Last Easter, I shared the fact that we always try our best to nurture our community and environment through decisions based on our faith, ancestorial knowledge, and new information gained from experience and education. I want to share with you, exactly how we do this day in and day out on our farm.
So you’ve decided you’re ready to try pasture-raised meats. A quick Google search leaves you with more questions than answers about where to start. Here are 4 quick things to consider before purchasing pasture-raised meats.
What do Grass-fed Cattle eat over the winter? We often get asked this question once the weather turns cold and the grass stops growing. In the video below, I talk about how we make sure our cows' stomachs are full over the winter. I hope you enjoyed watching the video. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to info@redhillharvest.com or simply call us at (570) 900-1566.
Farming may look simple, but there is a lot of science that is involved before the food we grow hits your dinner plate. Get the inside scoop on how we make sure our cattle are eating nothing but the best feed over the winter.
Vaccines and livestock have become a huge issue lately. It has come to light that mRNA “vaccines” (which aren’t vaccines) have been used in the pork and poultry industry for several years and trials are currently underway in the beef industry as well.
It all started in the late 1700s when our ancestors came to America during the Revolutionary War. When the war was finished, they decided to settle here in the little Mahantango Valley in central PA, because it looked and felt like their homeland in the Black Forest region of Germany. As time went on they began to work the soil to provide food for their new families. When we look out the window of our house we can see the land where the first homestead was built!
Growing potatoes is tricky. When you add in considerations about organic versus conventional growing methods, it gets even harder to figure out what to do. At Red Hill Harvest, we do both, but the certifications alone don't tell the whole story of our growing practices. We are working to grow the best, most nutrient dense potatoes across all categories.
Simple recipes made with the best beef and potatoes make cooking for a crowd easy! Hosting a party can be stressful, but planning ahead and cooking with high quality ingredients means you can enjoy socializing with friends and family rather than sweating over the stove.
