As you undoubtedly know, the coronavirus pandemic is affecting people everywhere

At this time more than ever, farmer Aaron’s job is really important. He’s a source of local, nutrient-dense food that can help boost your body’s natural strengths. 

Aaron’s vision is to end sickness by enhancing health, nutrition, and happiness. His purpose is to inspire a generation of healthy children and reduce healthcare costs. Perhaps this is one way forward as humanity grapples with the threat of major disease…?

Farmer Aaron is taking the current coronavirus seriously and is implementing additional safety policies on the farm.

Here are the safety protocols the farm has always followed:

  • Maintaining meticulously clean equipment and work areas that are cleaned after use with an antimicrobial soap.
  • Ensuring his animals eat a healthy natural diet and live a healthy active lifestyle. In turn, this means his animals will be naturally healthy.
  • Following rigorous milk safety standards.
  • Employees wash hands with soap and water regularly.

And here are some additional safety protocols the farm is following:

  • Any farm employee that is showing any symptoms of sickness will stay home and not return to work until they are well for 24 hours.
  • All farm employees will cough and sneeze into their elbow.
  • All farm employees will wash hands with soap and water before starting work, before and after handling food, after using the bathroom, after sneezing or coughing, after handling waste, and after eating and drinking.
  • All farm employees will wear gloves when handling products and packing orders.

Aaron is so happy to provide you with real nutrient-dense foods. Ordering is open for next week. The farmer will do everything within his power to remain a reliable food source for you. 

Amidst this crisis, we hope that you can find happiness and peace, reducing stress which is so important to healing. We hope you can continue on your real food journey, nourishing your body so it can in turn heal itself.

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.
