Dear John,   

The games of the 31st Olympiad are underway, and our country's top athletes are in Rio competing against the best in the world. At this level of competition, winning and losing is often determined by inches, fractions of seconds, or tenths of points.  These athletes need every edge they can get to ensure their place in history.  In the first 60 years of the 20th century, Russian weight lifters dominated the sport.  Their secret weapon was massive pemmican intake to build muscle strength.  

School will soon be back in session, and your kid's performance can be enhanced with good nutrition.  Check out selections from the Kids Picks category for items that will help them maintain their energy, focus, and stamina throughout the school day.  
Kids Picks is the featured category for the week, so browse the items, make your selections and then enter the promo code "SCHOOL" in your cart and get a 15% discount off those items.  The discount is good through Saturday August 13th 12:00 Midnight CST, only applies to items in the Kids Picks category and for orders less than 40 lbs. Excludes sale items, volume discounts, and gift certificates.

One snack that kids will hardly ever refuse is chocolate... Read Dr. Mercola's article this week to learn more about the specifics of how chocolate can be a boost to your health and well-being. 

Here's a food that might not be listed in Kid's Picks, Beef Head Cheese, however one mom tells us in our Customer Feedback section how much ALL of her kids enjoyed our Beef Head Cheese which is on sale this week!

If you're wanting to stock up on easy to prepare kid-friendly meals, take a look at our Recipe Corner this week. These simple meatballs are a perfect make ahead meal and can be made with our Ground Beef 75% Bundle which is also on sale this week. Meatballs are easy to freeze, so double this recipe for a night when you won't have time to cook!

Dr. Mercola
Of all the treats available, chocolate is one of the most craved foods in the world. The first solid chocolate bar, made from cocoa butter, cocoa powder and sugar, was introduced by the British chocolate company J.S. Fry & Sons in 1847, but the history of chocolate goes back at least 4,000 years.1

Throughout its history, chocolate - "the food of the Gods" - has remained a symbol of luxury, wealth, and power. During the 14th century, the Aztecs and Mayans even used cacao beans as currency.

Research has also revealed chocolate has some rather impressive health benefits, provided you're willing to give up the now-familiar sweetness of modern day milk chocolate.

 
Customer Feedback
Beef Head Cheese
(on sale this week!)

"Kids liked it, and so did I!" 

"We just had this for breakfast for the first time and it was a winner all around.  All the kids (ages 8-16) liked it as did I.  I have no doubt my husband will, too.  We fried it up in a cast iron skillet, browning both sides.  Since it's already cooked, it fries up quickly. It will definitely end up being a once-a-month treat!"

Thanks to Caitlin Weeks of Grass Fed Girl for this recipe!

"These easy Paleo grass fed meatballs are like a warm hug after a long day. You can make them ahead of time and and just pop them in the sauce at the last minute or you can leave them simmering in your crock pot. This easy dish will fill you up without filling you out. Grass fed beef has a healthy fat called CLA that actually burns fat off our bodies."

  Purchasing Information
Order Minimums
  • All orders must weigh at least 7 pounds in order to ship, to ensure everything stays frozen during transit.
  • $75 minimum purchase requirement, since we have built the cost of shipping into the price of each product.
  • You will never be charged extra for shipping.
  • There is a $7.50 handling fee upon checkout.
  • The South Carolina Chicken Bundles, BBQ Sauce, produce and cookbooks ship from separate locations, so they are not included in the 7 lb weight minimum.  The shopping cart will keep track and remind you if your order is under the 7 lb limit.   
Weight Discount
  • Receive a $25 discount for every 40 pounds you order. This offer excludes items that ship separate such as the South Carolina Chicken, produce and fresh bundles.
  • This is our way of saying thank-you for purchasing in bulk!
  • This can be any combination of products totaling 40 pounds and does not have to be specific to any category.  Each 40 pound interval will yield the discount - for example, order 80 pounds and we'll take $50 off!
