Miller’s Bio Farm is so proud to produce the highest quality foods. We know our beef is awesome. Here are 5 reasons why Miller’s beef is the best.


1- 100% grass fed and finished beef has fabulous color and flavor. 


You know beef is fed 100% grass when it has a yellow fat and a nutty flavor. Yes, it has taste and texture, especially when compared to conventional beef. Once you go grass fed, you can't go back. Read more about the unique color and flavor of grass-fed beef here.

2- When raised properly on regenerated soil, beef is packed with nutrients.


Beta-carotene is a natural form of vitamin A that's abundant in grass and stored in the fat of animals that eat grass. When cows are 100% grass fed, the fat is yellow because of the beta-carotene. And, when the grass is grown on regenerated soil, the beef is also loaded with Omega-3s, CLA, TVA, saturated fat, carotenoids, and trace minerals. It's a nutrient-dense and nourishing food.

3- Raising truly pastured 100% grass-fed beef improves the soil and the environment.


All that manure makes for excellent and biodiverse pastures that need little input. The soil at Miller’s Bio Farm gets better and better every year. Healthy soil plays a key role in adapting to climate change and in the carbon cycle. You might be asking - What about CO2? What about methane? What about water consumption? If you raise beef conventionally these are big problems. Read more about how beef farmers can save the world here. 

4- Our beef is processed at small and old timey USDA processors.


Our beef is processed at two small and local processors. They treat animals humanely and work with us to maintain the integrity of our naturally raised animals. Get the inside scoop on one of our meat processors here.

5- Our beef is frozen when fresh. 


This gives you the freshest, safest, highest quality meat a small farm can provide. It also limits waste and lets you save big on bundle deals by stocking your freezer. Find out more about why you want frozen meat here.

Need a meal plan for this week?


Ooh I have so many ideas!!! A simple pot roast, hamburgers, spaghetti and meatballs, beef sausage and peppers, steaks on the grill, braised beef short ribs, and soup with beef broth.

Going on an outing?


Beef stix and beef jerky are awesome snacks on the go. I bring them on every hike!

Cheap beef is coming to the US, but where is it actually coming from?

Beef is more expensive than it's ever been, and the government's answer is to flood the market with hundreds of millions of pounds of imported beef. But "cheaper" comes with a question no price tag will answer: where did this beef actually come from? Here's what's really driving prices, why importing won't fix it, and how you can put beef on your table that you can trace.

Why your milk should be a little yellow and what it has to do with your eyes

Pour our raw milk next to the grocery store stuff and you'll spot it immediately: ours is golden. That color isn't food dye or a fluke, it's lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids your eyes depend on and your body can't make on its own. So we sent both milks to a third-party lab at Utah State. The store-bought grass-fed milk came back with zero lutein. Not less. None. In this post, we get into where that pigment comes from, why heat and skimming wipe it out, and how to check your own cream line at the kitchen window.

We sent our grass-fed raw milk to a university lab. Here's how it compared.

We've always believed that real food should be able to stand on its own, no marketing fluff required. So this spring, we did something we find deeply satisfying: we sent our milk to an independent lab and asked them to tell us exactly what's in it. Not just our milk, either. We tested three milks side by side, ours, a grain-supplemented raw A2/A2 milk from another farm, and one of the most widely available organic pasteurized milks on the market. We wanted an honest picture, and that's exactly what we got.
