"The most important thing to us is quality so we feel like if we offer the quality, we're gonna put it at a fair price...Once we have the quality of the ingredients established, we really try to make that stand out." -- Morgan Weber on The Farm Report.
"There was tons of old rusted machinery all over the place, the animals all looked kind of sick, they were wearing these nylon twine collars, and the chickens were running around in their own filth..." -- Stephanie Fisher on farm internships, The Farm Report
