We are happy to announce the newest products we are adding to our store!

Just in time for fall and colder months, we are now carrying a NEW line of delicious broths: Chicken Broth, Pet Broth, and Vegetable broth.

Brooks Broth is a local Boise business that uses our pastured chicken to make their incredibly delicious and nutritious chicken and pet broth. We are very excited to be carrying Brooks shelf-stable broth that is not even comparable to the "broth" they sell at regular stores. You will never be able to go back to store-bought broth after tasting Brooks Broth.

In addition to adding this fantastic broth line, we are now carrying Kerrygold products: Cheese and butter.

Kerrygold is not a local dairy from the Boise area, but we tried to find a local dairy to supply butter and cheese. We almost ordered a large amount of cheese from a local Idaho dairy, but we found out at the last minute that they could not guarantee that their dairy cows received GMO-free grains. This was a disappointment because we wanted to work with other small producers like ourselves, but finding a dairy that uses non-GMO grains and grass-fed cows isn't easy.

If anyone has any leads on a dairy that would fit our criteria above, please let us know! But for now, we wanted to make sure everyone has easy access to quality grass-fed butter and cheese!

With all these new products, we have created a new storefront page called Cooking Essentials. In the Cooking Essentials storefront, you will find Brooks Broth, the Kerrygold cheese and butter, cooking lard, eggs, and honey.

We are always looking for new products that fit well with our business mission of providing food you can trust that will help make it easier for you to cook the highest quality food for your family.

🧩 “Who Controls Your Beef?” 🥩 The Big Four: 85% of America’s Beef Controlled by 4 Companies 💬 “When just four companies process most of the beef in our country, we don’t just lose competition — we lose connection.” — Liz Cunningham Panel 1: The Players ProcessorOwnership% of MarketKnown ForJBS USABrazil (JBS S.A.)~25%Largest meat processor in the world; ransomware attack 2021 shut down 20% of U.S. meat supplyTyson FoodsU.S.~22%COVID shutdowns led to mass cattle backlogs; ongoing price-fixing litigationCargill Meat SolutionsU.S.~22%Commodity-driven global agribusiness; joint settlements for antitrust violationsNational Beef (Marfrig Global Foods)Brazil~18%Foreign-owned; major importer/exporter balancing U.S. beef and South American supply 📊 Together: 85–87% of all beef processed in the United States Panel 2: The Hidden Costs 💵 Price Control: Coordinated market behavior drives rancher profits down and retail prices up. 🥩 Supply Risk: When one major plant shuts down — like JBS in 2021 — U.S. beef supply can drop 20% overnight. 🌎 Foreign Influence: Two of the four are Brazilian-owned, meaning U.S. beef production decisions are made overseas. 🐄 Lost Independence: Family ranchers can’t compete with massive volume pricing. Processing access becomes bottlenecked.

More on How Grazing Got Complicated- it's a "heated" debate

🌾 How Grazing Got Complicated Back in the early 1900s, before federal oversight, ranchers and homesteaders often clashed over access to grazing land. By the 1930s, the BLM was formed to manage who could graze and where. Then came the 1960s — and with it, new fencing requirements, reduced grazing allotments (AUMs, or Animal Unit Months), and tighter federal restrictions. But, this isn't just a difference of opinion, this becomes a "heated" debate when fires are not well managed and threaten our lands and the solution is rooted in good stewardship of the land as nature intended.
