Nature's Harmony

As someone who has been following the Nature's Harmony blog for several months, I was surprised to see the nearby farm featured in a New York Times article:

Nature’s Harmony will never make the Youngs wealthy again, but they seem past caring. “A lot of what I’ve done in my business life, I don’t think it really means anything,” Tim said. “There’s this whole — you’re seeing a lot of it now with all the politics and bailouts — way to make money in the world but not really do anything to contribute. I feel like what we do is important. But it’s not financially rewarding. Who cares? As long as you can make it on your own.” He tugged on his weathered hat and added, “Let me tell you something: we’re going to eat well.”


I love beef. What I don't love, however, is the idea of a shortened life due to heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the US for both men and women. For this reason, the Hommes household has been experimenting with grass-fed beef in our kitchen (we already made the switch to healthier eggs). It is a little leaner, and a little chewier, but if the research is correct, it would be well worth adapting to eating meat and eggs that come from animals that are fed (gasp!) their natural diet.
