Cheese is one of those unfortunately vilified foods that causes hesitation for some. First, the plant-based mainstream is pretty anti-dairy right now. And second, even though the saturated fat theories of the 1950s have more holes than Swiss, it’s been pretty difficult to convince the masses that good saturated fat actually exists.

Let’s be clear. I am NOT talking about Velveeta or any cheese that has ingredients other than milk, culture, and real salt (and maybe some natural herbs or spices or wood smoke). That excludes vegan cheese, which, with all the highly processed ingredients… well, no thanks, I’m gouda.

I have some great news - real old fashioned raw cheese is excellent for your health! You can be proud and healthy eating it daily.

There are so many reasons why. So many that I’ll keep each sharp and to the point.

According to several studies, eating 40 grams of cheese per day can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 18%. It can also protect your teeth from cavities, especially with children.

Raw cheese is a great source of calcium, healthy fat, and protein.

Raw cheese is full of beneficial bacteria and enzymes, which feeds a healthy gut microbiome and can be a cure to a lack of energy.

Raw cheese, especially made from 100% grass-fed milk, is loaded with bioavailable vitamins and minerals! These include vitamins A, D, E, K, many B-complex vitamins, selenium, zinc, beta-carotene, choline, phosphorus, riboflavin, and biotin.

Raw cheese contains specialized immunity components like lactoferrin, which protects against virus infection, and IGA immunoglobulins, the most common antibody. It helps boost our immune system!

And, on top of all this, Miller’s Bio Farm cheese is 100% A2. The A2 beta-casein protein is more digestible than the A1 beta-casein protein, found in nearly all American cow milk and cheese.

We’re here to make real healthy cheese easily part of your diet. And, it’s about to get a bit cheesier. Praise Cheeses!

We’re so happy to introduce shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese today! It’s simply cheese that’s shredded to save you time. You won’t find any preservatives or anti-caking agents with Miller’s. Be one of the first to buy shredded cheese on the store now! 

Imagine all the possibilities with shredded cheese - pizza, tacos, dips, casseroles, quesadillas, mac and cheese, cheesy soup.

What’s your favorite cheese, and how do you like to eat it? I’d love to hear from you!

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.
