Itās that magical time of year when we think a lot about giving and getting to know your family and friends a bit better. Yet, you may not think about all you give and learn the whole year long. It happens every day and every time you buy and eat real food from our farm. In this honor, I wrote a poem for you.
In honor of the farmer sending some beef cattle to the processor and re-upping our beef inventory this week, Iād like to dispel some myths about beef farming. These days, so many people have beef with beef. The general consensus is that by eating beef you are killing the planet. However, that blanket statement is simply not true. Itās not about what a farmerās raising but rather about how the farmerās raising it.
We held a major pork sale last week. I was surprised by the amount of people who reported that, although they would like to participate and get a great deal on our amazing pork, they simply didnāt have room in their freezer. This really got me thinking. Why do so many people have no space in their freezer?
When your freezer is filled with a variety of pork, thereās so many dishes you can make. Here are some recipes to inspire your cooking!
First, letās get this straight. Bone broth is not a regular stock or broth. Itās the superhero of stocks. Some call is liquid gold. Where stock and broth are boiled for a few hours, bone broth is simmered for up to 24 hours or pressure cooked for at least 90 minutes. Bone broth should also contain vinegar, which draws additional nutrients from the bones. There are a lot of amazing benefits of bone broth, but today weāre going to focus on one - collagen!
If youāre reading this email, then you likely know the importance of food and its effects on your health. However, eating well by sourcing food from small farms can be expensive and consume a good portion of your budget. Many customers have reported to me the desire to buy more small farm food but are held back by the prices. Iām hoping I can help this week.
Being in the dairy business, we hear a lot of rumors about milk on the farm. One particular rumor really got us curious: You can live on only milk. So, is this true? We had to look into it more.
When I tell people that I work for an Amish farmer, they sometimes respond, āThey make the best food!ā Then, they usually go on to tell a story of how they ate an amazing whoopie pie from an Amish market, how they visited Lancaster County and ate at a yummy restaurant, or how they only order food from Amish farmers. There seems to be a mentality that, since the Amish are more connected to nature, they would automatically make food thatās more natural and better for you. However, thatās simply not the case. Let me explain.
There are an array of confusing and subjective food labels in stores - Prime, Choice or Select beef, Grade A or Grade B maple syrup, free range or pastured eggs, etc. These labels are all based on a human making a subjective assessment of the product. The lines that divide each are blurry. When it comes to milk, the A2/A2 label is objective and scientific.
I got a question from a customer last week - what is the fat content in your ground beef? She wanted to make sure it was lean enough to feed to cats. This really got me thinking. Why and how do we even know the fat content of ground beef, and should we care? Letās dive a little deeper.
