Patrick Samuels is the founder of Sunnyside Egg Co., a Kentucky-based regenerative egg operation built on mobile coops and Amish/Mennonite farming partnerships. A former US Army Special Forces officer with no agricultural background, Patrick stumbled into farming through pandemic-era homesteading, worked inside one of the largest pasture-raised egg brands, and launched Sunnyside in December 2024 to scale what he calls the only truly regenerative egg operation in the country.5 Key TopicsThe pasture-raised label scamMobile coops as the real standardScaling regen without selling outThe corn/soy-free feed debateTransparency over certificationTimestamps[00:00] Intro & egg price controversy[01:30] Patrick's military-to-farming path[04:00] Inside a "pasture-raised" barn[07:00] Why certifiers are grifters[11:00] The Vital Farms breakdown[18:00] Retail vs. decentralisation debate[27:00] Corn & soy-free feed complexity[37:00] Regenerative certification loopholes[44:00] Sunnyside's growth timeline[01:01:00] On-farm operations & rotationLinksWebsiteInstagram
