The Secret Life of Farmer Edwin

Top of the morning to you friends!

"Know your farmer... Know your food."

This pithy bit of wisdom has been kicked around the foodie world for the last decade or so. But what if there was a side to your farmer that you never knew? How would that affect your food?

Good question. Let’s find out.

Seriously, there is nothing huge here and neither is there any real secret... But I am pretty sure there is a side to my life this past year of which most of you are unaware.

This might help explain my silence. Some of you have commented that you hear from Rodrick and Wesley, but not much from Edwin anymore.

Let me give you a peak behind the scenes at what was occupying my time. Then I believe you'll understand. :)

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.
