🌾 From soil to supper… this is farming full circle.
Just outside Daysland, ZS Farms is redefining what agriculture can look like in the Flagstaff Region. Rooted in soil health, transparency, and regenerative practices, this fourth generation family farm is proving that productivity and sustainability can go hand in hand.
From fungi rich compost powered by pigs 🐖 to fully traceable, whole grain livestock feed, every part of their operation is intentionally connected. The result? Healthier soil, healthier animals, and food you can feel good about.
This is more than farming. It’s a mindset shift.
👉 Read the full story in bio and discover how ZS Farms is changing the way we think about food, feed, and the future of agriculture.

🎙️ What if the way we produce food isn’t the only way… or even the best way?
In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we sit down with Bryan Zwack of @zsfarms , a Daysland-based entrepreneur who started asking questions most people don’t.
What began with curiosity and a few old books turned into something much bigger. A completely different way of thinking about soil, animals, and the food we eat.
🌱 Healthier soil
🐄 Thoughtful animal care
🍽️ Better food quality
All connected.
This is more than a farming story.
It’s about challenging the norm, taking risks, and having the courage to build something different in rural Alberta.
If you’ve ever wondered “what if there’s a better way” this one’s for you.

🎙️ The first Rural Unrecognized episode of 2026 is here.
What If There’s a Better Way? Rethinking Food Production
In this episode, @thejessicajanzen sits down with Bryan of @zsfarms, a Daysland based entrepreneur whose curiosity and willingness to challenge conventional thinking led him to rethink how food is produced.

One that connects soil health, animal care, and food quality into a full circle approach.
Bryan shares the journey of questioning industry assumptions, taking risks, and building something new in rural Alberta. It is a conversation about innovation, leadership, and the mindset it takes to try something different when others are watching.
This episode is not only about farming. It is about curiosity, courage, and finding a better way forward.
