What does it take to make local food more accessible, more transparent—and more delicious? In this episode, OBIE host Dana DiPrima sits down with Michael Robinov, co-founder of Farm to People , a New York-based company delivering local produce, meats, and pantry staples to thousands of city households each week. Michael grew up steeped in natural foods thanks to his dad, a pioneer in the organic movement, but it wasn’t until a college gap year that the pieces clicked. What started as a scrappy farm box operation out of a Brooklyn apartment has grown into one of the country’s most compelling examples of how to support the development of a modern, regional food system. We talk about: What “regional food” actually means—and why it’s not just another buzzword The inconvenient truth about grocery store supply chains Why local and transparent food systems matter now more than ever Building a food business without venture capital The role of technology in building a regional food network Whether you're a New Yorker or not, this episode is for you if you love food, wish you had someone to bring the farm to you, or if you're curious about how a model like Farm to People could benefit your community. This episode is packed with insights on how it's possible to build a better food system—one delivery at a time.
