there are more health benefits from
grass-fed foods," said Marg, citing
higher vitamin E and A and Omega 3
fatty acids.
"We're not trying to beat up on
conventional farmers," said Rick,
"but certain people want to know
what they're buying."
"We have nothing but respect for
farmers," added Marg. "But I really
believe you are what you eat. What
you put into your animals affects
yourself."
The fact that consumers today
are often concerned about what
they're eating is making the
direct to consumer method of
farming attractive as well. "No one
did well on the commodity market
this year. We like to do direct sales,"
says Rick.
"If people know the person from
whom they are purchasing their food
it's more reassuring," Marg adds.
"We eat it too."
Rick notes that in visiting the farm
to purchase the food, consumers can
also have the opportunity to have a
look at where the animals are raised
and how the farming operation runs.
"We can show them environmentally
what we do as well."
"They know a lot more about
where their food carne from."
