Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop. LEARN A WHOLE LOT MORE.

The pork dilemma of blood, sustainability, and health

Pork is the most widely eaten meat, making up 38% of meat production worldwide. Historically, pork has been a staple in traditional diets for thousands of years. Wild hogs were hunted in the wild and then eventually domesticated. Also historically, pork has been banned in cultures and religions for thousands of year. What’s the big deal?

3 smart reasons to proudly drink grass-fed milk

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful spring! Having you been watching the grass grow? The cows have officially switched from hay to fresh grass... and here comes my beloved yellow, nutrient-dense, spring milk. I pour my family grass-fed milk with confidence. You should, too.

Why are you trading consistency for quality with fresh, unprocessed dairy?

We know how much you value providing fresh, unprocessed dairy for your family. You know, the stuff that’s humanely raised and packed with essential nutrients, fully digestible proteins, crucial enzymes, and beneficial microorganisms. That’s why our farmer makes wholesome dairy products to order every week, with minimal heating. You simply can’t find these nutrient-dense dairy products in the store.

The misguiding nature of the new A2 milk discovery means you need to talk to your farmer.

I was given a postcard for another small farm that said something like “100% Jersey cows producing A2 milk”, and this got me frustrated.

I know farming is a hard gig, and I don’t think anyone is being maliciously deceitful. I’m disappointed. Unscrupulous farmers interested in high quality nutrient-dense food should do thorough research about new products, like A2 cow dairy, and present accurate information. And conscious consumers should do the same.

If you order eggs from us, you are used to getting eggs with a deep orange yolk. But, recently, you may have gotten a few eggs with yellow yolks. Gasp! Yellow yolks?! I know it’s shocking, but this does happen around this time every year. Here’s why.

Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op gives members access to nutritious produce and other small- batch products.

As you may have noticed, we’ve had a good number of new products lately, specifically in the produce department.

We are so thankful to have this resource to connect our members with even more food produced on highly maintained and nutrient-rich soil.
