I can’t believe Farm Day is just one short week away!

The Miller’s team has been working hard to bring this event to you, and we are so excited to welcome you on the farm. 

We have a new addition to Farm Day this year - 2 talks by myself and farmer Aaron. They’ll happen under the tent, in the pasture. 

Here are the topics:

The History of Raw Milk and Today’s Raw Milk Laws (11am)

People have been drinking raw milk for thousands of years, but it didn’t start becoming vilified until the late 1800s. What changed? Why did this happen? How did policymakers, businesses, and consumers respond? And, why is 1987 such an important year? We’ll explore the history of raw milk, the current laws, and what it all means for you as a consumer.

Natural Farming in a Conventional World (1:30pm)

Miller’s Bio Farm is all about providing you the highest quality, most natural and nutritious foods possible. We love what we do, but it’s definitely NOT easy. Why? We are operating in a “system” that has different goals and different values. What struggles, challenges, and initiatives has Miller’s Bio Farm faced? How have they worked through it so far? What’s coming next? What do consumers need to know when shopping for natural foods?

Gee, writing all this is getting me even more hyped up. I’m so looking forward to having meaningful conversations and getting to know you better.

Did you buy your tickets yet? I’d LOVE to see you at Farm Day <3

More from the blog

A2 beef vs A2 dairy. What's the difference? One doesn't even exist in the US.

Every once in a while, a customer sees that we offer A2/A2 dairy and asks, "Do you sell A2 beef?" When this happens, I let them know that A2 beef isn't a thing... at least not in the United States. But, A2/A2 dairy is. The dairy vs. beef classifications are based on two completely separate things. One has to do with marbling in meat, and the other has to do with the type of protein in milk. Here's the explanation of both.

What's in our natural egg feed? And why is it in there anyway?

Our egg farmers recently switched to a new, natural, and 100% honest feed supplier. We are thrilled that they'll work with us to create a corn & soy free feed that fits our natural requirements. Here are answers to common questions about the feed as well as the nitty gritty details about the feed ingredients.

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.
