When it comes to crafting the perfect DIY bone broth, the quality of your ingredients matters — and nothing beats 100% grass-fed bones. Sourced from animals raised solely on pasture without synthetic additives or grains, grass-fed bones offer a cleaner, more nutrient-dense foundation for broth. They’re richer in collagen, amino acids, and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are slowly released during the simmering process. The result? A deeply nourishing broth with superior flavor and health benefits that conventional bones simply can’t match.

Grass-fed bones also reflect a commitment to sustainable and ethical farming. Animals raised on pasture contribute to healthier soil, reduced carbon emissions, and better animal welfare. By choosing grass-fed, you’re not just feeding your body — you’re supporting regenerative agriculture and a food system that values transparency and integrity. It’s a small shift with a big impact, both for your health and the planet.

Bone broth is just one piece of the puzzle in a broader philosophy known as nose-to-tail eating. This approach encourages using every part of the animal — from bones and marrow to organs and connective tissue — minimizing waste and maximizing nutrition. It’s how our ancestors ate: with reverence, resourcefulness, and a deep understanding of the nutritional bounty each part provides. Embracing nose-to-tail eating reconnects us with traditional food wisdom and helps us make the most of every ingredient.

Organ meats, often overlooked in modern diets, are nutritional powerhouses. Liver, heart, kidney, and spleen are packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as iron, zinc, and B vitamins in highly bioavailable forms. These nutrients support energy production, immune function, and hormonal balance far more effectively than many synthetic supplements. Incorporating organ meats into your meals — whether blended into ground meat or featured in classic dishes — is a simple, ancestral way to supercharge your nutrition.
