“Go find a farmer and never let them go.” 🤝👨‍🌾

The truth is, the industrial food system is often worse than we think. When you buy from a grocery store, that meat likely comes from CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) where you can’t know how the animal or plant was treated. 🚫🥩

The solution is a return to resilient local farmers in our communities. By sourcing from a local, regenerative network, you ensure your food comes from people you trust and land that is being enriched, not depleted.

What does it look like to support regenerative agriculture in your own community? 🏡 Captain Soup CEO and farmer Brian Gaudette shares three key ways to get involved today:
✅ Know your farmer👨‍🌾: Look for and support local farmers who sell meat, eggs, and produce. When you buy from a grocery store, you can’t necessarily know how that animal or plant was treated. 🐓
✅ Start your own backyard garden or chicken coop. 🐓
✅ Build a resilient, local food community. 🌿

It’s time to move away from global monocrops and back to the resilient local village that looks after one another. 🏡🍎

The current food system depletes the soil—and as a result, it's depleting us. It’s time to choose a system that heals instead. 📉🌿

Captain Soup Founder Brian Gaudette, and Director of Operations Alex Lonnquist dive into the "why" behind our health crisis and how regenerative farming is the solution. As Mark Hyman, MD remarks: if we stop subsidizing corn and soy, the shift to regenerative agriculture will happen naturally.
When we stop making giant monocrops artificially beneficial, the world will see that regenerative systems are actually more productive and resilient over time. 🌿

The Path Forward:
🚫 Remove the Middleman: We need to peel back the regulations that let the state stand between the farmer and the customer.
🏡 Go Local: The future is less global and more community-focused. By prioritizing local food sources, we rebuild the connection between the land and our health.
🌱 Grassroots Action: It starts with us. By taking responsibility for our food sources, we create a movement that values soil health and animal stewardship.

It’s time to uproot a system that depletes us and plant one that heals us.

What happens when you realize there is no downside to doing things the right way? 🌱
When Brian started learning about regenerative agriculture, the benefits were undeniable. It heals the soil, it heals the planet, and most importantly, it produces the most healing food on earth.
But for Brian, just sourcing ingredients for Captain Soup wasn’t enough. He didn't just want to support the movement from a distance—he wanted the health, the vitality, and the life that only comes from being a farmer himself. 👨‍🌾✨
He traded the military life for a life in the pasture, choosing to become a steward of the land so he could experience that healing process from the ground up.

Real Food is Finally Center Stage 🥦🥩🥣
The conversation around nutrition has officially shifted. The newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans represent the most significant change in decades, placing a powerful emphasis on real, whole food as the foundation of health.
With the federal government now advising a "war" on highly processed foods and a return to nutrient density, it’s the perfect time to look at the protocols that have championed this approach for years.

What sets apart GAPS, AIP, Keto, Paleo, and The Wahls Protocol? While each has a unique focus, they all share one core mission that perfectly mirrors the new U.S. guidelines: nourishing the body with high-quality protein and healthy fats while avoiding industrial junk.
✨ GAPS: Focuses on gut repair and the gut-brain connection.
✨ AIP: Calms inflammation to support autoimmune health.
✨ Keto: Prioritizes healthy fats for metabolic and brain energy.
✨ Paleo: A return to the whole, ancestral foods our bodies recognize.
✨ Wahls: Specifically nourishes mitochondria and cellular function.
Captain Soup: Built for the New Standard of Health👇

We didn't have to change our recipes to meet the new guidelines—we were already there. Whether you are following a specific protocol or just looking to align with the new "Make America Healthy Again" standards, Captain Soup makes it simple.

❌ NO industrial seed oils.
❌ NO added sugars (the new guidelines now recommend zero added sugar).
❌ NO processed ingredients.
✅ YES to nutrient-dense meals that are at least 94% fat and protein—featuring high-quality animal proteins, organic vegetables, and nourishing, real-food fats already cooked for your convenience!

Shouts of praise as life bursts forth at City on a Hill Farm!

01/01/2026

A new year, and a reminder that healing doesn’t always happen where we expect it 🌱✨

While recovering from illness, Brian split his time between an Army recovery unit during the week and life on the farm on weekends. Though surrounded by providers and a care team dedicated to helping him heal, he felt his best—mentally and physically—when he was outdoors cutting wood, tending animals, and working the farm land with his family. Farm life gave him purpose, movement, and vitality in ways focused healthcare could not.

In this interview, Alex Lonnquist sits down with Captain Soup founder & CEO Brian Gaudette for a powerful, on-the-farm conversation. For the first time, Brian shares the story of the last five years— from illness and recovery, to regenerative agriculture inspired by Joel Salatin, to building City on a Hill Farm and vertically integrating Captain Soup.

For anyone entering the New Year craving a healthier, simpler way of living and healing—this conversation is for you🌿

Every single person on the Captain Soup team has been impacted by autoimmune disease or chronic illness in some way.

We’ve experienced firsthand how deeply nourishing food can support healing—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This New Year, we’re inviting you to join us in a 30-day nourishment reset—no restriction, no perfection, just nourishment. Because we know what it’s like to be undernourished and just surviving… and what it feels like to be nourished and truly thriving on the other side.

Maureen’s favorite? Our Chicken Soup. 🥣✨
Made with pasture‑raised chicken from City on a Hill Farm — birds that live a good life in the sunshine — plus heaps of colorful vegetables that make every pot look like nourishment in full bloom.
She calls it the best chicken soup she’s ever tasted… and here’s her secret:
We simmer the skin right into the broth.
That’s what gives it that full, rich creaminess and flavor you can feel all the way through.
It’s beautiful to look at, even better to eat, and crafted with the kind of care you can’t fake. 🤍

Now we want to hear from YOU👇

Meet Brian Gaudette, the founder, farmer, and force behind .soup.
A former Combat Paratrooper, Army Pilot, and Instructor of Leadership at West Point, Brian faced an autoimmune disease that threatened his ability to fly.

Rather than accept a life of managing symptoms, Brian turned to real, unprocessed food as medicine.
He created what would become our first recipe — the Classic Lamb Soup — made with grass-fed lamb, organic vegetables, and slow-simmered bone broth.
He ate it every day to rebuild his gut and ultimately reverse his autoimmune disease.

Today, Brian farms in Oregon, where his connection to the land deepens his understanding that:
🌱 Soil health, animal health, and human health are all connected.
🥣 Food purity and nutrient density matter.
💪 Healing starts in the gut.

That’s the heart of Captain Soup’s mission — to make nutrient-dense, healing food delicious, satisfying, and convenient for everyone.
