We do not and will not use mRNA vaccines for our animals. For the most part, vaccines in livestock and poultry are recommended, NOT required. It’s a choice. That being said, vaccines in food, especially mRNA vaccines, is definitely something to be concerned about in the future. Let's take a look at animal vaccine development, new legislation, and new techy terms as we move out of the Wild West of vaccine policy.

Did you know that pork is high in thiamine (AKA Vitamin B1)? I’m guessing probably not, since thiamine isn’t something we typically worry about. But maybe we all should be paying a little more attention to this vital nutrient. Recent studies have shown that thiamine is basically an “anti-stress” vitamin.

For years, it’s been a dream of ours to offer salami. First, it’s delicious. Second, we love that it helps us use more of the animal (the less waste, the better). And, third, it’s pretty neat to preserve meat and make a fairly shelf stable, post-apocalyptic kind of product. It’s been quite a challenge. There are a good amount of salami makers around, but most are unwilling to adjust their recipes to be more natural. This year, we finally found Nello!

Meat washing doesn't mean putting T-bone steaks in the washing machine. It's when an antimicrobial agent is sprayed on meat. The USDA has a 41-page list of allowed antimicrobials, and our processors use the most natural sprays - organic apple cider vinegar and certified-for-organic citric and lactic acids. This is a complicated issue that comes down to choice.

If you’ve ever made stock or broth, you know what I mean when I talk about “scum”. It’s harmless. It’s flavorless. It’s perfectly fine to eat and probably shouldn’t be given such a derogatory name. Maybe we should call it bone foam or protein puddles or broth clouds instead. So… why skim the scum?

So much care and attention goes into every little detail of our farming practices. Our goal is to provide you with the most natural, most nutritious, and most delicious food. Although we have full control on the farm, once an animal goes to the processor, it’s out of our hands. We don’t want an “ok” or “good” processor. We want an “awesome” processor, one that holds the highest standards, just like we do on the farm. We had given up hope and were working with the best options available. Then… something miraculous happened...
