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!

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.

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.
