If you are an active member with us, you may have noticed that many of our meat products disappeared in the past month. What’s up with that? Let me explain. The farmer has been under intense scrutiny recently, and one of the agencies looking into his practices is the USDA. The farmer’s ethical and regenerative farming practices are certainly on point, but the USDA had concern with his meat processors.
It’s been a while, and we are so happy to be sending out our weekly news again :) Spring is here. It’s a time for re-birth, for coming out of hibernation, and for joy, despite any hardship you may be facing. As Ann Bradstreet said, “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant."

At the WAPF Conference last weekend, it was wonderful to be in my bubble. Everyone had an interest in a junk-free lifestyle - from nourishing food to EMF prevention. I was immersed in knowledge about the benefits of eating traditional diet: lots of animal fat, lots of animal protein, lots of veggies and fermented foods, and a little carbs. It’s the diet that humans evolved thousands of years to eat. So I get back from the conference, and then comes Thanksgiving. If you’re talking about traditional foods, Thanksgiving dinner should fit right in. But… one of our family members is vegan. Gasp!
Whether every few days or every few weeks, meal planning is when you think about what you’ll be eating in advance, make a plan, and stick to it.

Figuring out a good system that works for you can take a few tries and can always be refined. Here are some strategies that will help optimize or make meal planning easier.
