Pay More Now, Spend Less Later

We all know it. Miller’s Bio Farm food costs more - certainly more than conventional food and sometimes more than organic farm food. We cost more because we produce the most digestible and nutrient-dense food possible. Every aspect of our farming practices is considered to grow the health of our soil, our plants, our animals, our environment, our staff, and our members and their families.

Even though you may be spending more now eating delicious farm fresh food, in the long run, you will actually be spending less. Here are just a few reasons why eating well and supporting the right farms will pay off:

You will lower the likelihood of needing to take a sick day. By eating foods void of chemicals and additives and rich in enzymes, proteins, vitamins, minerals, you are maintaining a healthy body and boosting your immune system. Staying healthy during flu season means that you can go to work and get your paycheck (and maybe even a promotion). At the same time, you are not spending money on doctor’s visits and medication.

You will lower your medical bills. Disease is expensive. Between visits to the doctor, procedures, surgeries, prescriptions, and medical devices, the bills can add up fast. From 2013-2014, the average American spent $1,350 on prescription drugs (of course health insurance covered some or all of this expense). Three of the leading illnesses in the US are heart disease, obesity, and arthritis, which, in most cases, can be prevented through diet and/or exercise.

You can stay more productive. When you feel great, you get more done. It’s as simple as that. If you need some stats, according to a 2012 study at Brigham Young University that evaluated 19,800 employees, eating well every day may lower your risk of productivity loss by 66%.

The vision of Miller’s Bio Farm is to end sickness by enhancing health, nutrition, and happiness in the lives of families and individuals. Our purpose is to inspire a generation of healthy children and reduce healthcare costs for families and individuals. We are honored to provide food for you and your family.

A2 beef vs A2 dairy. What's the difference? One doesn't even exist in the US.

Every once in a while, a customer sees that we offer A2/A2 dairy and asks, "Do you sell A2 beef?" When this happens, I let them know that A2 beef isn't a thing... at least not in the United States. But, A2/A2 dairy is. The dairy vs. beef classifications are based on two completely separate things. One has to do with marbling in meat, and the other has to do with the type of protein in milk. Here's the explanation of both.

What's in our natural egg feed? And why is it in there anyway?

Our egg farmers recently switched to a new, natural, and 100% honest feed supplier. We are thrilled that they'll work with us to create a corn & soy free feed that fits our natural requirements. Here are answers to common questions about the feed as well as the nitty gritty details about the feed ingredients.

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.
