We made our awesome Kimchi and had lots of beautiful brine left after we packaged it. It is a thick, spicy and very flavorful brine that still has chunks of napa cabbage in it! It is absolutely delicious on rice, meats, eggs and just as a dipping sauce. It is also a wonderful soup base. Just like our Kimchi the sauce is living and vibrant, full of naturally occurring probiotics, never heated, and as with all of our ferments, its flavor continues to evolve with time. Ingredients: Napa Cabbage, Daikon Radish*, Scallions*, Apples*, Onions*, Garlic*, Ginger*, Rice Flour*, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gochugaru Red Pepper Flakes, Sugar*

5 of our incredibly healthy and delicious 1 lb packages Piedmontese Ground Beef! An incredibly lean ground beef - almost NO run off - yet still moist and delicious! Piedmontese is a naturally low fat, low cholesterol beef. Due to it's genetic disposition to "double muscling", this beef upholds its integrity, tenderness, and flavor. WHY PIEDMONTESE? From the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia, we bring you a very rare, very gourmet, heritage breed! Piedmontese is unique in that it is one of the only breeds to carry the myostatin gene - resulting in a "double muscling" trait and an animal that is magnificent to behold - think Hulk Hogan...but beautiful. Which then translates to an absolutely beautiful cut of meat with fine fibers and very low fat. It is so lean the American Heart Association endorses Piedmontese as a Heart Healthy Food! And it's history is pretty incredible too- the purity of the Piedmontese bloodline dates back 25,000 years ago to the late stone age...back when homo neanderthalensis coexisted with homo sapiens, stalking wooly mammoths and being stalked by saber toothed cats. Making its bloodline "one of the most unique gene pool of any breed of cattle in the world." FOR THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY & ALL THINGS FARMING... Our farming philosophy is pure and simple - respecting our animals and our pastures with no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals...from birth to finish. We choose to crossbreed our certified Piedmontese bull, Al, to "mom's" of various breeds who are chosen for their propensity to grass finishing. Thus tailoring our beef for superior qualities. The "double muscling" gene, however, is dominant and is the influencing trait in all of our Piedmontese beef. We like to think if it as the miracle meat..."You can have your steak and eat it too!"

Let's take stock (ha!) in that magic elixir, a SUPERFOOD - bone broth - and it's restorative health benefits... Since the dawn of time to present - age old sages to modern day medicine - have heralded homemade broth as the panacea...the cure all.

AND HERE'S WHY: 1. packed full of protein, gelatin, calcium, chondroitin, glucosamine, collagen, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, and numerous other vitamins & minerals....2. GLUCOSAMINE as well as collagen are all vital players in JOINT HEALTH and can help in the healing of joint pain and injuries - including rheumatoid ARTHRITIS....3.

Bone broth also carries tons of the amino acid, glycine which aids the liver in DETOXIFICATION.....6. And did I mention that it is also FANTASTIC FOR bone density, eye and brain function and even helps FIGHT free radical damage!! USE IT IN: slow cooked stews, delicious Bloody Mary's, rice (in place or mixed in with the water used!), sautéed veggies, salad dressing, fondue with it, and/or replace your daily coffee with a warm cup of bone broth to reap all the benefits (REALLY!!)
