Regeneration is a topic that divides people despite having good intentions at its core. But conservative regenerative farmer Mollie Engelhart does not rally on just one side of the aisle – she openly challenges dominant narratives and asks the difficult questions. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to look back on how she let go of her vegan diet to become an advocate for soil health, land stewardship, and political transformation. Delving into her personal experiences as a vegan restaurateur-turned-owner of the Sovereignty Ranch, Mollie emphasizes why saving the environment requires a strong coalition of left and right wings, stressing why such an issue must never be politicized. She also shares insights about what it takes to address the border issue, the challenges faced by undocumented communities, and how the regenerative movement must rethink how regulations are implemented.
About Guest:
Mollie Engelhart is the executive chef and founder of Sage Regenerative Kitchen in Los Angeles alongside her husband Elias as well as a leader in the Regenerative Agriculture movement with 200 acres at Sovereignty Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Her mission is to produce healthy food from healthy soil for her communities. Mollie is the mother of five, a film producer, poet, and thought leader examining the connections of humanity, family, soil, food, and culture, constantly questioning “Where do we go from here?” She is passionate about health freedom, natural birth, breastfeeding, regenerative agriculture, community, and humanity’s place in partnership with nature and God. As a self-proclaimed lifelong liberal, Mollie became confronted with the bureaucracy that destroyed her once thriving restaurants in Los Angeles during the pandemic. Mollie came to the conclusion that the democratic party did not center around family, God or freedom and now sees herself as a “radical centrist”. Since her revelations, Mollie has done many speaking events, giving testimony to how she became pro-life, the challenges of doing business in California, regenerative agriculture and the connection between soil and health. She regularly gets standing ovations and brings people to tears with her inspiring conversations. Mollie has been featured on podcasts, news outlets, public speaking engagements and more including; Texas State University, Epoch Times, Turning Point USA, Fox News, Bon Appetit, ABC News, NPR, Luke Storey, Max Lavine, Confluence and the Exit & Build Summit.
