How much would you love an extra 2.6 hours per year?

If you’re a cheese eater, there’s an easy way to save 2.6 hours per year!

That’s enough time for dinner and a movie. A yoga class. Reading an entire book. A 7-mile hike. Or extra sleep. 

All you need to do is buy shredded cheese instead of shredding it yourself.

I estimate that getting an 8oz cheese out of the fridge, finding the grater, grating the cheese, and cleaning up takes about 3 minutes total. Since I use grated cheese weekly, I multiplied by 52 weeks to figure I spend about 2.6 hours per year GRATING CHEESE.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind a little elbow grease, especially when cooking. But, my hold up with shredded cheese has always been the options available

Conventional store bought shredded cheese is NOT simply cheese. There are other odd ingredients, too.

Anti-caking agents like potato starch, tapioca starch, or cellulose powder (AKA wood pulp) are added to prevent the cheese from clumping. 

Mold inhibitors like Natamycin are added, too. 

All of these are highly processed ingredients, far from what nature intended.

But now, my reality has changed with Miller’s shredded A2 cheese. There’s only one ingredient - cheese!

And, it’s cheese made naturally from 100% grass-fed A2 milk. No added flavor or color. Just milk, culture, rennet, and Celtic sea salt.

I keep it in my freezer, which means I don’t worry about mold. 

Since it comes in a resealable bag, I can easily use little bits at a time. 

And, I certainly don’t mind breaking clumps apart from time to time.

There are so many wonderful uses for shredded cheese!

I highly recommend joining the time saving movement with clean unadulterated shredded A2 cheese!

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 to put beef on your table that you can trace to a single pasture.

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.
