Make a fabulous blue cheese burger

I am very much enjoying my grill this summer. In my area, it’s been mostly HOT with not much rain. Perfect grilling weather! Burgers are so darn quick and easy and typically please even the pickiest eaters. It’s always good to know your family will eat the food you’ve thoughtfully sourced and mindfully prepared. And, we all know burgers are great for gatherings. The only problem with burgers is that they can get a little boring. So, why not dress it up once in a while? There are so many ways to elevate a burger. This week, I’d like to touch on my husband’s favorite - a fabulous blue cheese burger!

Make a badass homemade barbecue sauce

There’s something oh so satisfying about a delicious BBQ sauce. It’s so versatile. Add a punch of flavor to ribs, burgers, chicken, pulled anything, cocktail meatballs, salad, beans, potatoes, mushrooms, veggie skewers, and more! But, it can be challenging to find the right BBQ sauce. First, it has to align with your taste buds. Second, it has to align with your diet, And, third, it’s hard to find a store bought sauce without all the junk - fillers, emulsifiers, artificial flavors, etc. Why not make your own? It’s pretty easy but does take some time to cook down.

We are bitter. You are being duped with celery juice.

Farmer Aaron is figuring out how to continually and naturally produce his cured meat products like bacon, hams, pork sausages, beef sausages, and beef snacks without icky synthetic ingredients. Many people who produce USDA meat insist that you need to add nitrates and nitrites for safety...

Same lovely farm with an awesome new look

Please don’t be confused when you visit the store and it looks different. It’s still the same lovely farm! We just have an awesome new look. Our clip-art logo will soon be history. We are launching our new look right now! It all started when I was on the farm a couple weeks ago. The farmer’s son Ben (11yo) leant his hat to a cow while she was waiting to be milked.

How old do you need to be to raise chickens?

I visited the farm last week. It was such a nice change to my family’s “groundhog day” life for the past few months. I have three little kids, and they reported that the most exciting part of the visit was the chicks. While we were there, the farmer got 500 baby chicks and 150 baby turkey poults. Wow that’s a lot of cuteness!

We have the best sh*t

Farmer Aaron told me a fascinating story. It all started about a month ago when he had way too much manure and offered it to a neighboring conventional farm. At first, the neighboring farmer said no. Then the farmer said he’d deliver it to him. The neighboring farmer agreed. The neighboring farmer spread his manure on one half of his pasture and Miller’s manure on the other half. There was a clear divide in the pasture where the manure was spread. Over the next few weeks as the pasture grew in, there was a clear difference between the two sides. The pasture with Miller’s manure was 1-2 feet higher than the pasture with conventional manure. The neighboring farmer could see it from quite a distance. Now the neighboring farmer knows that Miller’s has the best sh*t. He wants more manure!

Is our chicken contributing to the risk for more pandemics?

There’s been a lot of talk about the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. The main theory is that the virus originated in an open air meat market in Wuhan, China and is a zoonose, meaning it’s a pathogen that transfers directly or indirectly from animals to humans... However, to me it seems that this article in the Independent has the most level headed approach. It’s not livestock in general that’s the issue - it’s industrialized meat that’s dangerous.
