It’s true what they say, goat is the greatest of all time! 🐐 Did you know that goat meat is consumed by 70% to 80% of the world’s population? We visited with Jonathan Buchanan of Crooked Road Farm & Stoneground Milling to learn why goat meat is so popular. 🥩

Did you know that goat meat is the most eaten protein in the world? 🐐🥩

It’s true what they say, goat is the greatest of all time! While visiting with one of our farm partners, Crooked Road Farm & Stoneground Milling, we got to hear first hand why goat meat is so popular. The lean meat is very similar to beef, and is packed with essential amino acids. Goat meat is also both culturally and religiously important across a large portion of the world! 🌎

We are grateful to be able to partner with farmers across East Tennessee to be able to supply our neighbors with culturally and religiously appropriate foods. To learn more visit SecondHarvestETN.org/programs or visit the link tree in our bio.

It's National TN Day! 🧡 At Second Harvest, we're working hard to preserve green spaces in our state by partnering with local farms. Darrel and Doris Stratton Tomatoes and Greenhouse in Grainger County grows some of the best tasting tomatoes in the country, and it's important to us that our neighbors continue to have access to high quality produce for years to come. 🍅
