It’s that time of year. I’m happy to share the farm’s 2022 intentions. After all, it all wouldn’t be possible without your amazing support!
Sustainable Packaging
This was also an intention of 2021. Although we made good progress, we’re certainly not 100% there yet. And, pandemic-related supply chain issues are adding an extra challenge.
You can look forward to butter wrapped in paper, labels that can be easily removed to make reusing jars more enjoyable, more products offered in glass, and other sustainable packaging options.
Expanding the Cured Meat Selection
This may include products like salami, soppressata, pepperoni, and kielbasa. And, they’ll all be made with transparent and natural ingredients. You know, the kind of ingredients that you can pronounce and know exactly what they are.
This is such a tough thing to find in a store (in some places it’s nonexistent), and we’re so happy to have finally found a processor to work with on this.
Introducing Pasteurized Dairy
I know, you may be thinking, “Wait, don’t you support raw dairy!?” Well, yes, we absolutely do! But, even more important is that we support our customers’ choices.
The fact is that not everyone is comfortable with or is able to consume raw dairy. Since we support optimal nutrition for all, we will also be offering the highest quality, minimally processed, pasteurized A2 milk and more pasteurized dairy products, too.
Miller’s pasteurized A2 dairy will be made with the same amazing 100% grass-fed and 100% A2 milk from happy, naturally healthy animals… just heated 145-180F to kill any potentially harmful pathogens. We’ll make sure to make the difference between raw and pasteurized very obvious on the store.
Keeping up with Inflation
Inflation is real and is definitely affecting the farm. Prices of boxes, jars, bags, fuel… just about everything… has gone up significantly, and we expect it to continue to do so. Unfortunately, this means price increases. We never like to do this, but it’s our unfortunate reality.
Farmer Aaron has made a plan for 2022 for gradual price increases, in different categories, spaced throughout the year. He will keep a close watch on his numbers and only continue to increase prices if necessary.
We thank you so much for your support. The Miller’s team knows how very important its mission is and is honored to inspire healthy generations with farm direct food.
