Spring is here. The grass is growing. You know what that means. Itâs time to make hay! I had the pleasure to visit the farm this week. The sun is shining. The grass is certainly green and at least two feet tall. Yup, itâs time to make hay. Hay is integral to agriculture. Itâs how you can sustain animals in the colder months. And, you need to plan ahead. As the saying goes, you need to âmake hay when the sun shines.â
The farmer launched a GoFundMe campaign last week to raise money for a bottling machine so he can lawfully bottle and sell raw milk in Pennsylvania. And, it was a big success! The farmer surpassed his $15,000 goal! The farmer will use these funds to purchase a bottling machine, build a wall (which is also necessary for the bottling permit), and pay off some of his outstanding bills (of which there are many). Once his permits and licenses are in place, the farmer will be able to reopen his store to new customers (more on that in the coming weeks).
The farmer is proud to announce that he now has a Raw Milk Permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture! The Raw Milk Permit allows the farmer to lawfully produce and sell raw milk for human consumption in the state of Pennsylvania. It means that the farm has been inspected and follows all regulations under the Milk Sanitation Law:
If you're an active customer with us, you may have noticed that many of our meat products disappeared in the past month. Whatâs 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 farmerâs ethical and regenerative farming practices are certainly on point, but the USDA had concern with his meat processors.
Itâs been a while, and we are so happy to be sending out our weekly news again :) Spring is here. Itâs a time for re-birth, for coming out of hibernation, and for joy, despite any hardship you may be facing. As Ann Bradstreet said, âIf we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant."
You just went through a good amount of effort to get your radically old fashioned milk, and then you boil it?! What gives? Letâs look into this more closely to understand the reasoning, benefits, and compromises of boiling milk.
Eggnog is an old fashioned drink, a very old fashioned drink. Although its exact lineage is debated amongst historians, there is general consensus that it originated from the early Medieval drink called posset.
Tallow. Bacon grease. Lard. Butter. Goose liver. These are bad, right? After a lifetime of anti-fat propaganda based on soft science, itâs understandable that you may still be fearful of butter and steak. However, thereâs an overwhelming amount of research (and common sense) telling us otherwise.
Once youâve been eating 100% grass fed and finished beef for a while, the conventional grain-fed counterpart loses its luster. Truly pastured grass-fed beef will be tougher and full flavored (and sometimes even a bit âgameyâ), making the conventional option often taste mushy and lackluster. How has this become the normal American standard?
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. Itâs the diet that humans evolved thousands of years to eat. So I get back from the conference, and then comes Thanksgiving. If youâre talking about traditional foods, Thanksgiving dinner should fit right in. But⌠one of our family members is vegan. Gasp!
