DISCOVER THE ETHICAL EATER

Food Journey

Ethical Eater is an informational guide to enjoying food as a consumer in a more ethical and socially conscious way. We are Damian Garrod and Sarah Garrod, I have 30 years of restaurant experience and my wife is an Attorney. We hail from opposite sides of the country yet managed to meet in South Carolina. Sarah is from Appalachia and Damian is from the Pacific Northwest. Understanding the relationship between consumers and producers is one of the basic principles of ecology and we will examine the environmental impacts on different regions and localities, particularly those we have personal experience with. We will introduce you to businesses and communities that are creating opportunities for women, racial minorities, and persons living with disabilities.
