I enlisted one of my team members to write a fun article about beef tallow and 5 major nutritional benefits. While my dear 17-year-old friend, Gianna Napolitano, looked at me like I had 5 heads as I filtered high-quality suet from some gorgeous pieces of fat I had saved from club steaks and porterhouses, I asked her if she knew of any benefits that beef tallow offered? She said “no” (slightly grossed out by the idea). So, we discussed some of the beneficial properties of tallow while finely chopping fresh herbs from the garden.

Inefficiencies of, and Obstacles to, Organic Farming

There are people that, as soon as they go into the market, the first that they look for is that white and green “USDA Certified” mark on their meat and produce. However, only about 1% of US farms are organic certified, so why are some people so worried about that label?

The Return of Pasture-Raised Beef, pt II

Last we talked about pasture-raised meat, we went a little off on the tangent of the dangers of factory raised meat. Today, we will get into the benefits of pasture raised meat and poultry! This is important, as farms have been a staple of world culture for thousands of years, and people have often taken great pride in the health of their crops and animals, and the reputation they had for treating the animals, earth, and plants as family.
