I’ve been a Miller’s customer for 8+ years and an employee for 4+ years. Over this time, I’ve watched the farm grow into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. 

I’ve been consistently amazed by the kindness, generosity, and unparalleled work ethic of farmer Aaron and his team. Here are some little examples:

  • The farm is always looking to please customers, no matter what it takes, no questions asked. In fact, farmer Aaron bought the book Amaze Every Customer Every Time for each employee!
  • Any time I’m on the farm and need anything, I can ask any staff and they say, “Yes!”
  • One time, I was at the farm and locked my keys in the car. No worries. The farmer’s wife served my family dinner, and a neighbor even came to try to help open the doors.
  • At Farm Day this year, Aaron’s sons Ben and John made sure that every kid got a pony ride if they wanted one.
  • Aaron’s daughter Martha often makes bouquets to give to pickup location leaders and even customers.
  • Farmer Aaron actually loves getting your meat orders out of the freezer at 3:30am on Monday morning!

I know, I know. I’m making the farm sound like a work utopia where nothing goes wrong. Nope. That’s certainly not true, particularly right now. In fact...

The farm staff need some help right now. Let’s call it a morale boost.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The farm staff LOVE what they do. But, they also have a very hard job. And, considering the lack of labor in Lancaster County right now, they’ve been working overtime to get you the freshest, highest quality food each week.

So, I have a little idea. Since a main tenet of Miller’s is to please customers and boost their wellbeing, I’m asking customers to do the same right back.

You have three options to give the farm staff a virtual high five:

  1. Leave a Google Review.
  2. Leave a comment below.
  3. Shop now. When you’re placing the order, leave a positive message in the “Special Instructions” box on the checkout page.

No matter which you choose, I’ll make sure your message gets passed along!

Thanks for your support of Miller’s Bio Farm! And thanks for you help spreading love and positivity <3

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.
