We keep it very simple.
Processed = NO!
Honey and syrup are all we need for sweetening. The kids love it.
Meat, If we didn't feed it, shoot it, or catch it, we don't eat it. household rule.
Steroids, growth hormones, meat shipped in from China or overseas, NO WAY!
We seldom grow enough in the summer to last through the winter, but we can, preserve, and buy only vegetables from people we know.
Daily "Bee Pollen" but make sure it is local. It cracks me up how many people buy pollen from GNC and places like that, and they are buying protection for a place a thousand miles away. Again. If you don't know the grower, don't bother with it.
We cook with lard, but it is from home. Most cooking takes place on the grill outside, Chicken, eggs, are all from the yard.
Don't let white butter turn you off! Just skim the creme off of the milk in the morning and put it in an electric ice cream maker. You'll have fresh butter in 20 minutes.
Leave enough creme for the cereal. Oats, fresh creme, rasins, and honey simply cannot be beat for breakfast.
