Have you noticed that ALL beef and cattle commonly receive undue and unwarranted criticism? Maybe you've noticed it yourself while scrolling Facebook or Instagram, watching the mainstream media, or in passing conversations around town. Now, there certainly are truths to claims about the negative environmental impact of cattle and beef being mass-produced fatter and faster at overcrowded industrial, CAFO feedlots. But that is NOT true of all cattle.

On this weekend leading up to the 4th of July I spent time reflecting about what freedom and independence mean for me as a regenerative farmer. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for the privilege my family has to produce wholesome food for you right here on U.S. soil. We recognize our freedoms would not be here today without the immense sacrifices from our service men and women, past and present. We are incredibly grateful and vow to continue to act courageously to honor their sacrifices.
