Created from a vision of local sustainability, we’d like to introduce you to Grayson Natural Farms Beef Sticks. From the mountains surrounding Grayson County, Virginia, you can count on Grayson Natural Farms for the best quality, family owned, home grown and always 100% natural beef sticks. The cattle are 100% grass-fed on the lush mountain meadows available on the farms of the Grayson Family Farmers. Sustainable farming practices are a foundation at Grayson Natural, but they go even further to work in facilities that are Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Humane. This tells you two things: they love their farms and they love their animals – we all know the best food is made with love.
Your June Box will feature all natural, grass-fed beef sticks.
“At Grayson Natural Farms we raise food the way it was meant to be raised – in sunshine and fresh air!”
Grayson Natural cattle are all raised on small family farms. As with many of these farms the Mitchell farm has been in the family for three generations and both adults and children participate in raising healthy cattle that never receive antibiotics or hormones. Instead, they enjoy the benefits of grazing on open mountain pastures with clean mountain water.
Here’s a few of the benefits of Grayson Natural Farms and what sets their Beef sticks apart from the rest:
-Lower in cholesterol and saturated fats
-Higher in beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. Healthy fats, which are known to help generate lean muscle.
-Healthy antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin E. Antioxidants combat stress, keeping you feeling your best.
We recommend snacking on Grayson Natural Beef Sticks after your next workout. It’s high in protein and won’t raise your insulin levels!
In the spirit of summer we found the best fresh dried fruit around at Burkart Organics. For 50 years and across 3 generations the Burkart family has been at the forefront of the sustainable food movement. Their story starts with Grandma Burkart who in the 1920’s and 1930’s grew up on a farm that used sustainable/organic practices. They were one of the first in their county to become Certified Organic in 1979. The Burkart family farms span close to 100 acres in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley of Centeral California. Every aspect of their process is what makes their fruit the best quality.
Burkart Organics hand packages their fruit, it is then cut by hand, tended to by hand and finally picked up and bagged by hand. NO machines, everything is done the old fashioned way. It doesn’t stop there they leave out any and all preservatives, sulfur, sugars, or concentrates and only include all natural sun-dried sweetness in every bag.
Sweetened by the sun, tended to by hand and sealed with love.
Sulfur dioxide or sulfite is a preservative used in most dried fruits and its known to worsen asthma and pose other serious health risks. You can tell an organic dried fruit from a dried fruit with preservatives because the color is unnatural.

Meet a chef who likes the sweeter side of life, but never cuts corners to live it!
Inspired over 32 years ago she started baking clean treats for her two sons. By clean treats we mean she cut out refined sugar, zip, none! Unfortunately, today many kids only eat sweets containing this harmful substance. You would be surprised where it comes up in their diet, let’s just say school lunches are a major source (see just how much in this Ted Talk by Chef Jamie Oliver). However, this was not the case with Betty Lou’s kids, she educated them with a children’s book.
This is probably the most important part of the whole story, children need to be taught at a young age about nutrition.
“I read the book Sugar Blues to my boys,” confesses Betty Lou “They didn’t want sugar after I read that to them.”
She replaced this toxic ingredient with honey and brown rice syrup. In our April box we featured her delicious Nut Butter Balls and Smackers, two delectable caramel peanut flavor snacks. These snacks have loads of protein are Non GMO and Gluten Free. So if you’re looking for a treat to satisfy a sweet tooth and give you some great nutrition, look no further. Betty Lou’s has something for the whole family.
