Greener Pastures is a blog, community, and activism hub in the upper midwest here to make everyday support of humane, sustainable agriculture easy and seamless with your lifestyle.

Because let's face it- we want our food and farms to be healthy, humane, and sustainable for farm animals, communities, and our environment. But the way our food system is set up makes that way too hard. So hard that we wind up buying factory-farmed products even though we don’t want to!

Why is this happening? Surprise: because our food system favors (and has been shaped by) powerful corporate interests in industrialized agriculture that have stacked the deck against ethical farmers and community food systems raising food in the spirit of land stewardship, animal welfare, and community nourishment.

That’s where Greener Pastures comes in: we're your dose of inspiration, encouragement, and education for everyday support of humane, sustainable agriculture. We provide credible guidance on how to make food decisions authentic to your values so you can vote with your fork and feel amazing about your choices. And we don’t stop there- we give you opportunities to take civic action to shape a better food system- one without factory farming.
