Farmer Aaron got his first grill ever. Wow! He’s ready to explore grilling this summer, and would love to take you on this adventure with him.

A tried and true meat for the grill is a nice steak. Miller’s has a variety of 100% grass fed and finished steak options for you.


Now, if you’re new to grilling steaks, I highly suggest using a meat thermometer when you get started. This will help you get the perfect cook. I also recommend reading this article about when to salt your steak. Super important!

Steak is pretty basic, but there’s a sophisticated yet simple way to dress it up - compound butter! 


It takes your backyard BBQ to 5 Michelin star level (OK I might be exaggerating a bit… but it is pretty darn delicious).

Compound butter is softened butter, whipped with herbs and spices and can be sweet or savory. The flavor combinations are endless. Think garlic and chives, rosemary and thyme, orange or lemon zest, and honey and cinnamon. Mmmmm.

With steak, I prefer to go savory. Check out this recipe.


Garlic Herb Compound Butter Recipe

When your steak is done, serve it with a slice of compound butter on top. It will drip off the sides and add a punch of flavor and a boost of juiciness to your meal. 

If steak isn’t your thing, you can use compound butter on so many things - bread, veggies, grilled mushrooms, and corn on the cob.

If steak is your thing, you may want to take advantage of some great bundle deals the farmer has now. 


You can save a few dollars per pound on a 10 pack of flat iron steaks, a 20 pack of NY strip steaks, a 10 pack of ranch steaks, or a 10 pack of sirloin steaks. Each bundle comes in individually sealed packages so you can keep it frozen and defrost as needed.

A2 beef vs A2 dairy. What's the difference? One doesn't even exist in the US.

Every once in a while, a customer sees that we offer A2/A2 dairy and asks, "Do you sell A2 beef?" When this happens, I let them know that A2 beef isn't a thing... at least not in the United States. But, A2/A2 dairy is. The dairy vs. beef classifications are based on two completely separate things. One has to do with marbling in meat, and the other has to do with the type of protein in milk. Here's the explanation of both.

What's in our natural egg feed? And why is it in there anyway?

Our egg farmers recently switched to a new, natural, and 100% honest feed supplier. We are thrilled that they'll work with us to create a corn & soy free feed that fits our natural requirements. Here are answers to common questions about the feed as well as the nitty gritty details about the feed ingredients.

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.
