A New Season

We're back at it again, there are 3 new baby calves in the field, the crops are starting to come up, and the lilacs around the farm are budding and will soon be in full bloom! 

A year has gone by since I chose to take on this task of offering quality meat at a reasonable rate, an ensuring the farmers are fully compensated.  Its been an exciting journey and keeps getting more exciting as I learn more about what it takes to offer NUTRITIOUS meat and how to measure that and how to ensure the integrity of the meat. Its very disheartening to me that people throw around the word ORGANIC so easily, I've spoken to the OCPP (governing body in Ontario) about how there is a mis conception that the title organic doesnt ensure nutrition, there are so many loop holes and it doesnt speak anything of buying local... So many variations on this latest green, local, health craze that has been going on. And dont get me wrong- All are good, but I think there needs to be an understanding of whats NUTRITIOUS, its all a stepping stone to understanding more about whats in your food, and more importantly waht ISNT in your food. 

In the coming blog posts I will show you why it is ESSENTIAL that the basis of nutrition is covered and why its so important these days and what can be done about it, what most people are missing in their diet and why. These days getting all the food groups covered just wont cut it. As one of the calcium pill commercials states on TV, the amount of food you'd have to eat to get your daily dose of calcium is astronomical and unrealistic. Which goes to show we are essentially STARVING our body of nutrients, and packing it full of calories, with that being said is it any SURPRISE the state of health our world is in??? 

Until next time - think about MICRO Nutrients - the building blocks to your future, a VIBRANT FUTURE
