Uproot upstanding My friends at Uproot Meats have had some nasty innuendos and allegations hurled their way from some disgruntled neighbors, such that I feel motivated to speak of my experience of knowing them and being at their farm several times. We have shared environmental awareness at every level, including soil awareness. I’ve witnessed these young farmers to be ethical problem-solvers and hard-working individuals as they’ve built their farm. It’s been nothing short of am

They held their first event on July 5, in a beehive-shaped building with no center support pillars, 80 feet in diameter, 40 feet
