The farm finished reviewing last year’s metrics and made its budget for 2023. And, we came to a disappointing but necessary conclusion. 

We sadly need to raise prices. 

It’s never an easy decision to make. It never feels good. But, if we want to continue on with our mission to be an amazing and reliable source for farm direct, nutrient dense food, then we need to be as environmentally sustainable as we are financially sustainable.

There’s no one big thing that’s causing this increase. It’s just the cost of every little thing going up bit by bit. 

As you probably know, this is happening everywhere. Whether it’s because of the war in Ukraine, supply chain issues, or disastrous weather, food is more expensive. In supermarkets over the past year or so, the price of fruits and vegetables increased by about 10%, milk rose about 15%, and eggs soared to over 30% more. 

The good news is that our price increase will NOT be as big as food prices rising elsewhere. The exact amount will vary based on your delivery option, but it will be less than half of the average 14% rise in supermarket prices. 

And, another good thing is that we are giving you a heads up. No surprises. I hope this helps you plan and prepare. 

We are promising you that from now until January 29 we are freezing prices. But, after that, you will notice changes.

We will honor whatever price is in your cart when you checkout. So, if you want to purchase with our current prices, I recommend placing an order now or anytime on or before January 29. 

How are you feeling about rising prices everywhere? Has it affected your life? What do you foresee coming in the future?

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.
