Hidden Root Farms

06/21/2022

It's been a hot minute since I was on here last (more like 6 months). Time sure does fly. Which is funny to say as that was something we said when considering our next move in life. Live life with no regrets and that's what we are doing. We sold the farm. Hidden Root Farms is taking a break, I'm taking a break! Rob retired from his job after 25 years too so we have hit the road. We bought a trailer and planning on traveling North America for a while. No real plan in place, just a guideline, a map and our gypsy souls! Life is too short to watch it pass by.
Writing this post took a while, I didn't know what to say. My customers turned into friends and my dream of building this business turned into so much more. I appreciate every single one of you that supported us over the years. I am not sure where we'll end up but we are going to have fun finding out.
Enjoy the summer everyone! Make memories, make time, stuff doesn't mean anything. Friends and family do. ❤

You have to be living under a rock if you haven't heard about all the nutritional benefits that bone broth offers.
It's really easy to make and you can use it in just about anything or simply just drink a cup!
After I roast whole chicken I don't let anything go to waste.
I used all the drippings and bones and tossed it into my instapot. Add some veggies, lots of garlic, seasoning and filtered water and 4 hours later, I have liquid gold! Just look at that colour!!!

I always start my broths with the finest ingredients available. Our chickens are raised without the use of any antibiotics or gmos and on organic pasture so I know I'm nourishing my body with the best. Afterall you are what you eat, eats.

Cooked to perfection.
1 large pasture raised chicken
Soaked overnight in brine (water, rosemary, salt, sugar)
Seasoned with salt, pepper, onions and fresh herbs.
Roasted at 350°f for 4 hours
And voila. Chicken for days! 🍗
Our freezers are fully stocked with your local pasture raised chicken. DM to place an order and schedule your delivery.
Food should be local not global.
Thanks for supporting small farmers!

Eating food that was raised naturally is the best thing for our overall health and immune system. Food was meant to be local not global.
Fall is the perfect time to plan on eating local year round by canning your vegetables, making your favorite sauces and freezing your soups.

Boy, it's been a while since I've been on here!
After spending a day with Jan talking about everything local she gave me a pep talk and inspired me to start sharing again! It's been a busy summer and with all the "goings on" in the world it was easy to unplug. But here I am! Busy farming, raising chickens and trying to do my best! Hope everyone had a great summer and are doing well!
I have lots to share including some new products and specials with lots of recipes and meal ideas!
Good to be back!

Let's talk about food!
Food nourishes our body, strengthens our mind, muscles and supports our immune system. Nature provides us with so much to stay healthy that in fact over half of todays pharmaceuticals are derived directly from the source!
This time of year eating local and using whole foods is super easy and fun! You can taste the freshness plus knowing that your food didn't have to travel thousands of miles to get to your plate is a win!!
Nourish your mind and body, eat local, eat whole foods and or course most importantly eat more chicken 😉

Sweet peppers
Green onions
Tomatoes
Shredded cheese
Sour Cream

Local Smoothie:
Kale

Caught and loaded.Farming isn't always glamorous. Sometimes it's hot, stinky, down right exhausting, heart breaking but it's rewarding 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤
This morning was particularly difficult, we couldn't fall asleep any earlier so when our alarm clock went off at 3am neither of us wanted to get up.
We're both looking forward to a nap and then Rob will be off to work. I'll lounge on the couch eating bonbons 🍬 (Jk, well maybe, just don't tell Rob!)

Do you know how your food is raised?
Getting to know your farmer and understanding how your food gets to your plate is more important than ever. I am a firm believer that the more we know about our food, our appreciation grows and in turn we will waste less. Eat local, eat in season, eat well.

Ahhhh.....coffee, fresh air and sunshine 🌞
It has started out to be a hectic day. With customer pickups, feed truck arriving and barn chores I needed to change the energy I was feeling.
Being an entrepreneur and farmer I can easily be side tracked from the things I want to accomplish each day. Somethings I just don't have control with like animal care, the weather or when delivery trucks will show up! I've learnt to deal with those variables and stop being so hard on myself when I fall behind. I am the toughest boss that I have ever worked for 😉👩‍🌾
