Nordic Hills Farm Grass Fed Organic* Beef, Lamb & Chicken

There's a new recall on large quantities of ground beef, due to possible E. coli contamination.

E. coli is a bacterium that may be found in the intestines of cattle.  Certain forms of E. coli produce toxins that can cause uncomfortable and sometimes serious medical consequences in those who eat tainted meat, most often as ground beef.

In order for E. coli to thrive inside the intestine of the animal, there must also be grain present in the mixture of the feed the animal is digesting.

Animals raised as pastured do not ever eat grain.  Pastured beef is E. coli free!

 

 

 

 

1. Swine Flu cannot be caught by eating pork.

2. What is the source of Swine Flu and other similar illnesses such as bird flu?  Take the time to follow this link http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_17763.cfm to learn how most of the meats you buy at  super markets are raised and why we farm the way we do.

Permanent pasture at Nordic Hills Farm stores carbon.  Managed intensive grazing does this as well as grow and finish cattle fed only on grass.  Have a good day!  Greenpaw Jim

We are fortunate to have quite a number of grandchildren, nineteen in fact.  The youngest are twin sisters, 4 1/2 years old now, who at a younger age couldn't quite say  "Grandma" and "Grandpa."   It came out "Greenpaw" and "Greenmaw".  Awhile later, after hearing this enough times to make an impression,  I decided I liked this language a lot!  It fit both my generational status and my farmer's choice to go "green". 

Kind regards to you, Greenpaw Jim

New farm babies!  Nine spring calves await the arrival of their half brothers and sisters.   Last year's spring bovines, the yearlings are enjoying the spring flush of grass after weaning from the mamas.  Lambs are due to arrive next week.  The baby chicks are peeping away in their new home in our basement after leaving the hatchery.  Three weeks from how they'll be chasing crickets outdoors.
