Eat Like Great Grandma Unfortunately for millions of Americans, the standard western diet has become a jumbled mess of carbohydrates, sugar, and overly processed fast food. With the increase in autoimmune disorders, obesity, and nastier cold & flu seasons, more and more people are finding ancestral diets offer healing and restoration. Studies are showing what many have already figured out through experience; low carb, primal style diets are loaded with nutrition our bodies have been craving. We visit with people every day who have experienced some type of food allergies or autoimmune disorders and were able to restore a healthy balance through ancestral dieting. Some of the more popular ancestral diets include Paleo, Ketogenic, AIP, Weston Price, Whole30, Atkins, Carnivore, and Primal. It may take some experimentation to find one that suits your body, but any of them will get you on a low-carb track that begins to train your body to burn cleaner fats instead of carbs. Burning healthy fats for fuel gives your body longer lasting energy without the crashes. If you're stuck trying to decide, consider what your great grandparents would have eaten and start there. We have Special Diet categories to help choose foods to get started. If you have health concerns, check with a dietician or health & wellness coach. Give us a call or send us an email, we'd be happy to recommend someone. April Featured Chef | Monica Little Allow us to introduce our Featured Chef for April, Monica Little.

Shipping Updates | Shipping Delayed Due To Order Volume As many of our patrons know, normally, when you place your order Sunday through 10 am Wednesday, you’ll receive your package that same week. Any orders placed after 10 am Wednesday will be shipped the following week. Nothing has been normal about March 2020 though. With the increased order volume we’ve seen over the last few weeks, everyone here is working overtime to package and ship your order as soon as possible. If you've ordered recently, keep an eye on our shipping updates page for information about our progress. We also have a green banner on our front page with up to date information. Orders are processed in the order they are received. We appreciate your patience as we try to keep up. Restocking You may also have noticed we're having a difficult time keeping items in stock. Our meat cutters are some of the best in the biz and cutting as fast as safely possible. After meats are cut and packaged, they go into our state of the art -10 degree Quick Freeze system. The order volume has been beyond anything we've experienced in 20+ years so keep an eye on your email for restock notifications. We're doing the best we can to serve clean, healthy foods to as many people as possible.
