What to bring?
Anything from Nourishing Traditions, the Healthy 4 Life booklet or Recipes of the Week would be wonderful. A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats is always a great contribution.
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 serving utensils for your dish. Thanks!
This comes to us from a local Eugene Chapter volunteer:
I’ve been emailing the farmers that sell meats at Eugene Local Foods (the online farmer’s market here in Lane County).
They are starting to offer nutrient dense meat parts and I request your help by purchasing them and feeding them to you family.
Here are the new offering and some of my favorites:
- Duck Feet ($6.25/5 lb) makes amazing bone broth, cook 48 hours on simmer then strain after beating all the parts a bit with a spoon.
- Chicken Feet same as duck feet
- Duck Gizzards they are looking into selling them
- I’m asking about Chicken Gizzards
- Duck Hearts I’ve just gotten the first order (3.90 LB)
They sell all these livers:
- Beef, Duck, Chicken, Lamb
- I purchased Pork Kidneys they were delicious ($.63/pair)
- Lamb Hearts OMG, I’m in love
I always freeze these items for a minimum of 12 days before eating. I’ve learned to NEVER over cook any of the organ meats.
Please consider checking out this resource. I find most of these items to be reasonably priced. They also sell bones, and the prices for bones have been going up. Meaty Lamb Bones were $.95/lb, now they are $1.95/lb :((
Deck Family Farm sells a ground mixture of organ meats for $6 a pound (in the pet section). It’s very good, I just find it a bit expensive.
Thanks, Rouanna

Food Demo: Beef Heart & Watermelon Salad
Our topic for this month is Organ Meat. We will be making a wonderful recipe from our Variety Meats Class, called “Beef Heart & Watermelon Salad”. It was voted favorite dish by several of the class attendees! (For photo, see: Varitey Meats Class – In Review). Please bring your organ meat questions, we will try to answer them all.
Bring a Dish:
Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us for some great food and great conversation! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party. For food ideas see our Notes on Potlucks page.

Every time we ask participants at the end of one of our classes what other topics they would like us to cover, someone says: Organ Meats. For years we have wondered… Are we were ready to teach an organ meats class?… Are you all ready to attend one?
We teachers have been trying out recipes from Nourishing Traditions and old cookbooks, and have been meeting to sample the results. They are good! We all agreed that we will eat these foods and serve them to our families. Yes, we are ready to teach them, and we think you are ready to taste and learn to use these nutrient-dense foods.
