Reflections for the New Year
Here we are. Heading into the new year. As most of us do, the farmer finds himself reflecting upon 2019.

It’s that magical time of year when we think a lot about giving and getting to know your family and friends a bit better. Yet, you may not think about all you give and learn the whole year long. It happens every day and every time you buy and eat real food from our farm. In this honor, I wrote a poem for you.
In honor of the farmer sending some beef cattle to the processor and re-upping our beef inventory this week, I’d like to dispel some myths about beef farming. These days, so many people have beef with beef. The general consensus is that by eating beef you are killing the planet. However, that blanket statement is simply not true. It’s not about what a farmer’s raising but rather about how the farmer’s raising it.
We held a major pork sale last week. I was surprised by the amount of people who reported that, although they would like to participate and get a great deal on our amazing pork, they simply didn’t have room in their freezer. This really got me thinking. Why do so many people have no space in their freezer?
When your freezer is filled with a variety of pork from our When Pigs Fly Pork Sale, there’s so many dishes you can make. Here are some recipes to inspire your cooking!
We have some really exciting news! Our first ever When Pigs Fly Pork Sale opens this Monday, November 22 and will close 7 days later on Sunday, December 1 at 11:59 PM EST. Sign up and get more info.
First, let’s get this straight. Bone broth is not a regular stock or broth. It’s the superhero of stocks. Some call is liquid gold. Where stock and broth are boiled for a few hours, bone broth is simmered for up to 24 hours. Bone broth should also contain vinegar, which draws additional nutrients from the bones. There are a lot of amazing benefits of bone broth, but today we’re going to focus on one - collagen!
If you’re reading this email, then you likely know the importance of food and its effects on your health. However, eating well by sourcing food from small farms can be expensive and consume a good portion of your budget. Many customers have reported to me the desire to buy more small farm food but are held back by the prices. I’m hoping I can help this week.
Being in the dairy business, we hear a lot of rumors about milk on the farm. One particular rumor really got us curious: You can live on only milk. So, is this true? We had to look into it more.
It’s that time of year when we start to plan for Thanksgiving. Where will you be? Who will be coming? And, most importantly, what will you be cooking? Of course you’ll be eating turkey. Yum! You can preorder one now!
