January Check-In From the Farm
By Danika
January always feels like a deep breath.
It’s our chance to check in with our tribe. The people who care about their health, about the land, and about raising animals for meat the right way. With care, respect, and intention. Animals raised this way simply taste better and they are healthier for you to consume too.
So now that I’ve said enough about that, how are everyone’s New Year goals coming along?
Personally, I’d love a small reset on some of my January goals. Others though, I am absolutely crushing. I guess that’s just part of being human. Taking the good with the bad, the wins with the failures, and trying to come out on top in the end.
When you really think about it, if we’re lucky, we get about 75 to 80 years. That’s roughly 75 summers, 75 winters, and 75 New Year resets. When you look at it that way, it doesn’t seem like much. It definitely makes you pause and think about what matters and what you actually care about.
I’m not saying stop the world or overhaul your life overnight. Just make a few conscious choices that help each day matter.
Those choices can show up in our food too. Choosing food that comes from local sources, is raised with care, and nourishes your body can truly make a difference. Healthier food supports a healthier you and hopefully extends that 75 year timeline a bit further.
So many of life’s memories are made around the dinner table. Birthdays, holidays, regular weeknights that turn into something special. Serve up something that actually makes a difference.
Healthy Start Subscription Reminder
We still have a few days left to get in on our Healthy Start Subscription.
Here’s how it breaks down:
10 lb Box of Beef
-
One time purchase: $237.00
Healthy Start Subscription
-
First month: $177.75 (25 percent off)
-
Every month after: 15 percent off, which brings it to $201.45 per month
That’s real, nutrient dense beef for the entire year. And if you don’t go through 10 pounds in a month, no worries at all. You can pause or skip a month anytime.
What’s Happening on the Farm
January is also a busy month here on the farm.
This is when we do artificial insemination on our cows. Just to be clear, this is not genetic modification. The semen we purchase is not altered in any way.
Artificial insemination allows us to carefully select genetics from proven bulls with strong traits. These bulls come from large herds with thousands of animals behind them, which means their genetics are well tested and reliable.
Better genetics mean:
-
Calves that handle Florida heat and humidity better
-
Stronger immune systems
-
Better grazing efficiency
-
Improved muscle development and meat quality
-
Healthier animals overall, which always translates to better beef
Our steers are also running with the cows to cover any that didn’t take with AI. If all goes as planned, come May we should be seeing lots of calves on the ground.
We’ll check in with you again before then, but for now we just want you to know we’re thinking of you.
Whether your reset is going perfectly or you’re hitting the restart button again, that’s okay. We’re here for questions, support, and good food raised the right way.
Here’s to making each day matter.
With gratitude,
Danika
