here in Wyoming, but also the unique benefits of working with farms at different elevations like Cody, Powell, Lovell and Worland. Should be a fun listen where the shoe's on the other foot!
