Thank You for Supporting Local ❤️

We just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who has come out to support us these last few weeks at the farmers markets.

We’ve been blessed with beautiful weather, met so many wonderful new friends, reconnected with familiar faces, and watched our local community come together to support not only us, but so many amazing local vendors.

Your support means more than you know. Every purchase, every conversation, and every smile reminds us why we love being part of these markets.

We truly appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope to see you throughout the rest of the season at the Johnston and Huxley Farmers Markets!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting local and supporting our family. ❤️🐄

Cooking tallow processed ! Will be ready to purchase tomorrow! Taking orders ! These are spoken for but making more!

Why We Love Cooking with Tallow

Tallow has been used for generations, long before highly processed seed oils became common. Some of the benefits include:

🥩 Rich in healthy fats that help keep you feeling satisfied longer.

🔥 High smoke point, making it great for frying, roasting, and sautéing without breaking down as easily as some other oils.

💪 Contains fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K (amounts vary depending on the animal’s diet).

🌱 Minimally processed and made from a single ingredient, unlike many refined cooking oils.

😋 Adds amazing flavor to potatoes, vegetables, meats, and other favorite recipes.

Like any fat, tallow is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, but for many people it’s a traditional, natural cooking fat that has stood the test of time.

Calving season is one of the best times of year around the farm 🤍🐄

There’s nothing sweeter than watching all the new babies run, jump, and play together in the pasture. And of course, you can’t forget the “teenagers” standing around watching all the chaos like they’re way too cool for it 😂

Farm life is never boring!

Good morning ! ☀️🐄

Today was a big day, we opened the gate and let the cows out to the back pasture to run free. Their excitement was the best part of the morning! Now they’re out wandering, sniffing around, munching on fresh grass, and soaking up the sunshine like they own the place.

Nothing better than happy cows enjoying a beautiful day on the farm. 🌾💛
