What does Spring look like in the SLV? It looks like a long, hopeful, stroll towards the warmth and green of summer....with a whole lotta wind, snow, and mud along the way...just to make things interesting. Even though the transition can be arduous, there are moments of great joy in the midst. Today was one of those. John looked out the dining room window today and remarked, "Well well...I can see green in the field today! I looked for it yesterday and I couldn't see it....but today I can!". Green is no small thing around here. It marks the beginning of inspired eating for our cows....and inspired planning/planting for our rancher. Pasture is at the heart of what we do.

Meat labeling practices are, at best, perplexing. We hope this will shed some light on some commonly held questions and concerns.
