So what’s ostrich meat like?
It’s actually, super tasty and almost just like beef!
In today’s episode, I’ll be chatting with Alex McCoy from American ostrich Farms on the basics of raising ostriches, how this meat is more similar to beef than anything else, and the significant health benefits. We’ll dive into how Alex got interested in ostrich meat in the first place, how different cultures use all aspects of this species, and what it’s like being at the forefront of ostrich farming in the United States. Alex and I will also cover how the company built their online presence and why he believes buying meat online is the future. Check out the intro clip of the interview below!
