Feeding a family on a budget these days is tough. We're all feeling the pinch of record high inflation. But, with a little extra effort in the kitchen, I can help you make your dollars stretch and get more meals out of what you've got. One of my favorite ways to do this is to make Homemade Bone Broth. Not only is it delicious, it will only cost you pennies to make AND it's so good for you.
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared our story and in such uncertain times I’d like to share our story of hope, perseverance, and a desire to do good in this world. You can read all about our journey, here.
If you’ve never put any thought into where your eggs are coming from I can assure you it ain’t pretty. If crowded, dirty, inhumane living conditions doesn't sit right with you then perhaps you should be seeking out pastured farm fresh eggs. But before you jump into farm fresh eggs there are some differences we should cover so you know what to expect.
I’d like to provide some food for thought on how cows and regenerative agriculture play a pivotal role in helping save our planet and reversing climate change.
Surely by now we’ve all seen the warnings that the World Health Organization claims cured and processed meats are strongly linked to colon cancer, leading them to classify processed meat as a carcinogen. Despite theis warning, it’s estimated that each American consumes 18 pounds of bacon each year - and probably feel a little guilty while eating those 18 pounds. These days people are putting more thought into the food they’re eating. I wondered if that was the reason we’re seeing so many “uncured” options these days? Is eating "uncured" meat a better option? This article breaks down the differences between cured and uncured meat.
Imagine you went to work every day and at the end of the year you actually lost money. Would you continue to work there? Unfortunately, that situation is a reality for many small farmers today. We’re at a point where the little guys can’t compete with huge companies that want to dominate our food production. These are the same companies that are pushing farmers to use......
These little piggies went to market…. When you call in your cutting instructions for your pastured pork one of the choices you’ll have to make is if you’d like the lard from your pig. I’m going to assume that you’ll likely say no because you have no idea what to do with it. I highly recommend taking the lard and rendering it. Not only is it great for cooking, there’s some great health benefits as well. Check it out!
I went from severe leaky gut with many food intolerances to a healed gut lining. I still can’t believe it. There’s been a lot of questions about what I did to heal so I’m going to give you a quick recap on my treatment and then provide you with the most amazing & informative podcast I’ve ever listened to on leaky gut.
Do you want to hear the funniest, most ridiculous story I've ever heard? There's a pretty good chance you'll actually chuckle out loud...it's that good. A few weeks ago, one of our loyal egg customers was kind enough to make her colleague some of our eggs. Let's call this colleague well educated...very well educated. After looking at the eggs on his plate he was rather concerned and wanted to know what we injected our eggs with to get them to be that color.
After I shared about my struggles with Leaky Gut I had lots of emails from people wanting to know more. A huge thank you to Dr. Jodi Kunkel, my Naturopath, who is finally helping me heal (not just cover up symptoms) and helping share all of this information with you! Take it away Dr. Jodi!!
A few weeks ago I received some hard news to swallow. It was a phone call from my Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Jodi Kunkel. While I don’t think of acne itself as a rather life threatening diagnosis I knew it meant something was still out of balance in my body. I was about to find out just how out of balance my body really was.
If you haven’t noticed, I typically don’t post about our failures on Facebook or Instagram. Mostly because I’m not one that likes to admit I’m wrong, let alone announce it to the whole world. That’s why it took me a long time to muster up the courage to post them. My deepest apologies if I’ve fooled you into believing we’re living in a fantasy land...it’s far from a fantasy some days! I’m not sharing our failures because I’m looking for sympathy. I’m sharing them to give you a glimpse into what really goes on behind the scenes around here.
