Lunch is on the left, baby on the right. Why yes, yes I do talk to that baby bump every day. Hoping it is a little girl just like her mama.

The white chocolate raspberry loaf has layers of white chocolate chips and raspberry throughout. As always, only the finest ingredients. Premium cacao chips and organic raspberry in an organic flour sourdough loaf.
Going to get some freshly made butter to smear all over this…

Tallow lotion is stocked but supply is limited! Supply of raw tallow will fluctuate so consistency of stock is difficult to predict. But it is just so amazing I will do my best to have it here as much as possible.

Ways to protect your flock:
1. Dried oregano (and thyme if desired) in the feed. These contains phenols with high antimicrobial activity
2. Keep parasite loads in check
3. Fresh clean water; yes, adding garlic and apple cider vinegar are effective in helping boost their immunity.
4. Provide continuous opportunity for the birds to be able to use a dust bath to keep external parasites at bay that weaken immunity.
Starting to consistently support the immune health of your flock now is best for prevention. Cayenne pepper is another fantastic addition to your flocks feed. Personally my birds get dried oregano, garlic, and cayenne pepper in their feed every day. And every other month I use an herbal parasite blend for deworming.
And don’t forget to support your own immune health as well 😉

Well said J Cross S Farms! Our Flye makes such creamy delicious milk, we are so grateful for her ❤️

Raw milk contains every known fat and-soluble vitamin in its whole, bioavailable forms. Again, raw milk contains every known essential mineral, but the major parties are calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium, and sulfur. It even has 24 vital trace minerals. And you guessed it -all are 100% bioavailable! All 60 (known) enzymes are found intact and fully functioning in raw milk. Some come from the milk itself, while others come from the beneficial bacteria that grow in milk. They have many functions, but they help digest milk while freeing up key minerals for us to use. Some even protect milk from unwanted pathogens, making it safer to drink! Once pasteurized, fewer than 10% of enzymes remain! Raw milk contains all 22 amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), including eight essentials. All are 100% available.

Pasteurized milk is dead milk. The heating process kills the lactase, making it impossible to digest lactose (most people aren't lactose intolerant), and kills many beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients. Heat changes everything. Some vitamins are hit harder than others, but it's estimated that only 50% of vitamin value remains active in milk after pasteurization. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K) are especially unstable, particularly when heated above body temperature. This loss can exceed 66%! Water soluble vitamins vary and range from 38% to an 80% loss. Vitamin C exceeds 50%! While minerals are inorganic and cannot be killed by heat, they are altered dramatically. Calcium, one of the most essential minerals necessary for cellular function, loses as much as 50% potency.

But isn't milk fortified with vitamins and minerals?

Yes, it is, but that makes no difference. Synthetic forms of vitamins aren't easily broken down and used by the body. In nature, vitamins never occur in isolation but in a complex network of synergistic vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and cofactors that are necessary for recognition and use by the body. You dont get this with lab-made vitamins and minerals.

The collection of raw milk is crucial in ensuring its safety. Responsible collection methods, stringent hygiene practices, and proper storage are essential steps in minimizing the risks associated with raw milk consumption. Many small-scale dairy farms follow strict protocols to maintain the quality and safety of their raw milk products❤️

Whipped tallow is making it’s official debut, ok kind of, cause I am working on better labels, buuut for now this will do. But most importantly I want to assure you that unscented means just that: UN-Scented!
It takes multiple renderings and a fair amount of salt, but it isn’t finished until you don’t smell like roast beef when you apply this tallow.
Whipped up with small amounts of jojoba, rosehip, castor and tamanu oils, to make a smooth, easy to apply butter.
This tallow is for your skin, chock full of vitamins and age-defying nutrients to help your skin stay soft and nourished. It will be unlike any other lotion, all the hype around tallow is real!
Available in 2 or 4 ounce sizes, the unscented is $12 or $22.

Well should be a great year for pasture around here, we probably have had 3 foot of snow so far…

Fun Farm Fact: Ever hear the saying, "A good winter with snow makes all the plants grow?" Nitrogen attaches to❄️as the snow falls through the atmosphere. Nitrogen is slowly released into the soil as the snow melts, providing a gentle fertilizer boost for plants.
