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!

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 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.

I don't know about you, but it's tradition for us to have turkey on Thanksgiving. Truth be told...I don’t even like turkey and there are many things I'd much rather eat than turkey. (Sorry mom) One of these things is the amazing beef roast I made last week. It was so good Tom actually groaned the first bite. True story. So I got to thinking…if it’s good enough for a groan, it certainly is good enough for Thanksgiving, right?! (Can you honestly say you’ve ever heard anyone let out a groan after taking their first bite of turkey??….just sayin’) This Thanksgiving here’s how you can simplify and $ave with making a beef roast instead of turkey.
Comparing feedlot beef to a grass-fed beef is like comparing apples to oranges. Just like you don’t eat an apple the same way you eat an orange... you don’t cook grass-fed beef the same as feedlot beef. Here’s 7 tips you must know before cooking grass-fed beef.
Have you noticed that your fresh raw milk is...uhh...yellow?? You’re probably thinking WTH? (family friendly here on the farm) You may have had thoughts like… “Is this safe to drink?” “Something must be seriously wrong with this milk because milk should be white...” “What have I gotten myself into?” “Could someone please explain to me what’s going on here?!” There are some SERIOUS health benefits happenin' with raw grass-fed milk - it literally is liquid gold. Let's take a closer look....
It’s hard for me to share this with you because part of me feels like a failure. The perfectionist in me tells me I should have perfect health, but the reality is, I don’t. I have a feeling I'm not the only frazzled mom struggling with this.
