Spring has finally arrived on the farm and along with it came 550 happy little balls of fuzz... Yup, the first spring chicks are here! :) I took a few minutes to shoot a quick video out in the brooder so you can hear them chirping for yourself.
Organic Grain Fraud is corrupting "certified organic" integrity around the world. Greedy hearts are swayed by millions of dollars in easy cash... A line is crossed and honesty dropped. Officials are bribed and papers signed.
Today you get a virtual tour of McGraths' Brick Oven Bakehouse, run by Kevin & Melinda McGrath. He crafts truly artisan bread using traditional methods few other bakers still practice. McGrath's naturally-leavened breads start with organic grains and a decades old sourdough starter. After much hands-on-attention, each loaf is baked in a wood-fired brick oven.
The big announcement is here! Early Monday morning you can get access to our absolute best prices of the year on Pastured Pork. We put together event exclusive Pork Bundle Savings based on our most popular products.... There's something for everyone in this 15 day savings event!
The big deal is that most pigs spend their lives packed in huge CAFO confinement barns. They eat chemical-farmed GMO feeds laden with antibiotics and artificial growth stimulants. They don't even know what grass is.
Winter set in for real on the farm last week. We got our first big snow and now the pigs are snuggling deep in their straw bedding... But just a few weeks ago it was different. The sun was warm, the grass was lush, and I had the perfect opportunity to do a photo/video shoot with the pastured pigs on Rodrick & Jeanette's rescued Amen Acres Farm.
Christmas Day is almost here! Children are anxiously looking forward to presents. Families are finishing last minute decorations. But I believe we need to be thinking deeper than Santa Claus and Christmas lights.
Now is the time to stock up on top quality RAW Milk Cheeses at our best prices of the year. Most grocery store cheeses are made from dead, pasteurized milk. You deserve the cleanest, immunity building foods available.
Today I get to introduce: Raw Shredded Italian Pizza Cheese! It's a variety of our shredded raw milk cheeses mixed with organic Italian Seasoning to create the perfect topping for your next pizza, lasagna, tacos, quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, chili soup, salads, or just about anything else you can imagine.
Last week Dad did an excellent job with his analogy Of Raw Milk and Swimming. If we want to "relax and swim" with strong immunity and good gut health we'll need as much raw living food in our diet as possible. Thousands of families have "learned to swim" with our Organically Pastured Raw Jersey Cow Milk... And we've helped many of them take the next step to make Raw Milk Kefir at home.
Organic CAFO Dairies should not be allowed! But they do exist. In our country. And in our supermarkets. Here are the cold, hard numbers I uncovered after hours of searching through USDA Organic data reports.
Misleading label claims are everywhere. They bombard you while walking down the grocery store aisles. They creep up on you while scanning a slick marketer's website. They shock you when even your best friend recommends an industrial organic brand... "Hey, it's a lot cheaper and they say it's just as good!"
The Industrial Organic Curtain needs torn down. You deserve to know what lies behind that certified organic seal in the grocery store. And no, it's not a small family farm with animals out enjoying fresh grass and sunshine each day.
I'm loving the fall weather on the farm these days! And now to prepare for winter... This is your chance to stock up before the October 14 price freeze ends. Whatever you do, please don't panic. Yes, some prices are changing, but not on any staple items like milk, eggs, ground beef or whole chicken.
You really need to take a few minutes to watch Pastured Poultry: Better Way Forward. It's a great video from the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA). They clearly show the outstanding advantages of pastured poultry.
It's a beautiful morning on the farm in Chambersburg, PA! The sun is shining, the grass is lush, and the animals are thriving. In the midst of all this good, we hear rumbles of hard times coming. People ask, "Is your farm ready for another food shortage?"
Here's the secret to save money while eating high quality chicken parts. Truly Pastured, Chemical-Free, Soy-Free and GMO-Free chicken parts are never as cheap as a whole bird...unless you do it yourself.
We just launched a website update to help you save money each time you shop our Truly Pastured, Organic foods. You'll love it. Shopping is now easier than ever. Here's what we did...
It used to be, whenever you saw a nice yellow egg yolk, you could trust those chickens were the real deal – truly pastured. Not any more. Now days....
If a picture is worth a thousand words then I'll skip 975 of them and let this comparison speak for itself. One glance is enough. These two beef environments show a stark contrast... and so does the resulting beef you eat. I know without a shadow of a doubt which system I want to support.
Today I'll show you how we raise Woodland / Pastured Pigs to bring you the highest quality pork possible. But first I want you to see a 1 minute video I shot out in the pig pasture on Rodrick's Amen Acres Farm. It's the best way to visualize what we are talking about here. :)
