John and I want to thank Jonah Beleckis for the beautiful article he wrote for Wisconsin Public Radio. The continued support and well wishes of so many of you warms our hearts.

Dorothy and John Priske chose in the late 1990s to shift their farm to a more environmentally friendly all-grass system. It was a decision that started them on a path to selling their cattle’s meat across the state.

We're honored to be a part of this story about raising, processing, butchering and eating meat sustainably.

The desire for sustainable beef, pork and poultry can quickly run up against a lack of understanding about how that meat gets to the table.
