Americans are infatuated with the nostalgia of farm life. They are similarly fascinated with the Amish. In reality, farming isn’t very glamorous. Being Amish certainly isn’t glamorous. But being an Amish farmer is absolutely rewarding. Here’s a peek into what an average day on an Amish farm looks like...

The pandemic has exposed major weaknesses of many of the American systems we rely on. And, one of those systems is the agricultural system, specifically meat. You see, four huge companies control 85% of the American meat industry - Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and Smithfield. It’s monopolistic. When a part of the supply chain goes down, the entire system breaks. And, it’s the farmers, animals, and consumers who take the hit.

The farmer and his team are also looking forward to the New Year. There are lots of plans to enact, and I wanted to share with you the top 3 goals of 2021. These are pretty big, and I think they will improve your life, too!

I hope you are warm and merry. I hope you are spending time with friends and family, even if over Zoom. And, I hope you are enjoying healthy and delicious farm food today! Farmer Aaron wants you to keep the yummy food coming. As a small Christmas gift to you, farmer Aaron is offering you 5% off your next order.

I remember the sound and feeling of cracking walnuts at the table, the spice of her mashed turnips on my tongue, and the smell of the brown sugar glazed spiralized ham baking in the oven. Oh that spiralized Christmas ham! But... as I got older and became more aware of the healing powers of food, I began to think twice about that ham.
