One of the hardest questions I get asked is "How can you eat the animals you raise?" As an animal lover, this is the hardest part about what we do. I know animal welfare is important to you, and that's why I want to address it today.
Don't you love it when you get home from vacation and there's nothing to eat? That was us yesterday... We just got back from the lake and I didn't know what to make for supper. The fridge was empty and all the meat was frozen. And of course everyone was "starving".....
I'm always excited for summer because I'm delusional and think we won't be as busy as normal, but I quickly realize we're busier than ever. Running to sporting events every night, keeping up with the never ending piles of laundry and dirty kitchen floors, and trying to sneak away to the lake... It's exhausting to keep up with it all. If your schedule is anything like ours, you're probably not home enough to drink as much raw milk as you normally do.
Served over steak, this garlic mushroom cream sauce will take your steak to the next level - guaranteed.
One of my biggest pet peeves is how much candy and junk food our kids get these days. We know how harmful artificial dyes, additives, and sugar are for our kids, yet it's everywhere - especially the concession stands. It's become so normal for my kids to get "a treat" after every game - even tho I know better. I still want my kids to enjoy treats, but I don't want all the dyes and additives that go with it.
Have you struggled to find natural skincare products that actually work and don't break the bank? You had good intentions with that 7 step skincare line you bought. But now it sits in your cupboard because you don't have the energy to stay awake to get all 7 steps on your face, right? I've got a better idea. I'm going to show you how to make your own whipped tallow body butter.
The two things all of our customers have in common (myself included) is: 1) We all grew up on the Standard American Diet. -and- 2) We're all trying to figure out how to get back to eating real, nourishing food - the way God intended. Some of it comes easy, but some of it takes effort to learn how to do new things - like getting rid of seed oils and cooking with traditional fats such as beef tallow instead.
I've got the most amazing sourdough waffle recipe for you today. We were planning our Easter brunch menu and these are a family fav so I wanted to share them with you! Read on for the recipe.
I can't believe Christmas is here! Are you ready?! We'll be busy celebrating with family over the next few days. All the gatherings = all the food. While I love a classic Christmas meal, I don't need 4 of them in a row. We decided to skip the huge meal for my family Christmas and keep things simple (so we don't all have to wear sweatpants!) Instead, we're having hot sandwiches and appetizers.
The number of families who order meat in bulk from our farm has gained huge momentum in the last few years. Moms are starting to realize it's easier to have a freezer full of meat rather than having to go to the grocery store twice a week for what they need. But since it's still a new concept for many families, there's always a lot of questions about how it works. As your farmer, I'm here to answer any questions you have and make the process as easy as possible.
A few days ago an overwhelmed new mom reached out to me looking for advice. One of the accounts she follows on Instagram was talking about the dangers of eating seed oils. Until having a baby, she never questioned the food she's been eating. But she was so bothered by what she was hearing so she started doing her own research. Like so many people who start digging into the food system, she felt helpless and overwhelmed. She quickly realized seed oils are in just about everything we eat.
What's your go to for supper on busy weeknights? We've got tacos on repeat here. I love how easy ground beef is, but sometimes I need a more hearty meal (but I want it to be just as easy!) Would you believe me if I told you there was something even easier than ground beef in your freezer? It's the roasts from your 1/4 cow or 1/2 hog. If you've got roasts in your freezer that you don't know what to do with, I'm here to fix that.
