BATs (Bacon, Avocado and Tomato)

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: recipes, bacon, 05-31-2022

Why didn’t we think of this sooner?! A bacon, avocado, and tomato sandwich was the perfect meal when Betsy came home from a long day of marching band and Jack had a long day of farming while parenting a toddler. Quick, easy, filling, super tasty, and loved by every member of the family. We will be making this again. And again and again….

Moroccan-Style Roast Chicken

This is a delicious dish. Remember: If your spices are old and don’t have a robust smell to them, it is worth getting new ones before trying this dish. Don’t buy spices at big box grocery stores. How long do you think the turmeric sits on the shelf there before someone buys it? Shop for these spices at a local Co-op with a good bulk spice selection.

Here is an amazingly simple and tasty recipe for your pork chops or loin roasts. We took these chops off at around 135 degrees.

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: recipes, beef, stew, steak, 02-15-2022, 05-09-2022

This dish is a cross between a stew and beef with sauce. Consider adding potatoes or fried bread as a side. Don’t waste your time measuring anything with this one. I made up the amounts after the fact anyhow!



Pork shoulder with mustard-mushroom gravy

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: recipes, pork, pork shoulder, roast, 02-15-2022

A great way to serve up a pork shoulder. Tender, juicy and SO MUCH FLAVOR! We made some mashed parsnips and potatoes as a side. Enjoy!

Vitamin A: Why Everyone Should Be Eating Liver

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: newsletter, article, health

Vitamin A is a critical nutrient that most people in northern climates and specifically children are deficient in. This is because most of us are unable to convert beta-carotine found in plants or multi-vitamins into true bio-available vitamin A. Read more about how important this is to your family's health.



Brisket - Sous Vide and Smoked

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: recipes, beef, brisket, sous vide, smoker

This is by far the best way to cook grass fed brisket. Without a sous vide, you could never get the amazing texture and while the smoking is optional, it is highly recommended.



Simple Chicken Soup

Betsy whipped this soup up tonight while we were making a different dinner. It is great to be able to make meals ahead of time that are quick and easy to pull out of the fridge or freezer!



Buttery Liquid Gold - Stock

Posted by Jack McCann | Tags: recipes, soup, bones

If you've never made broth from our stockbones, you really haven't lived. It is one of the things that really differentiates our products from the factory stuff in the store -- or even most stockbones at a farmer's market. Rich, buttery, healthy and soul filling... give it a shot!
