Nutritional Building Blocks
This cannot be exaggerated or overstated: parenthood is a life change. New parents experience the quick transition of caring for another human that needs every bit of their attention. With all the changes, it can be a challenge to remember the importance of diet. Consider that a developing baby absorbs everything a mother puts in her body during pregnancy— good and bad. A child's long-term health and wellness are influenced by choices the mom makes prenatally through early childhood & beyond. Habits formed in early childhood carry on into adulthood, so the snacks and meals we share with our children are important! Do you enjoy a sugary soda and share sips with the toddler? Sugar, food dyes, caffeine, and other additives affect children more than adults. We see evidence of unhealthy food consumption in children’s behavior and dental caries. Consistent exposure to overly-processed foods and drinks may stunt the growth of the brain and body. In contrast, children fed nutrient-rich diets of healthy Omega-3 fats and choline tend to have more remarkable development and capabilities. Choline consumption during pregnancy, found in egg yolks, lean red meat, and poultry, has boosted cognitive benefits and sustained concentration.
While it's tempting to take the easy, processed food route with toddlers or picky eaters, providing a variety of healthy choices and modeling a smart diet will eventually lead to our children making healthy choices on their own. If you really want to up the ante on your child's development, consider including organ meats into their diet. A sneaky bit of liverwurst in a burger or casserole can supercharge nutrition.
Health + Wellness | Choline During Pregnancy
Nourish developing babies throughout pregnancy! A Cornell study shows that 7-year-olds performed better on a challenging, attention-based task if their mothers consumed twice the recommended amount of choline during their pregnancy. Choline – found in egg yolks, lean red meat, fish, poultry, legumes, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables – is absent from most prenatal vitamins. More than 90% of expectant mothers consume less than the recommended amount… Learn more about the benefits of choline during pregnancy!

Know Your Farmer | Healthy Soils for High Quality Nutrition
Know your food, know your farmer is something we talk a lot about here at US Wellness Meats. We hope this saying inspires people to take a minute to ponder where their food is sourced. For vegetables, is it sourced from farms free of pesticides, herbicides, and non-Gmo? What about protein - have these animals been raised without antibiotics or added growth hormones? These are questions we all deserve to know when deciding how to fuel our bodies. Are we helping nourish our bodies with every bite or holding them back from achieving our best selves?
This quality starts from the ground up beginning with healthy soils that provide an elite foundation for our farms, our animals, and our patrons. See the pastures in action with our On The Farm series narrated by Lead Farmer, John Wood. From pasture rotations to our state-of-the-art meat cutting room where we carefully package products for your families, you will have the chance to experience how much quality means to our team. With each order we hope you can taste the grass-fed difference.
