Dirt to Soil

Dirt to Soil - is Gabe Brown's first book that was just released in October 2018. I first meet Gabe at his ranch in North Dakota in 2013 during a Grassfed Exchange Conference. It is truly amazing what he has accomplished using his 5-keys to soil health - especially when you consider he has 232 days below freezing and the average annual rainfall is only 16 inches.

We have been practicing these 5-steps on our farm for at least 4 years. For the first three years or so it was hard to tell if this was working for us. However, our soils this year are really starting to so improvement in nutrient & water cycling.

A customer also emailed me a podcast of Gabe discussing his book. You can listen to it here.

If you want to learn more simply go to YouTube and search for Gabe Brown. There are a lot of videos available. In the meantime, buy his book here. It could make a good Christmas gift for an aspiring farmer.

New Products - about a six weeks ago we floated the idea of several new products. And, we have decided to add the following three items:
1) SMOKED SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, red pepper, sage, sugar, black pepper

2) SMOKED ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, spices (ground mustard, red & black pepper), dehydrated onion & garlic, corn syrup solids, sugar, parsley

3) SMOKED CHORIZO SAUSAGE made with beef. Ingredients are beef, salt, spices (red pepper, paprika, cumin, ground mustard), dextrose, sugar, garlic powder, natural extracts, citric acid.

Give them a try and let us know what you think. They are IN STOCK now and can be added to your existing order and I will meet you next Wednesday.

Customer Feedback-
"Just a note to let you know your beef is the best we ever experienced!”

Quote Worth Re-Quoting – “The fusion of life transforms dirt into soil. Dirt becomes soil not simply because there is enough organic matter in the soil but because there's life in the soil - and not just any life but the full spectrum of soil biology." ~Gabe Brown

It's A Wonderful Life

It's A Wonderful Life – many families have the tradition of watching "It's A Wonderful Life" staring Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed by author Philip Van Doren Stern from his 1938 Christmas Tale originally titled "The Greatest Gift." RKO Radio pictures purchased his property who later sold it to Liberty Films. Frank Capra, as producer & director, developed the property for a movie and retitled "It's A Wonderful Life" with its debut in 1946. According to a Paul Harvey - The Rest Of The Story, the movie did not become popular until the 1970's because

Emotional Week = Short Newsletter

Difficult Week – About six weeks ago Beth’s mom Jackie found out her cancer had returned. Her condition worsened very fast and she passed away early Tuesday morning. Beth had been staying with her most of the last two weeks. Her funeral was Friday morning. Working with our team we were able to process chicken Tuesday & Wednesday mornings and post inventory. We also processed 8 pigs the afternoon of those two days and posted the fresh pork items. I want to express how much we appreciate our team who stepped up and did extra to support our farm and lessen the burden on Beth.

My Customer Response

Food deserts are regions where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food. This may be due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options. Without access to healthful foods, people living in food deserts may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and micro-nutrient deficiencies. Medical News Today I would offer additional considerations to include: 1. In 2016 a study was made that determined MS imports $8.5 billion dollars worth of food. That was more than a billion greater than farm commodity crops generated in sales that year.
