EatWild was founded in 2001 by Jo Robinson with one simple mission — help consumers find farmers raising animals the right way. What started as a simple directory has grown into America's most trusted grass-fed resource.
EatWild.com was founded by author and activist Jo Robinson in 2001 to promote the many advantages of pasture raising livestock on small family farms. She has visited pasture-based farms across the country and given presentations to several thousand farmers and consumers.
Jo has been named one of the Top 50 Food Activists in the country and is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Eating on the Wild Side, as well as Pasture Perfect and Why Grassfed Is Best! She is also the co-author of The Omega Diet (with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos) and When Your Body Gets the Blues (with Dr. Marie-Annette Brown), among others.
"Growing the most nutritious fruits and vegetables in backyard gardens is the wave of the future."
