Episode Description
Didier (pronounced Didi) Dubrui was born and raised in Belgium. After a stint in the United States on an Arizona Cattle Ranch, he transformed his life and values and returned to Europe with the intention of creating his own piece of Western American heaven. He settled in Brittany France where he ranches with his wife, Alison. They raise Hereford cattle and offer training in western horsemanship, breakaway roping and leather craft to clients from all over Europe. Didier shares how the challenges we face in the United States are similar to those of producers in France and around the world. Now more than ever solidarity it needed among all of us feeding and clothing the world.
