Yummy 15-Bean Soup- This week Beth took a few leftover ham hocks from packing and the bone from one of our smoked hams and used them to make the BEST 15-Bean Soup I have had.

Ingredients

  • 1 package HamBeens® 15 BEAN SOUP® with seasoning packet (Beth did not use the seasoning packet)
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 smoked ham hock or leftover ham or smoked sausage
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking Directions
Rinse beans and drain. Sort any unwanted debris and set seasoning packet aside.

Place beans in a large pot of cool water. Cover and allow to soak at least 8 hours or overnight. After soaking, drain water.

Add water and broth to a large pot.

If using smoked ham hock, add with the water and broth to a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook 1 hour. (Note: if using ham bone, leftover ham or smoked sausage, it can be added along the beans in the step below and does not need to pre-cook.)

Add, onion, garlic, and drained beans and reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook 1 ½ to 2 hours or until beans are tender.

Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, and lemon juice. Simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in the seasoning packet from the beans and season with salt & pepper to taste. Simmer 1 minute more. NOTE: Beth did not use the seasoning packet.

Free RAW Milk | Election Impact on Food Health

Free RAW Milk- Last week I started a conversation around RAW milk and showed test results where raw milk is very similar to a human mother’s milk and contrasted it to current pasteurized milk that has none of the active ingredients found in human milk. I then asked folks two questions: 1. Is raw milk something you would be interested in for your family? 2. Would you like to receive communications about what we are doing and how you can help effect change?

Faithful Customers | FREE Raw Milk

Contents: 1. Faithful Customers 2. Free The Milk 3. Product Availability Update Faithful Customers- September we completed eight years selling our product via our website and making deliveries. From 2010 till 2016 we only sold whole or half beef & pork and chicken. Thursday a customer placed their order. The order number was 20,000 (that is twenty thousand). WOW! Now, that does not mean we have actually filled 20,000 orders because when someone deletes, cancels or leaves an open cart the number is not reused. But, those are exceptions as most of those 20,000 orders are filled. Additionally, this weekend will be our largest volume delivery ever
