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.
Last weekend I stood in my kitchen and watched my kids rake leaf piles while giant snowflakes were gently falling on them. It was such a perfect day it actually looked like something out of a movie. They spent hours outside and then ran to the house (giggling the whole way) begging for hot chocolate. While they were drinking their hot chocolate, they reminded me how much they loved this "special treat". A memory from their childhood they'll remember forever. I wanted to share our favorite recipe with you because I know your kids will love it as much as mine do.
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.
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.
