St. Patrick's Day Traditions
St Patrick’s Day Corned Beef (include blog/product/category links)
St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated every March 17, traces its origins to the 5th century missionary St. Patrick, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. Over time, the day evolved from a solemn religious observance into a broader celebration of Irish heritage, symbolized by shamrocks, green attire, and festive gatherings. Though rooted in ancient Irish history and legend, the holiday’s modern identity blends folklore with national pride, making it one of the most recognizable cultural celebrations worldwide.
In both Irish and American communities, the holiday carries meaningful cultural significance. For Ireland, it reflects generations of heritage and national identity. In the United States, particularly in regions with strong Irish American ties, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a major civic celebration marked by parades, music, and shared meals. It remains a day where communities come together to honor cultural roots and highlight the contributions of Irish immigrants to American life.
A beloved culinary tradition of St. Patrick’s Day in the U.S. is corned beef, and US Wellness Meats offers a fabulous all-natural house recipe for 100% grass fed corned beef. Our corned beef contains NO nitrates or nitrites…just beef, water, sea salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, coriander, citric acid, and all natural pickling spices clove, cinnamon, and allspice. By using simple seasonings and high-quality grass-fed beef, this corned beef provides rich flavor without synthetic preservatives, aligning with our commitment to delicious and nutritious foods without the junk. Before you buy that grocery store corned beef, take a look at the ingredients and compare.
For those who enjoy DIY culinary projects, making your own corned beef at home using a 100% grass fed beef brisket from US Wellness Meats can be a delicious addition to St. Patrick’s Day traditions. The process typically involves curing the brisket in a brine made from water, sea salt, and pickling spices, allowing it to absorb flavor over several days before gently simmering it to tender perfection. Using grass fed brisket not only enhances the dish’s nutritional profile but also delivers a deeper, more robust beef flavor. Whether enjoyed with cabbage, potatoes, or crafted into hearty sandwiches, homemade corned beef is a delicious way to celebrate the holiday with authenticity and care.
All the Best, Team USWM |

Guide to Brisket
Brisket is one of America’s most popular cuts of beef — legendary for its flavor and texture. Let’s see how good it is for you. Brisket is a moderately lean cut that delivers substantial protein, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. For optimal nutrition, choose grass-fed, grass-finished brisket, which offers better omega-3 ratios and higher CLA content

February Featured Chef
Our Featured Chef for March 2026 is Ethan Paff. Ethan is a health educator and content creator focused on making nutrition simple, practical, and grounded in how our bodies were designed to function. Ethan has a background in Biology and personal experience with autoimmune thyroid issues. Ethan began developing his passion for cooking at a very young age and has used his extensive knowledge to help face his own health challenges. “The quality of the food we eat is inseparable from how it’s raised. Just like with our bodies, the inputs determine the outputs. If I’m intentional about what my food is exposed to, I’m being intentional about what I’m exposed to. Today, grass-fed meats aren’t a trend for me—they’re the logical choice.” — Ethan Paff Lean ground beef forms the foundation, with a small amount of grated grass-fed liver mixed in for a micronutrient boost. Roasted potatoes add easy-to-digest carbohydrates, green beans bring texture and balance, and kefir rounds everything out with calcium and gut-supportive cultures. The result is warm, savory, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy. Ethan's Ground Beef & Liver Bowl is nutritious & delicious! See the Recipe
