While there’s still a lot to explore about cuts of beef, how to prepare, and the health benefits per portion, this week wraps up our series of steak cuts explained...at least for now. We plan to continue updating our blog with information about Dutch Meadows products and practices, as well as continue to educate our customers and the general public about the importance of grass fed products, be it meat or dairy, free from artificial hormones, soy, and antibiotics.
Grilling season is still fresh here in North America’s eastern region and it’s been quite pleasant this time of year with many blue sky and warm air opportunities to fire up the bbq and relish in the delight of 100% grass fed meat!

Just in time for grilling season on the East Coast, we're running through a series of steak cuts each week.

The holidays should revolve around the experiences you have with the ones you love, but that doesn’t mean the “extra stuff", like nourishing food and drink on the table, must be forgotten. In fact, it’s a wonderful time of year to go above and beyond with cuisine, especially when the results are down right delicious and not necessarily dependent upon the amount of time put in. When you start with real, wholesome products and ingredients, the rest takes care of itself.
Whether you're sticking to the basics or trying something new this year, this sample menu has a little something for everyone, including a super simple side dish that requires no prep and always satisfies the appetites of your holiday guests. Happy Thanksgiving!
Fall is undoubtedly slow cooker season. Farmers experience peak harvests and, as the days get shorter and temperatures get lower, we long for comfort and convenience in our meals.

Summer is here and that means vacation for many of our customers. The beautiful thing about vacation is, at its core, vacation is just about “the action of leaving something one previously occupied”. This means, even if you’re not darting off to a lake or beach house or local pool, you can still partake in vacation fun by enjoying rest and relaxation right at home.
When it comes to being environmentally friendly, an organization's’ walk should always come before their talk. However, it’s not uncommon for consumers to create a narrative in their minds about a product or service based solely on a brand’s well crafted message, with no regard to the brand’s day to day operations. At Dutch Meadows, we measure each operation against the goal to keep farming communities vibrant and to produce real, nutrient-dense, farm fresh food for the benefit of our health and the benefit of future generations to come. So, when we realized our yogurt division was not optimized for such a goal, we began to take steps to rectify it.

It seems that whenever the mass food corporations see someone making money that they could be making they will do almost anything to put a stop to it. They really don't care if we farm organically, if we bottle fresh raw milk, or if we treat our animals with respect and never give them antibiotics or inject them with artificial hormones to make them grow faster. The only thing they really care about and do not like is the fact that we sell to the consumer. They think that all the money we work so hard to make could be theirs if they could only put us out of business.
