In accordance with this belief, Bryan believes that having a relationship with a Regenerative Agricultural farmer or rancher is more effective and helpful than having a relationship with a doctor or pharmacist. His drive-in life currently is being part of developing a food system that is completely independent and free of industrial inputs and completely separate from industrial distribution channels also.
