Zalman (Robbie) Friedman, founder of Robariah Farms in Western Massachusetts, shares his journey from the suburbs of Dallas to raising pasture-raised, kosher chickens and becoming a certified shochet. In this conversation, we explore the challenges and rewards of small-scale poultry farming, the history of Jewish chicken farmers in America, and what it means to produce kosher meat rooted in land, community, and regenerative agriculture. 🐓🌾🎙️
