Bone broth! It's the newest thing for our household. Using Farmtable broiler bones and backs with a variety of coarsely cut veggies, we make a thick, nutrient fortified broth over the course of 10 hours in the slow cooker. Delicious and so good for you! If you're a strength workout athlete, check out the health benefits of bone broth! Thanks to for the recipe.

Every 10 years or so, we do a major pruning of our avocados, taking the branches back to the center trunk. The resulting growth is greener, more vibrant, and ultimately more fruitful.

As with our pruned trees, so can life's peaks and valleys help refine us into people of character. Strength of character and wisdom to discern goodness often result from these life defining experiences. If you're in the valley, keep your eyes on the peak ahead. It will come my friend! Such a powerful life metaphor from the farm!

To butterfly a whole chicken, remove the backbone from neck to tail. Open and push down the rib cage to flatten the bird. Season with your favorite poultry rub and let chill for a couple hours. Grill skin side down over in-direct medium heat for 20 minutes then flip and go another 15-20 minutes. Pull off when skin is crispy and internal temp is 170. So delicious and simple. Above instructions are for a 4 lb bird. Add roughly 5 more minutes per lb. Enjoy!
