Please don’t be confused when you visit the store and it looks different. It’s still the same lovely farm! We just have an awesome new look.

Our clip-art logo will soon be history. We are launching our new look right now!

It all started when I was on the farm a couple weeks ago. The farmer’s son Ben (11yo) leant his hat to a cow while she was waiting to be milked.

A cow wearing a hat. It’s a symbol of the relationship between the farmer and his animals. 

You see, it’s really the animals that wear the hats on our farm. They are the ones who control the action. And, it’s the farmer’s responsibility to listen and respond. 

There are a few things you may notice when you look at the new logo.

Why is the Jersey cow happy? Because it’s surrounded by alfalfa! 

Although it may look that way, the farmer’s not really growing “grass” in his fields. It’s mostly alfalfa! 

Alfalfa is a nitrogen-fixing legume. It’s a high quality forage packed with protein, minerals, and vitamins. A ton of alfalfa contains as much total digestible nutrients as 25 tons of corn!

Alfalfa makes happy, healthy cows. 

“Inspiring Healthy Generations” is farmer Aaron’s motto. 

Its Aaron’s mission is to produce real farm fresh, nutrient dense, great tasting food. His vision is to end sickness by enhancing health, nutrition, and happiness. And his purpose is to inspire a generation of healthy children and reduce healthcare costs.

Aaron knows that his work is only the beginning. Farmers and consumers need to continue onward for generations to increase the health and happiness of the soil, the animals, the food, the farmers, and you the consumers!

Thanks for your support, and enjoy the food!

PS: It will take some time to fully transition to the new logo. Digital content on the store is easy. But all printed materials on the farm will slowly be phased out and replaced. Thanks for your patience :)

*Update 12/3/25: Although our dairy farmers do grow some alfalfa, it's not the primary forage anymore. It's more a diverse mix of grasses, legumes, and other plants.

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.
