Hello from Ben. First, I want to thank each of you for supporting our farm with your food dollars. While this October did not set a new record like last year - sales have been good. And, folks really picked up a lot of the new sausage items. Your feedback on these items would be appreciated and help us make good decisions about the products we carry.

Last week I shared the #1 reason Mom's choose our "clean" farm products is their concern about "What is all this stuff found in industrial food, where did it come from, and what are the risk to my families health?"

This week we heard back from customers who expressed health concerns (issues) they are dealing with that relates back to the commercially raised food they have consumed in the past. Here is a quote Odette said I could share with you:

"I have been concerned about antibiotic resistant infections. This is what sent me on my search of 2 years to find a farm like yours.

I believe I have been buying your chicken for 2 years now. Other than that it has always been commercial.

I am paying the price for eating commercial chicken. Apparently the consumption of commercial chicken with resistance has also caused resistance in me.

I have been fighting a type of staphylococcus for one year now using natural therapies. At times it feels like it's gone, then it comes back with a vengeance, so I keep chipping away at it. My only other option is going under the care of a infectious disease specialist. There are four types of strong antibiotics delivered by IV in the hospital that may work. The protocol has high risks and usually needs to be repeated multiple times with 1-3 days in the hospital each time. I do not want to go that route.

This is where I am because of the consumption of commercial chicken. People need to know what is happening. Of coarse it's not just chicken, but the gmos, beef, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, our water, and more.

Just thought I would share because maybe the examples of the injured will warn others coming up.

I'm thankful for finding your farm!"

If you would like to participate in our research please email me and I'll be glad to get in touch with you. Your input matters.

Beth & I thank you for supporting local (integrity) regenerative food sources to create a food system that nourishes healthy families, that is better for the animals welfare, that is better for regenerating the land and that builds healthy communities. That is the only way to make a positive impact with your food dollars.

Eggs & More

This week the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) shared the USDA weekly disease update for Feb 4-10, 2025, a 4-day activity of exterminated chickens that is unnerving. During this timeframe 4.1 million chickens were exterminated. Most were egg layers and Ohio was the hardest hit. Here is the link that APPPA shared that tracks the outbreaks from the beginning - February 8th, 2022.

Compelling Purpose

Compelling Purpose – "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" The answer is your purpose, and if you don't have a compelling reason or purpose, you're likely to burn out and or fail. A brief testimony- folks who knew me in high school or even while on active duty Air Force in Plattsburg, NY would not have thought I would have ever amounted to much in life. Additionally, I was one of those who had to really study to make decent grades - even in college. (I was always jealous of folks like the dietian student in Statistics class who never studied, but made straight "A's"). Thus, I found myself in the help labs often. What I did have was persistence and perserverence! Spend the time, do the work to understand and succeed.

Farm Matters – First ACV - I left out a very important point regarding Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is loaded with beneficial enzymes that helps the cattle better digest their forage and also provides needed energy. The same can be said for raw cows milk. Remember the chart I shared a few email ago that showed all the beneficial enzymes in cows milk vs.
