Good morning!

Happy Jersey Cows on lush spring grass give delicious raw milk!

Here is a quick 25-second video that Wesley shot a few days ago. The cows are so happy to be out "harvesting" their own grass again.

One of our dairy farmer friends, Kinley Coulter, says it this way:

"Watching the cows tearing around the pastures in undisguised, unabashed, undiluted joy... just like a classroom of children let out to recess on a beautiful spring day... is one of the many blessings of spring on the farm!"

Amen to that, Kinley. :)

Here's to another spring season of delicious, golden milk again!

Your Farmer,

Mystery Meat Is in the News. We're the Opposite.

You may have seen the news on 300,000 tons of beef trimmings being imported tariff-free into the United States and blended with fatty domestic beef to make cheaper ground beef for everyone. Or maybe you've seen the nationwide recall announced 9/22 for 167,639 pounds of pork, beef, and goat products that may have been already relabeled and distributed through grocery stores and restaurants nationwide. These days you truly need to know your farmer if you want to know your food source and eat with confidence.

Our Chickens Move Twice a Day. Most Never Move at All.

Today I'll show what Truly Pastured means for our chickens compared to "organic" CAFO style barns with 20,000–30,000 birds in one building and only a grass strip along the edge. The problem with industrial organic chickens is that very few of these birds ever go outside... let alone eat a meaningful amount of grass. If they did go out regularly, that mass of birds would turn a small grass strip into a bare dirt mess in a matter of days.
