EarthFed was founded by Nick Talio and Mike Bancale, two passionate health enthusiasts with over 20 years of combined experience in the food and fitness industry. Together, they created EarthFed to bring nutrient-dense, toxin-free meals to those looking to optimize their health and well-being.
Mike, originally from Italy, moved to the U.S. in his early twenties. His journey was shaped by his personal struggle with gut health and the harmful impact of processed ingredients, pesticides, and additives commonly found in American foods, especially grains, seed oils, and added sugars. When he returns to Italy, he notices a remarkable difference—his gut issues disappear, his energy improves, and he effortlessly loses weight. His Italian heritage and over a decade of experience owning restaurants bring an uncompromising commitment to sourcing the purest ingredients.
Nick brings a decade of experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer dedicated to helping people achieve their best physical and mental health. He firmly believes that food quality is far more impactful than simply counting calories. Nick’s philosophy is rooted in the idea that removing toxins from food allows the body to thrive naturally, restoring vitality, clarity, and optimal performance.
Together, Nick and Mike are on a mission to bring this commitment to quality to EarthFed’s meal prep service. Every meal is designed to support health without compromise, using ingredients that are organic, 100% grass-fed, pasture raised, and sustainably caught. EarthFed isn’t just a meal service; it’s a movement towards healthier bodies, minds, and a more sustainable planet.
