Do you know the problems facing small farmers in the United States? Each year, more small farmers disappear. Even if you're not the one growing the food, this matters in the long term. It affects the food you can source, the health of your communities, and ultimately our response to climate change.
It's intimidating, expensive, and not convenient - we've heard (and experienced ourselves) the objections. We're addressing the biggest concerns we hear as farmers about buying in bulk - and why we still think buying in bulk is one of the best options for consumers.
Lab-grown meat pretends that food is created solely for us. It ignores how growing food feeds creatures and plants beyond us. More significantly, it eliminates how we nourish, contribute to, and participate in care for the land through this work.
Cream-top, low-pasteurized milk is the perfect farm-to-table food. Discover the important nutritional benefits, delicious taste, and effect that it has upon the local economy.
What's the secret to our delicious, farm-raised poultry? It never leaves the farm. Here's why that matters - and how it creates the best food to put on your table.
Pork deserves its share of the spotlight in your weekly cooking rotation. Although chicken and beef are popular - and rightfully so - I find that pork is one of the most versatile and flavorful ingredients that I can add to my meals. And, contrary to popular belief, pasture-raised pork is good for you, too.
An important aspect of buying directly from farmers: it has a "ripple effect" on the community at large. The longer we farm, the more important this idea becomes to us. Our farm is only as strong as the local economy around us. This means that we don't just need our farm to be successful. Supporting our farm enables an entire community to thrive.
If I told you that soil affects our bodies – that it can actually influence the way they function – would you be surprised?
The longer you're in pasture-raised circles, the more often you'll hear the phrase "eating the whole animal". And you might wonder -- what's that all about? Eating organ meats and bones reduce waste, make nutrient-dense food affordable, and balance the accumulation of nutrients in our bodies for optimal health.
Although you may not know it, soil is the heartbeat of a community. Its presence determines whether food can be grown, and thus if the community can survive. But the health and quality of that soil also determines the nutritional content in our food – in other words, if there’s actually anything in it to fuel our bodies.
