For almost 20 years, Jennifer and Rodney Barrett were traditional farmers in Arkansas, raising millions of chickens for the meat industry. They worked hard and took a lot of pride in their operation. Farming was-quite literally-in their blood.
But when Rodney became sick and was prescribed a lifetime of medication, they started researching the role that nutrition plays in overall health. What they discovered completely changed their lives.
Rodney and Jennifer made the life-altering decision to walk away from animal agriculture. Simply put: they could no longer reconcile their livelihood with what they knew was right. As Rodney says, “You wouldn’t think we’d be doing something for so long....that was detrimental to our own health.”
Join Rip in today's conversation and witness their courageous and compassionate transformation. You'll never guess what is now growing in barns that once housed thousands of chickens!
These two deserve a medal to do sych a radical change, it cannot have been easy. Definitely a great inspiration ❤️
What a great interview! So happy for Jennifer and Rodney on making the changes they did not just for their own health but for the animals as well. Kudos to them both and wishing them well on their new journey!
I love this story. It’s my wish for the world that people will begin to see the light. No more animal suffering, better health and healthy planet.
I had covid, and was not super sick I think being plant based made all the difference. Wow I am super stoked to see farmers turning their farms into veggie operations and keeping their cows....I love these folks
Love learning from this episode . Who knew I too wish I started plant base eating earlier in my life .
Such a beautiful visit with such beautiful people!!!! My heart breaks hearing Rodney talk about his frustration with himself for not knowing all this before...but PLEASE no regret. No one can blame themselves for not knowing what they didn't know! Big money is very invested in keeping us ignorant of these truths. Wishing them only great success, health, joy!!!! Thank you for sharing!
well said as more of this truth gets out on nutrition and cruelty and disease we will change the food chain. I agree 100% about big money. Thanks for social media platforms
Great episode as always!
Super excited to hear this podcast! So grateful these folks were open to new beginnings! God bless them and hopefully the people that don't speak to them any longer will open their minds to healthier ways to live in harmony on the planet. Thanks Rip.
An amazing journey; kudos to you!
Thank you. What an inspirational couple...
I’m in awe of the courage it takes to make a change of this magnitude to your business model! The Barrett’s have my admiration and best wishes for their future.
Wow! I thought I gave up a lot to follow this truth. Compared to them, I did nothing but selfishly improve my health. Thanks for sharing them with the world. I hope to buy their mushrooms some day.
Hi Suzy what did you give up???
Thank you for sharing their story! Inspirational!
What lovely, amazing people
Thats a great point. Where would we be without Farmers? Is there anything we can do about Farmers who raise only plants but are still hurting animals? I have heard that Wild Pigs cause 1.5 billion dollars of damage to vegan crops every year. Wild pigs are being trapped, killed and poisoned by the millions. I came across this report ruclips.net/video/XaJ7-1bOk4M/видео.html. It is so upsetting. What can we do?
plant gardening* not farming
This is a great story! I hope they understand how wonderful it is that they took this journey together. When I was married, my wife ridiculed and demeaned me for making the dietary changes they have done. My health improved remarkably. Sadly she wanted no part of it considering it too “extreme” and I was narcissistic to make these changes. This is despite the fact that she has major health issues to deal with herself.This became a major issue in our marriage. We are no longer together but I still hope someday she could open her mind to the possibility that a plant based diet could really help her.
What an inspiration! What courage and integrity! I wish Rodney and Jennifer all the best in their new endeavors and I will be following them on Facebook. Thanks for a wonderful interview Rip.
These people have an awesome testimony. Very encouraging!!!
I am so proud of this beautiful couple and family!!
We will continue to keep them in our loving thoughts and prayers for a very successful and prosperous transitional business of growing plants instead of animals and the challenges they face for starting their animal sanctuary.
Rodney, our condolences and prayers for the loss of your father. We are so very sorry..
They both look wonderful! God bless their endeavors. 🙏🏼
Beautiful couple. Best wishes to them!! Thank you Rip.
Thank you so much for this interview. Wonderful!
They are right on the money. They went thru what I’m going thru now. I’m new to this plant base . I’m going to try the tofu now . I bought it today.
You can do it!
So happy for you Jodell! I've been plant strong since 2010 and LOVE living this way. YOU *CAN* do it!
Put lots of seasoning on it. It will absorb whatever flavors you like.
won't be long till you go back to your old ways of eating lol i know i would
What a great transition to an in-demand product. I always keep in stock mushroom powder, dried mushrooms, and fresh mushrooms. Bring it on!
Chicken is in demand also lol
I just ordered your Engine 2 cookbook this morning (better late then never)& really excited to start cooking from it! I watch your mom & sister and just love them and their funny interaction with each other.
Thanks for all you do!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great episode. I hope their mushrooms sell really well. King oyster mushrooms are the bomb!!
i hope they don't sell well, and hope they have no choice but to go back to their old ways of farming
I have the utmost respect for both of these people and hope that he stops feeling guilty about what he did in the past. They should both be so proud of themselves! I’m plant based and sadly my husband still eats so badly. I’ve just got him to agree to eat at least one plant based meal a day with me.😊
...great people... an amazing story.
When we know better we do better. Nothing good comes out of beating yourself up! My husband and I were at the same immersion in Sedona and agree wholeheartly that it would benefit everyone to learn what was being taught there. Once you know the facts there is no going back. You both have an amazing story and we wish you all the best in your new endeavor.
I started listening to the podcast on my run and will finish it tomorrow. I just wanted to peek and see what they look like. Such an amazing couple!!
Standing applause 👏 When you speak of your former farming I see you are still wrestling with the shame. Shake this off! You now see the light and have transformed your life and are using your story to reach others! 👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing your story! He is redeeming your life! How beautiful ❤️🙌
nah they should wrestle with the shame on the farming they're doing now, not what they did before
also I hope the farmers their reaching their story out too don't care!!!! about their story
Wow 👏
What an inspiring couple. Loved this👍
Great interview ! More should watch :)
Another great one. I’ve got to give up oil and salt but am finding it really hard.
24:37...YES! King Oysters please.
This couple is amazing! The saying the truth will set you free applies to them! Just wish I had more support around me.
Bravo !!! Awesome couple & journey & farm !!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing this wonderful and inspiring story !!!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this podcast! I’ve been vegetarian, predominately vegan for the last two years. Cheese and oil being the most difficult to let got of. But I’ve given up cheese for Lent. And oil use is way down. My wife is the cook in the house right now and she is not Vegan at all. So I’m blessed and grateful that I have been this successful! I love your family; your Mom is a hoot!

Loooved this store, So I shared hoping that all my unhealthy friends on Facebook will watch. I bought the engine 2 book 10 years ago, so glad I did, I lost about 40 lbs I was at 200 lbs at the time and 50 yrs. old. I am so happy because I feel so good, so much more energy. I did have some terrible feelings in my body before I started, but hated going to the Dr. and for some reason the Forks over knives movie came into my life on Netflix. I cheat once in a while but try not to, Cause when I cheat, my body feels it. I have so much energy when I eat plant based. My man and I went to NJ to the ocean for 4 days, and I did have some meat (chicken), ice cream... board walk food ugh!! when we returned back home, I felt awful for 3 days or so. Eat Plant Based!!!! After that every time my husband wanted to go out to eat I was like "NO!" I try to eat salads or pasta marinara when we go out. Loved this story, there life is changing for the better.
It would be helpful to know what Rodney's chief diet before his health diagnosis consisted of. My guess is red meat!
We would love to go to an immersion but we cannot afford it :-(
the title should be "Poultry to Plants: Meet these Chickens of a different feather" 😅 more like
What a great story. Thanks for sharing your health journey. Rodney, with all that joint pain and arthritis, you may want to cut back on foods containing Lectins. I did and its been a real game changer for me. If your not familiar with Lectins, here is a good intro ruclips.net/video/iRB7OzGupTY/видео.html
45:12 nah they're not brave, they're more like chickens, no offense, cause if they were brave they'd still be farming their chickens
