We have a special treat for you all this summer! We have arranged a tour to the McAllister Family Farm and Creamery. They are a small family operated farm, providing pastured raw milk, chicken eggs and beef to its herd share members. Lori McAllister will give us a tour and answer questions about their certified A2/A2 milk, pastured eggs and beef production.
Then we will have a potluck picnic and tasting of raw milk cheese and fresh milk. Please bring something to share.
Carpool:
If you would like to receive a ride out to the farm, we will meet by Natural Grocers at 3:10 PM, and leave promptly at 3:20. You must RSVP to ensure that there is a seat available for you!
If you would like to offer a ride in your vehicle, please contact us.
In our modern world, cholesterol has become almost a swear word. Thanks to the promoters of the diet-heart hypothesis, everybody “knows” that cholesterol is “evil” and has to be fought at every turn. If you believe the popular media, you would think that there is simply no level of cholesterol low enough. Americans have been told to avoid eggs, cream and other high cholesterol foods in effort to lower their cholesterol.
The truth is that we humans cannot live without cholesterol. Come see why high cholesterol foods belong in your diet.
This is part of our introductory series. Please bring a guest!
Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream. If you come to the potlucks regularly, please try to bring a dish from a different category every so often.
Bring enough to share with everyone and be sure to include some traditional fats!
Children and guests welcome. Please bring dishes and serving utensils for your dish. Thanks!
In contrast to the modern low-fat fad diet proponents, we encourage the use of animal fats and tropical oils. Traditional people valued fat and went to great expense to insure that they had enough of it. Butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, are all wonderful fats and oils to include in the diet. Small amounts of cold-pressed flax or other fragile polyunsaturated oils are good to include, but are needed in much smaller quantities than the stable saturated and monounsaturated fats. Fat content of traditional diets ranged from 30% to 80% of calories, but only a small percentage was from polyunsaturated oils. Most fat in traditional diets was the saturated and monounsaturated fats from animals and tropical oils. All natural fats and oils contain a mix of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.
We will discuss where, why and how to include saturated fats in your traditional diet. This is part of our introductory series. Please bring a guest!
Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream.

Wise Traditions Principle #2 – All traditional cultures consume some sort of animal food, such as fish and shellfish; land and water fowl; land and sea mammals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects. The whole animal is consumed—muscle meat, organs, bones and fat, with the organ meats and fats preferred.
We will discuss where, why and how to include animal foods in your traditional diet. We have information on Local Butchers & Markets and our Farm List. This is part of our introductory series. Please bring a guest!

Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened in order to neutralize naturally occurring antinutrients in these foods, such as phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and complex carbohydrates.
We will talk about how and why to soak nuts and seeds before consuming them.

Just wanted to let you know that due to being snowed-in without power and some personal overwhelm, I did not schedule the room at Natural Grocers in time for this month’s potluck (this is why I need some additional support, let me know if you would like to Volunteer).
Consequently, there will be no potluck in March.
We are waiting on confirmation for the Keto Support Group and DVD.
Upcoming Event dates (as it stands right now):
Friday, March 8: Potluck – Cancelled
Wednesday, March 13: Keto Support Group – Postponed
