Nostalgic Christmas pork made healthy... in a pandemic

Growing up, I would go to my Grandma’s house for Christmas. It was basically the same menu every year. I remember the sound and feeling of cracking walnuts at the table, the spice of her mashed turnips on my tongue, and the smell of the brown sugar glazed spiralized ham baking in the oven. Oh that spiralized Christmas ham! But... as I got older and became more aware of the healing powers of food, I began to think twice about that ham.

A very special Miller's holiday gift guide

The holiday season is here. The spirit of giving is upon us. For many Americans, the Christmas season is wrought with materialism. Every year I struggle with this. I mean, we really don't need more stuff. Why not give a non-material gift? Food is always a good gift option. It is a yummy experience and, when sourced properly, also a gift of health and nourishment.

5 reasons why Miller's beef is the best

Miller’s Bio Farm is so proud to produce the highest quality foods. We know our beef is awesome. Here are 5 reasons why Miller’s beef is the best. PS: Sometimes it can be hard to choose what to buy. Here are tips ---

Can you believe it's actually zero food waste!?

In case you didn’t know, Miller’s Bio Farm is a zero food waste facility. I didn’t realize the extent to this conviction until I visited the farm last week. My family ate dinner with the farmer’s family, and I was helping clear the table. There were maybe 5 beans left in a pot, so I asked the farmer’s wife Rebecca if I should put it in the compost. She said “Oh I’ll save it and put it in some soup.” She put the 5 little beans in a tiny container in the fridge.

How to be absolutely certain the milk is 100% A2

It seems that there’s a lot of confusion and even misinformation out there about A2 milk. I’m hoping to bring some light to the topic. How can you be absolutely certain the milk is 100% A2? It’s NOT the breed of the cow. It’s NOT the fat content. It’s NOT whether it’s raw or homogenized. It’s NOT the nutritional content. It’s NOT what the cow is fed. It’s NOT how a cow lives.

Is it possible to be more transparent?

As you probably know, almost all of our weekly news stories are inspired by our awesome customers. I’ve been getting a lot more questions than normal lately. They’re on a variety of topics but all have an underlying theme - trust.Some examples - How can we be sure your milk is A2? How do we know you do not give your cows hormones? How can I be certain that your animals are treated humanely? Are you sure there’s no soy in your feed? It didn’t say “sourdough” on the bread label, is it really sourdough?You get the point. Our customers want to know that what we say about our products is true!Miller’s Bio Farm prides itself in transparency. I mean, can’t you tell? We send out lengthy posts about what we do every week.Do you want quality info on the website? We try our best to keep the website up to date and continuously add more info. Do you want reviews? We have that! Check out our Google reviews (oh and if you haven’t left one already, we’d love your personal and honest feedback).Do you want excellent customer service? We have that, too! You can email any questions to hello@millersbiofarm.com, and I’ll reply. I try to reply ASAP but definitely within 24 hours. Consider me your farm liaison. I speak with the farmer nearly every day. And I visit the farm multiple times per year. And, I’ve been buying Miller’s food for my family for 8 years, way before I became an employee.But, I get it. Especially in our current world, it can be so hard to trust information. How can we know what’s true and what’s “fake news”? Add this to the fact that, as a society, we’ve become so very disconnected from our food. According to recent polls, about only 27% of Americans cook every day and 35% of households grow food at home or in a community garden. Really, the only way to 100% be certain about how your food was produced is to grow it and cook it yourself. Not so easy these days considering busy work/school schedules and lack of garden space (especially me on my 0.15 acres in the woods). What else can Miller’s Bio Farm do? How can we be more transparent? Do you want food labels? Labels like “certified organic” and “fair trade” and “GMO free” and “certified humane” can make you feel safe and supported. But, if you’re reading this, you likely know that the labels can be misleading. Miller’s Bio Farm is not certified in anything. Farmer Aaron feels that it’s a waste of time and resources. You can read a bit more about that here.Do you want photos and videos of the farmer and his family? Or how about social media? I’m sorry, farmer Aaron does not do this. He is Amish and does not participate in things that promote an individual’s vanity. At first, I was shocked and disappointed by this. But now, I have a profound appreciation for these convictions (anyone watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix?).Do you want to visit the farm or meet the farmer? Usually we host at least two events a year where this is possible. This year all events were unfortunately cancelled due to… you guessed it...  the pandemic. Also, we know that not all customers live close enough to make attending an event on or near the farm possible.That being said, if you do live close enough, you are welcome to schedule a short and private farm tour with farmer Aaron. If you live far away, you are also welcome to speak with farmer Aaron on the phone. To do either of these, leave a message at 717.786.7895 ext 0. The farmer is usually good about calling back quickly.What else can we do? What can we do to help you feel secure in your food sources? Videos or info sheets on certain topics? Signed affidavits from all farmers we source from? More info about our local vendors? Is there particular information that’s lacking from the website? Any ideas?We want to hear from you!
