Planning to have enough CORN & SOY FREE EGGS for our amazing customers can be a challenge. 

First off, there’s supply. So many factors can affect how many eggs a flock produces - their age, the weather, the feed, the sun’s angle, the amount of daylight, etc. And then, as chickens get older, egg farmers need to switch to a new flock, and the timing isn’t always perfect.

And second, there’s demand. We love welcoming new people to our community of farms, but when an unexpected large increase in egg needs happens, we always want to have enough to go around.

Some of you may remember the egg shortage earlier this year. We hustled and quickly partnered with some local neighborhood farms to make sure our customers had consistent access to pasture raised eggs. 

An unintended consequence of this was that we developed a new longterm egg relationship with Harmony Acres in Gap, PA. And this is awesome, since it allows us to more easily keep eggs in stock all of the time. 

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Harmony Acres last week. The property was just so beautiful. Here’s a photo, which doesn’t do the picturesque view justice.

From this point forward, the vendor for our CORN & SOY FREE EGGS will be listed as “Our Egg Farmers”. The eggs you receive may come from one of our two egg farmers: Wholesome Living Acres or Harmony Acres. 

We are 100% comfortable with this since both farms uphold the same exact standards. The chickens are pasture raised (like in the picture above). When the pasture is growing, they are moved to fresh pasture daily.

In addition to the bugs and seeds they forage, the chickens on both farms are fed the same GMO-free, corn-free, and soy-free feed. The feed contains a specially formulated blend of wheat, peas, barley, fishmeal, flax seed, kelp, and a nutri-balancer which has kelp, vitamins, and minerals. 

You can READ MORE ABOUT WHY CORN & SOY FREE IS IMPORTANT TO US HERE. With the exception of our pork (which is soy-free only), all of our animals are corn & soy free!

And, of course, the chickens are never given drugs of any kinds, including vaccines and antibiotics. 

The result of these stellar egg farming practices? The most naturally healthy and happy birds, the most orange yolks (without any colorants added to the feed), and the most nutrient-dense eggs possible.

Shopping for butter? Wondering what makes "the best" natural butter?

It's that time of year when you want to stock up on butter. The large amounts of cookies and pies that fill my house with delicious flavors is impending and inevitable. When it comes to butter and baking, quality matters. A lot. It affects the color, the texture, and the flavor of your baked goods. And, if you're a natural food shopper, there are some extra things to look for in your butter. I want to make sure I'm making food with the best nutrition and least toxins possible.

The drama and quick problem solving at the Wise Traditions Conference.

Miller's Bio Farm attended the Weston A. Price Foundation's annual Wise Traditions Conference in Orlando, FL last weekend. Overall, we had an awesome time. But... the trip didn't come without some food freedom drama. This time (for once), it had nothing to do with raw milk or the laws. It was the Marriot's policies that held us back.Here's the story...After a 15 hour drive, the farm team arrived on Thursday with a trailer filled with all of our amazing natural food. At every other event we've attended, we've been able to keep perishables in the venue's cooler and freezer. Not this time! We were told by the hotel that we cannot store it inside.We couldn't let the food go to waste! We scrambled and rented a refrigerated truck that evening.At this point, we knew there was going to be more trouble.The next morning, we were told the reason why.The Marriot does not allow any dairy, meat, or ferments to be sold, served, or given away that's not from one of their vendors (like Cisco). We couldn't even keep a sealed example product on the table to display. It was a liability thing (in other words, corporate greed).And this was despite the fact that all of our food is 100% certified and legal. And, we were required to have $5M worth of insurance to be there. It was just awful. They wouldn't allow a waiver (they said there wasn't enough time). They didn't care if the food went to waste (not their problem). They didn't sympathize with the fact that the people there simply won't or physically can't eat the hotel's conventional food (not sure what's happened to humanity).Our food was not allowed on premises. So we thought fast. On Friday morning, we quickly opened a pickup location outside the hotel. It was a 30 second walk away, about 2 feet off their property on the side of the road. So... people purchased at our booth inside and then walked outside to get their food.Kinda hilarious... but within the Marriot's rules.We even hosted a super fun milk and cookies party outside at the pickup location!At the same time, many conference attendees motivated and spoke with hotel management. I think even Congressman Massie (a keynote speaker) reached out. They explained why we were all gathered together, the importance of real food from small farms, and how the Marriot's policies are a major food freedom issue.The next day, the Marriot decided to "turn a blind eye". We closed our short-lived pickup location, and our booth was back to what we planned!! We even made a butter pyramid and had an ice cream party to celebrate 🥳 As a community of real food eaters, we affected change... albeit small and for one weekend. It gives me hope for the future of food. To anyone who spoke up, shared on social media, or helped scoop 500+ cups of ice cream... thank you!!!Has your food access been held back by laws or policies, either private or public? What food freedom issues are important to you? What would you like to see change?I'd love to hear you from. Comment below (no account required) or contact us.-----PS: We'd love to start pickup locations in Florida and make our food more affordable and accessible in the sunshine state. If you have a spot (or can connect us with a spot) with refrigeration, let me know!
