Ranching and Farming Practices

The Washington Post published an article in July 2017 by Jenna Gallegos in its Speaking of Science section. It's a good article in that it explains farming in a way that we rarely see in the media. It's like a breath of fresh air.

It's a rare American who raises food. Most are so disconnected from farming that they are totally clueless about it. Consequently most of the common knowledge is based on myths rather than facts. "Next time you're at the grocery store, consider these 10 modern myths about the most ancient occupation.

Here is a link to the article.

Hello, I've been shopping at Slanker Farms for about a year now and I couldn't be more impressed with your selection and service, it means a lot to me as I am focusing on real food nutrition to heal a lot of complicated health ailments.

Since you have the best selection of grass fed products I have come across, I am wondering if you also offer products for gardening and agriculture in addition to diet?  I am looking for some high quality grass fed (if I can find it...) bone meal and blood meal for amending the nutrient profile of my gardening soil.  I have ordered many of your bones before and am fairly certain I cannot process them into a powder, so I was wondering if you have the resources to provide this product?  If not, do you have any suggestions for processing chicken or beef bones into a powder or resources where I might be able to acquire these meals/powders?  Thanks!

No, we do not have those products.  In actual fact, any source for blood and bones will work.  Our blood and bones are no better than any other bones or blood you could obtain for feeding plants.  For feeding yourself though, that is an entirely different matter because animals do not absorb their nutrients like plants absorb their nutrients.  Plants are sustainable life forms and animals are dependent on sustainable life forms.
