Let’s talk nutrient dense food and all that love, care, sunshine, and hard work that goes into this. It’s what gets us raising our families in the lifestyle we have or want to, no? My first babe was a water home birth on top of a northern NM mesa where we called home at the time. My second babe was an unplanned emergency surgery at 25 weeks. Which then became three LONG frightening months of touch and go at the NICU in Asheville, NC. The boys’ father and I wanted access to the most nutrient dense foods possible for our family now more than ever. Enzo, our second was at the time tiny but thriving and after a year plus of breastfeeding and pumping the stress of it all lead us to Sally Fallon’s formulas. The milk one was ok, but Enzo (with his father’s Argentine blood) really thrived on the meat based one and all those healthy fats! We jumped right in… to everything!

Stewarding rare and endangered heritage breeds seemed like a no-brainer and was our focus from day 1. Organic methods, regenerative practices, and a goal of a closed loop system helped our define and refine our animal husbandry and veg garden. We leaned in to our beautiful woods and lush pasture forage. At first it was to harvest, cook, and feeding just the family but it spilled over and got bigger.
