Just like humans need to eat a diet appropriate to our evolved biology, so do our livestock. 2/3 of the earth’s farmland is marginal grassland, and the only animals that can digest and convert it into nutritious food are cows, sheep, goats, etc. Happily, such animals have been grazing and maintaining such land for tens of thousands of years. Talk about putting our resources to good use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/65e343ab-e3bc-40bf-aaf9-a64eabe5c4d0/seed+oils+.jpg Home - Seed-oil free Humans are not meant to digest the toxic industrial sludge known as seed oils or vegetable oils. Such oils were only ever used in an industrial capacity up until the early 20th century, coincidentally right around the time when modern chronic health epidemics became prevalent. Despite this, seed oils continue to find their way into most packaged and restaurant food. Finding seed-oil free food is quite a trick, and Shire is here to help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/51708a79-b39e-4200-83a4-ade92e28407a/cattle+rancher.jpeg Home - Regenerative Agriculture Food production is does not have to be a zero-sum game: we can produce food from the land while improving the health of the soil and ecology. Regenerative farmers understand exactly how to do that, and this is the highest standard of food quality from both a health and environmental perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/6536cf98-129e-4690-bf09-991880ddff3c/produce+basket.jpeg Home - Organic Despite its limitations, the USDA organic certification provides vastly superior food both for health and environment. Without many of the most common petroleum-based and toxic pesticides and fertilizers, organic food is less toxic and more nutrient-dense than “conventional” produce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1637757204860-3TAMWM4SDEMIKBR7V0DA/people+tending+farm.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1637757008165-MW139J35L7E5V342R6MS/indonesian+terrace+fields.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1637757065737-LPCNKIMZ6X75ZJP4MPB8/feast+on+table.jpeg Home https://about.shireapp.io/labs daily 0.75 2022-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/96cef00b-9ce8-4a0a-98de-03fbd8dc0016/lab+chemistry.jpeg Shire Labs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/04f9099f-ec92-4744-b3cc-83341091c033/IMG_8021.JPG Shire Labs - Our first study will investigate the effects of raw milk on women’s health People are typically told to avoid dairy, but many women have reported significant improvements from drinking raw, unprocessed milk. Most health research is conducted on men anyway, so this is a perfect opportunity to measure how drinking raw milk for 60 days affects female-specific health metrics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/b52a99bf-5274-48ba-b6d3-ae305ea4d0a2/IMG_7481.JPG Shire Labs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/eb0cdf97-10ef-4c77-a73a-8f37061bb87f/IMG_7483.jpg Shire Labs - Want to participate?

Shire's mission is to make quality food, which supports human and ecological health, more accessible. With the goal of reforming the food system entirely, Shire's initial product is an app that enables users to find food producers--farms, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.-- with an explicit commitment to quality products. Food quality is important for the health of people, the ecosystem, and their communities. Most food does not meet this bar. Shire is for people who are looking for the minority of food that does. We believe one of the biggest barriers to more conscious eating is access-- many people are interested in buying healthy, high-quality food, but they don't know where to get it. The first step in our mission is to make sure that any producer that makes such food is recognized for it, and that people can easily find them. But that’s just the beginning. Learn more about our plans here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/104bec82-a55a-4eb0-a8ed-877352cb7765/pexels-rachel-claire-5490700.jpg Shire Council - How can I help? Glad you asked. The Shire Council is responsible for stewarding Shire’s mission. History has shown us that despite even the best intentions, the industrial food complex has a way of pulling food businesses and marketplace platforms towards exploitation and sell-out status. When it comes down to it, we believe in principles over profits. You will help ensure that always remains true. You will also play a part in guiding early policies (e.g. what kinds of food, producers, & methods should we emphasize?), offering domain insight/expertise, coming up with and testing future platform features, expanding our network, and generally helping to make Shire known to the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/6d10a7ea-0f9b-4a82-b697-175f1d793d54/pexels-pixabay-158179.jpg Shire Council - What’s in it for me? Much more to come on this, but here’s a start: Founding member status. This will come with substantial platform perks, community recognition, and if our future roadmap is fully realized, this may include an ownership stake. Voting power & influence on decisions made by Shire. Networking with other exceptional people. Playing a part in real, positive change. As a society, our health is deteriorating, our communities are being ripped apart, our environment is degrading, and the vast majority of the animals we rely on are raised in horrific conditions. It seems everyone has a choice when it comes to these issues: carrying on with head-in-the-sand ignorance, virtue signaling about them on social media, or taking useful, definitive action. Shire is for people who choose the latter. https://about.shireapp.io/ambassadors-about daily 0.75 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/43f8163e-bc23-43fa-a345-9d84787512bc/43427771-3D3A-4E56-9282-3DE604E0D2CA.jpeg Ambassadors - If you love what we do and want to be a part of it. The world Shire is reaching for is only possible if we find and promote great farms, restaurants, and food stores. Our Ambassadors are the ones on the ground, bringing this goal into reality. They scout out all the best spots, meet their local food producers, and spread the word about Shire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/bf54ab26-8fc3-47ef-9f00-e6c1d2bc035a/9F9BBC00-6AEF-448A-A8C5-DF4256805D4A.jpeg Ambassadors - The Shire Ambassador Program brings people together to support farmers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1657810877542-R5R6QVBUWW3P7KOU1OL5/37CECF4F-EBDB-4C5D-91CB-EFAFA093F476.jpeg Ambassadors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1657650384916-NQP7KY8H89CEA55BUX32/4318C195-0EA5-4425-93E8-9EC3DD4CFB98.jpeg Ambassadors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/1657811045585-TSLTD4ADBZABA0YXNXJ5/E846888F-F7B4-4089-9E61-4627B12D515B.jpeg Ambassadors https://about.shireapp.io/about-us daily 0.75 2022-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/6b4f26e4-fadf-426a-8f71-0527a033d52c/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/9b0e4140-1344-4979-82d2-0612eb526e69/mor-shani-wFlOM6Dxuc8-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/b56f8e58-1c4c-4f86-8414-1b254296ec55/noaa-SkJG9sNkQVQ-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6197d2485b40e85e86eeccaa/48b17f71-7d5f-48be-8378-740872dc563d/renate-vanaga-2pV2LwPVP9A-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225337376-36JM1AX4C0NIC32WNXXU/Rectangle+26.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225123989-3AGGEWNOKB8XK6YRH6A9/Rectangle+25.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225350677-B3YBA0I530Q8W9125BX3/Rectangle+27.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg About Us
