Part of the joy of bringing these podcasts to you is that I learn as much as you do, and this episode's guest really opened my eyes to one of the many ways that regenerative farm looks and what it can do to the land.
I know that you will enjoy this conversation and since White Oak Meadows has an 'open door policy' and you're in the Richmond area, I'm sure Jim and his wife Cyrille would love it if you stopped by.
Jim Medeiros and his wife Cyrille and live on their farm in western Dinwiddie County with their dogs which are mostly foster failures who just needed a couch to sleep on.
Jim had the desire and calling to farm ever since he was a kid. Jim's grandparents were dairy and vegetable farmers and Jim’s very first job was working on a beef farm. He also worked for a vegetable farmer and another dairy farmer while he was growing up.
All of us have many ‘firsts’ in our lives, but I bet not many can say that they bought their first cow when they were in their teens and then expand that to having a small herd while still in school.
In 2012, Jim and Cyrille bought the ground on which White Oak Meadows was established and shortly discovered that the only thing they had growing was chick weed, which they referred to as “field fuzz”.
There were no earth worms, water didn’t percolate into the soil as it was rock hard, they didn’t see songbirds or wildlife, but time, patience and hard work has paid off as you’ll hear for yourself in this episode.

The Good Foods podcast is hosted by Shardan Sandoval and it’s possible that you've heard my voice on a commercial here and there, particularly since I'm currently one of the many talented National Creative Production Designers for iHeartMedia and to date, I voiced and produced commercials that have aired from Hartford to Hawaii.
I created this podcast for Good Foods Grocery in March of 2023 and it is a joy to create this for you.
