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.

Shopping for butter? Wondering what makes "the best" natural butter?

It's that time of year when you want to stock up on butter. The large amounts of cookies and pies that fill my house with delicious flavors is impending and inevitable. When it comes to butter and baking, quality matters. A lot. It affects the color, the texture, and the flavor of your baked goods. And, if you're a natural food shopper, there are some extra things to look for in your butter. I want to make sure I'm making food with the best nutrition and least toxins possible.

The drama and quick problem solving at the Wise Traditions Conference.

Miller's Bio Farm attended the Weston A. Price Foundation's annual Wise Traditions Conference in Orlando, FL last weekend. Overall, we had an awesome time. But... the trip didn't come without some food freedom drama. This time (for once), it had nothing to do with raw milk or the laws. It was the Marriot's policies that held us back.Here's the story...After a 15 hour drive, the farm team arrived on Thursday with a trailer filled with all of our amazing natural food. At every other event we've attended, we've been able to keep perishables in the venue's cooler and freezer. Not this time! We were told by the hotel that we cannot store it inside.We couldn't let the food go to waste! We scrambled and rented a refrigerated truck that evening.At this point, we knew there was going to be more trouble.The next morning, we were told the reason why.The Marriot does not allow any dairy, meat, or ferments to be sold, served, or given away that's not from one of their vendors (like Cisco). We couldn't even keep a sealed example product on the table to display. It was a liability thing (in other words, corporate greed).And this was despite the fact that all of our food is 100% certified and legal. And, we were required to have $5M worth of insurance to be there. It was just awful. They wouldn't allow a waiver (they said there wasn't enough time). They didn't care if the food went to waste (not their problem). They didn't sympathize with the fact that the people there simply won't or physically can't eat the hotel's conventional food (not sure what's happened to humanity).Our food was not allowed on premises. So we thought fast. On Friday morning, we quickly opened a pickup location outside the hotel. It was a 30 second walk away, about 2 feet off their property on the side of the road. So... people purchased at our booth inside and then walked outside to get their food.Kinda hilarious... but within the Marriot's rules.We even hosted a super fun milk and cookies party outside at the pickup location!At the same time, many conference attendees motivated and spoke with hotel management. I think even Congressman Massie (a keynote speaker) reached out. They explained why we were all gathered together, the importance of real food from small farms, and how the Marriot's policies are a major food freedom issue.The next day, the Marriot decided to "turn a blind eye". We closed our short-lived pickup location, and our booth was back to what we planned!! We even made a butter pyramid and had an ice cream party to celebrate 🥳 As a community of real food eaters, we affected change... albeit small and for one weekend. It gives me hope for the future of food. To anyone who spoke up, shared on social media, or helped scoop 500+ cups of ice cream... thank you!!!Has your food access been held back by laws or policies, either private or public? What food freedom issues are important to you? What would you like to see change?I'd love to hear you from.
