Thomas Locke on His Journey from Desk Job to Farmer

Sustainable Dish Podcast

Thomas Locke is part of the recent movement of office workers turned farmers. Before becoming a farmer, Thomas followed a path most of us are familiar with: go to college, take classes you find interesting, then move to a city where you can successfully join the workforce. The end.

But for Thomas, it didn’t stop there. After some moving around both geographically and within careers, he found his calling as a farmer and has never looked back. Bois d’Arc Meat Co. was born.
