Have you noticed our new logo? Here's the story behind its creation.
Do you know the Parable of the Sower? In this story from the Gospel of Matthew, a farmer scatters his seed in three places: rocky ground, where it fails to root and dies in the heat; in the thorns, where the seed dies from a lack of sunlight and space; and in the “good” soil, where the seed multiplies and grows.
Can you be plant-based - and still eat pasture-raised food?
Does being "plant-based" mean that you have to be opposed to eating meat? Or is there more common ground between these two practices than meets the ye?
Got sticker shock over the price of locally sourced food? Let's talk about it.
Have you ever found yourself staring at a product, wondering: Why does this cost that?
Where can you find high-quality, good fat? The answer might surprise you.
We often hear that saturated fat - the fat found in red meat - is bad for you. But is it really? Looking at how that fat is made - and what it does to our bodies - reveals a different answer.
Are regenerative practices the work of the country - or the city?
“What can I do?” This is a question I am often asked when we talk about regenerative practices. It’s easy to conceptualize cultivating the soil when you’re standing on a farm. But what if you live in the suburbs or the city?
Our poultry never leave the farm. Here's why that matters.
What's the secret to the best chicken our customers have ever tasted? It never leaves the farm. Processing on the farm, by hand, creates the most humane environment possible -- and the best food to put on your table.
It takes a village - to feed the soil.
"It takes a village." Often, we hear that in regard to raising children. But have you ever thought about it in terms of....caring for the soil?
Here's how pasture-raised meat makes us slow down - and be thankful.
Living on a farm, I’m often struck by the distinction between the hyper-efficiency and convenience of our man-made lives, and the slow and deliberate pace of plant and animal life. Often, this contrast is painted in rosy terms: Slow down! Smell the roses! Stop and take a moment to breathe! You know what, though? Sometimes stopping and smelling the roses makes things harder. Or at least that’s how it feels. After all, if they’re my roses…doesn’t that mean I have to take care of them? Feed them? Prune them? Is smelling the roses just creating more work when I’m already overwhelmed?
Climate change is here. Can farmers be part of the solution?
If I asked you to envision "nature", what would you see? Do you imagine human beings as being part of nature - or separate from it? And how does that influence the way we think about healing the earth?
