new year find you a better man."

Fill Your Fork With Nutritious!
Is it possible to get all of the vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and nutrients we need to stay healthy - just from the food we eat? Maybe, but it all depends on what you eat. If your diet consists of processed foods, then the likelihood is not so good. Even if your diet consists primarily of proteins, fruits, and veggies, it's a tall order because again it depends on who is raising those foods. Are the soils rich enough to provide the plants and animals we eat with the nourishment they need? That's a serious question and one that we shouldn't take too lightly. According to multiple scientific studies, the fruits and vegetables we consume today are lacking. Compared to past decades, our foods are losing their nutritional value due to declining soil health. This is especially concerning to those who adopt a non-meat diet. Many people who switch to some form of vegetarian diet have good intentions, but the results can be catastrophic to health and well-being. Poor soil quality affects grazing animals as well.
This is why our farms are so particular about building healthy soil. As it turns out, soil is the key to nutrition. Kill the life in the soil and you have less nutrition and poor quality produce. Deep, healthy soils are important to the environment as well. They help retain rain water so erosion and runoff is limited. This means rivers, streams and lakes are healthier. Healthy soils also help recycle atmospheric carbon which means air quality is better for everyone. Let's give the next generation something more. Please support regenerative farming efforts. It's a sure way to get the most nutrition for your food dollars.

"Content cattle grazing on the Alabama Gulf Coast warmed by Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. For the next 100 days these Gulf Coast pastures will provide some of best grazing in North America. Roll the clock back 400 years, and you most likely would have seen large numbers of bison and other wild game ruminants flourishing around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico. The only thing not changed is the soil biology which was building soil 24/7 over the entire land mass free of buildings, streets and highways."
