A few weeks ago, NPR had a segment on their Science Friday show about antibiotics in our food and the issue of antibiotic resistance. Turns out there's a lot we just don't know but some of what we do know is a little scary. Find out more.

A conventional farmer would argue that their GMO fed, constantly-medicated, factory-style animals are better than ones raised organically. This might seem strange to you, but there are a few ways they have valid points. Here is what you need to know.

In his blog, gatesnotes, Bill Gates recently wrote about the benefits of raising chickens for poor people around the globe as part of the Gates Foundation -coop dreams- partnership with Heifer International. A quote from him: It’s pretty clear to me that just about anyone who’s living in extreme poverty is better off if they have chickens.

We had a lot of people stop by our booth at the CSA Fair this weekend. And we learned a lot about the sorts of things people want to know about our farm. We put together the answers to 5-6 of the most common questions and made this video.

We'll be at the Seward Co-Op's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair this Saturday, April 16th from 11am - 2pm. This is your chance to learn about all sorts of great local CSAs. If you (or your friends) have some questions you'd like to ask Farmer Jack, there's never been a better time!

We're really excited about a couple of changes here on the farm. One of the most obvious ones is our name. We've shortened it a little. But that's the ONLY shortcut we take!

A newly published study tallies the hidden cost of something we've been watching for years: The packaging commonly used in meats may be causing serious health problems. This report finds the chemicals used in meat packaging may conservatively cause over 1.5 BILLION dollars of damage every year in the European Union. And that is just focusing on two diseases which may be associated with them.
