I just finished a batch of homemade dandelion jelly, and it’s absolutely dreamy, like sunshine and honey had a baby.

We’ve been trained to see dandelions as a nuisance, but they’re actually full of antioxidants, vitamins, and history. This jelly is a sweet reminder that beauty and value often show up in the most unexpected places.

Friends!! Get you a couple paw paw trees! They're the largest native fruit bearing tree in North America even here in Michigan. They're cold hardy and grow well in zones 5-9. The fruit is almost tropical-like, it's like a banana and a mango had a little custard baby. They make great ice cream!

Both pigs were raised under identical free range conditions. The right was supplemented with some grain/corn/soy based feed the left was left to forage naturally

Pretty much shows the benefits of grass fed and finished meat. It should also give you some indication of what a diet of all grain/soy/corn grains do to their bodies.

Your health matters. It matters now and it will matter years from now.

I have seen a huge increase in tallow products online. Unfortunately, not all are created equal. While tallow is an incredible ingredient for skincare, the difference between grass-fed and grain-fed tallow is significant—and choosing the wrong one can impact your results. I could easily go to the butcher and buy grain-fed beef suet to render into tallow to make my product but I won't put out a product that I don't trust fully. Finding a great source for grass fed/grass finished tallow isn't always the easiest task.

Why Grass-Fed Matters

Grass-fed tallow comes from animals raised on a natural diet of grass, resulting in a product that’s far superior in quality and nutritional value. In contrast, grain-fed tallow is derived from animals fed a diet of grains, soy, and corn—often raised in confined feedlots and exposed to pesticides, and possibly antibiotics.

1. Nutritional Superiority

Grass-fed tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are crucial for skin hydration, repair, and overall health. It also contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), both of which have anti-inflammatory properties that benefit the skin. These nutrients are much lower in grain-fed tallow, reducing its effectiveness.

2. Skin Safety and Purity

Grain-fed tallow may carry traces of toxins from the animal’s diet or environment, which can irritate your skin. Grass-fed tallow, however, is cleaner and safer, making it ideal for sensitive or problem-prone skin.

3. Skin-Like Composition

Grass-fed tallow has a fatty acid profile that closely matches the natural oils in human skin. This allows it to moisturize deeply, heal damaged skin, and restore balance without clogging pores. Grain-fed tallow doesn’t offer the same compatibility.

4. Ethical and Environmental Responsibility

Grass-fed farming practices emphasize animal welfare and environmental sustainability. Choosing grass-fed tallow supports regenerative farming and reduces the negative impact of industrialized agriculture, unlike grain-fed systems.

Be sure to look for grass-fed on the label.
