More Than Food
More Than Food
To our family, this farm is about much more than raising food.
A couple weeks ago we had our second Farm Day. Other than it being abnormally cold for May, it was everything we imagined it would be. Hay rides, horse rides, games, and food brought the community together and smiles on each face. Watching the kiddos pet and squeal over the baby animals and anxiously wait in line to ride the horses filled my heart. Our family was encouraged by your support and your presence. My favorite part however, was listening to people ask questions about farming and what it means to eat grass-fed.
You see, the reason why our family has taken on the giant en devour of creating 100% grass-fed meat without any of the junk - steroids, antibiotics, ect. - that weaken our immune system and fill our bodies with toxins and bacteria, is because we care about you. The reason why so much effort goes into the care of our grass and our animals is because we want to see you succeed. We want to see a community that has the energy to love and grow. That thrives because you have fed your bodies quality food. We want to see your kids run, laugh, and excel in school. We want to know that you feel good, not just about what you are putting into your body, but also about the function of your body.
In order to have the highest functioning bodies, you need high quality food. We want to be that resource for you. Let us be that resource for you.
Have a happy and healthy summer!

A Message From a Five Year Old
A Message From a Five Year Old
We interviewed a five year old and her message is clear. She lives on the farm so she has more “know how” than most five year olds about farm life. Possibly more than some adults!
Riley is in pre-school. She is a sixth generation helper on our family farm. She loves, loves, loves to ride in the farm truck and be an assistant in any way possible. We try our best to keep her in the loop regarding what we do and how it benefits people and their health. Being around animals and seeing how much work it takes to raise animals with good health in mind has given her quite the perspective on farming and food in general. Listen to her wisdom…
What is our farm called?
BF Farms.
What do we do here on the farm?
We feed chickens and collect eggs and we make sure the cows are okay and the sheep. And we water the garden.
What kinds of things do the cows and the sheep need?
Some grass…ummmmmm…eh… I don’t know what else.
What does Mimi -Kamie, our ranch manager- do on the farm?
She collects eggs with me. We feed the dogs together.
How long does Mimi work on the farm?
She leaves in the truck when the sun wakes up and comes back sometimes at dinner and sometimes at nighttime.
What do the dogs do to help on the farm?
They guard the sheep from the coyotes so the coyotes don’t go and eat the sheep in the night. They do eat the sheep in the night sometimes.
Where does the meat at the grocery store come from?
I don’t know.
What are the most important foods to eat?
Vegetables.
So why do we eat beef and lamb?
Well, it’s okay because the cows eat green vegetables…grass!
Why do we feed the cows and the sheep grass?
Because it makes their body happy.
Why do we eat grass-fed beef and lamb?
Because it makes our body happy.
What do you want to say to everyone who hasn’t tasted our meat?
Come to the house and try it! It’s yummy and makes your body happy.

Grass-Fed Macho Taco Burgers
Time for Dinner: Grass-Fed Macho Taco Burgers
It's time for dinner and I am craving grass-fed beef tacos, but my husband wants burgers and my kids want cheese. For dinner. Quite the dilemma. So instead of making three separate meals because seriously, who has time for that, we mashed all of our cravings together as shown in the recipe below and I would like to call it the "Macho Taco Burger". I guess you could technically use store bought or grain fed ground to make the same recipe, but there are major, life altering reasons why my family chooses 100% grass-fed meat. I realize we live on the farm and of course we would buy our own meat, not to mention that it is the most delicious beef I have ever had, but that is only a tiny reason why we do.
Our family eats A LOT of ground. I mean, when I bust out a steak, the creatures of my household think we are having "fancy dinner". Plus, my almost 2 year old can't chew steak yet, so ground it is. We have to be super creative in order for meals not to get boring. The thing I really love about grass-fed ground versus grain fed or whatever else they feed cows in feedlots, is that I know my family is eating clean food. I know there aren't any added hormones that are going to make my daughters "bloom" too early or antibiotics that may travel into our bodies. I know exactly what grasses the animals graze on and that the grasses are not genetically modified. I know that BECAUSE we are on the farm and see the process every day. I know the work it takes to invest in a business that doesn't cut corners and a family that cares about the health of people everywhere.
I want to support my family's health, farmers who farm the right way, and my taste buds because, let's face it, they control everything. Check it...
