Michael Passmore is the owner of Passmore Ranch, a premium freshwater, sustainable fish ranch in Sloughhouse, California. If you are eating fish or caviar at a nice sit-down in Sacramento, there is a good chance you got it from Michael.

Join us as we talk about Michael's military service, how he dropped out of law school to work a raw piece of land off Jackson Highway, and discuss all things regarding food, travel, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and local Sacramento!

One of my favorite talks so far!
