A Big Thank You

Hello friend,

Today I wanted to stop and take the opportunity to tell you thank you for making a big difference with the dollars that you spend on food.

1. You're making a difference in things that matter like the health of your family. You have chosen to feed them the cleanest nutrient dense food you can get your hands on.

2. You're making a difference for the ethics of how animals are raised and how our environment is cared for, when you support local regenerative farms like The Maker's Meadow.

3. You're making a difference in the local economy because you're no longer supporting factory farms and a broken food system that brings products in from far away places.

Remember the article I recently shared from Joel Salatin? Yeah, so you know what I mean by factory farms and a broken food system.

In 2018, we served you a little over 2000 pounds of clean healthy meat products.

In 2019, we served you a little over 5100 lb of clean healthy meat products.

In 2020, by the middle of September we have already served you over 5,800 lb of healthy meat products!!!

I think this is really amazing! That is almost 3 tons of clean healthy meat raised in your community and served on your tables congratulations!!

And I really don't see any reason we cannot double what we did last year. We can provide you with 10,300 lb of good clean healthy meat by the end of 2020. Are you in?

I think the goal is very obtainable when I think about the harvest coming this fall. We have the exclusive Lamb Harvest offers coming up soon, Thanksgiving turkeys, and Beef Harvest

Just think that would be over 5 tons of clean healthy food grown here in the local community! Sounds pretty amazing huh?

Thank you again for your support,

I really do appreciate you as a valued customer!

May God bless you for the difference you're making for your family and our food system!!

Know Your Beef: Understanding the Difference Between Our Premium and Standard Offerings

If you've been following our journey, you know that transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here at The Maker's Meadow. As more folks look closely at where their food comes from, I want to take a moment to explain the key differences between our Premium and Standard beef offerings. While both are far removed from conventional feedlot beef, they’re not the same—and that’s intentional. Here’s what you need to know: 🥩 Premium Beef Raised Right Here on Our Farm Our Premium beef is the gold standard—regeneratively raised by our own hands, with full control over every step of the process. These animals roam freely on diverse pasture, nurtured by nature. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs – No genetically modified feed or seed. 💉 Steroids & Hormones – Never used to enhance growth. 💊 Antibiotics – Absolutely none, ever. 💉 Vaccines – Not administered; we focus on natural immunity. ☠️ Chemicals – No synthetic dewormers, pesticides, or sprays once they arrive on our farm. However, they may be exposed to chemicals as calves prior to arriving. 🌍 Regenerative Practices – Always improving soil, water, and wildlife health. 🟢 Best for: Those seeking the cleanest, most natural beef available—with full transparency and minimal environmental impact. 🍔 Standard Beef Sourced from a Trusted Farming Partner Our Standard beef is still raised with integrity—on pasture, with humane care—from Marksbury Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, who shares our commitment to better meat. But since it’s not under our direct stewardship, there are a few important differences. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs 💉 Steroids & Hormones 💊 Antibiotics ⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee: ☠️ Chemicals – Possible use of synthetic dewormers or pasture treatments. 💉 Vaccines – May be used as part of herd health protocols. 🟡 Best for: Customers looking for a high-quality, pasture-raised option at a more accessible price point, but who may not require the same level of purity as our Premium line. 🤝 Why Offer Both? Raising truly regenerative beef is deeply rewarding—but also labor-intensive and limited in scale. By offering both Premium and Standard options, we’re able to: Serve more families and communities Support other responsible farmers Stay true to our values of honesty and health Whether you choose Premium or Standard, you’re rejecting factory farming and supporting a future where soil, animals, and people thrive together. 💬 Have Questions? I’m always here to talk. When you know your farmer, you know your food—and I’m grateful to walk this path with you. 📧 Reach out anytime: support@makersmeadow.com Eat well and stay grounded.

A Big Thank You
