Rocky Ridge Farms’ commitment to producing nutrient-dense and mineral-rich foods through regenerative and biodynamic farming practices is deeply aligned with the principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation and the Bionutrient Food Association. These principles emphasize the importance of high-quality, nutrient-rich foods in healing the body and optimizing health. Here’s how the nutrient density of our products, including bone broth, organ meats, and animal fats, can support your well-being:

​

Nutrient and Mineral Density for Healing and Health Optimization

​

Rich in Essential Nutrients

Rocky Ridge Farms’ pasture-raised poultry, heritage pork, and grass-fed, grain-finished Wagyu beef are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. These include fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2, which are crucial for bone health, immune function, and cardiovascular health. Our animals graze on nutrient-rich pastures, leading to higher levels of these vital nutrients in the meat, supporting your body’s healing processes and overall vitality.

 

Bioavailable Minerals

Our regenerative farming practices ensure that the soil in which our animals graze is rich in bioavailable minerals. This results in higher mineral content in our meat, including copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, and selenium. These minerals play critical roles in immune function, energy production, and hormone balance. Consuming foods with a high mineral density can help address deficiencies, improve metabolic function, and support overall health and well-being.

​

The Healing Power of Bone Broth
Bone broth, a traditional food that we produce at Rocky Ridge Farms, is a powerhouse of nutrients. It is rich in collagen, gelatin, glycine, proline, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients are essential for joint health, skin elasticity, gut healing, and overall immune support. The collagen and gelatin in bone broth help repair and strengthen connective tissues, while glycine supports detoxification and improves sleep quality. Regular consumption of bone broth can reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and promote healthier skin, hair, and nails.

​

Nutrient-Dense Organ Meats
Organ meats from our pasture-raised animals are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can consume. Liver, heart, kidneys, and other organ meats are rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, B12, and folate, as well as minerals like iron, zinc, and copper. These nutrients are vital for energy production, red blood cell formation, cognitive function, and maintaining a healthy immune system. Organ meats also contain CoQ10, a powerful antioxidant that supports heart health and cellular energy production. Including organ meats in your diet can help address nutrient deficiencies, boost energy levels, and support overall health.

​

Healthy Fats for Optimal Health
The healthy fats found in our animal products, including grass-fed beef tallow, lard, and butter, are essential for optimal brain function, hormone production, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Rocky Ridge Farms’ focus on pasture-raised and regeneratively farmed animals ensures that the meat and fats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and other beneficial fats. These fats help reduce inflammation, support cognitive function, promote heart health, and maintain healthy hormone levels. Incorporating these natural, healthy fats into your diet can enhance satiety, support weight management, and improve overall metabolic health.

 

Alignment with Bionutrient Food Growing Principles

​

Soil Health and Biodiversity

The Bionutrient Food Association emphasizes the importance of soil health and biodiversity in producing nutrient-dense foods. At Rocky Ridge Farms, we practice regenerative farming methods that enhance soil fertility and promote biodiversity. Healthy soil is the foundation of nutrient-rich food, as it enables plants to absorb a wide range of minerals, which then pass on to the animals that graze on these plants. This cycle ensures that our animal products are packed with the nutrients your body needs to heal and thrive.

​

Regenerative Practices for Enhanced Nutrient Density
Our regenerative practices, such as rotational grazing and biodynamic farming, are designed to restore and maintain the health of the land. These practices not only improve soil structure and increase organic matter but also enhance the nutrient density of the food produced. By allowing animals to graze on diverse, nutrient-rich pastures, we ensure that the meat is more flavorful and contains higher levels of essential nutrients, supporting your body’s ability to heal and maintain optimal health.

​

Alignment with Weston A. Price Foundation Principles

​

Traditional Diets and Nutrient-Dense Foods
The Weston A. Price Foundation advocates for a return to traditional diets rich in nutrient-dense, whole foods. Rocky Ridge Farms’ approach aligns with these principles by focusing on the production of high-quality animal products that are raised naturally and sustainably. By consuming these nutrient-dense foods, including bone broth and organ meats, you provide your body with the essential building blocks it needs to repair tissues, strengthen the immune system, and maintain overall health.

 

Whole Foods for Holistic Health
The foundation also emphasizes the importance of consuming whole, unprocessed foods that are close to their natural state. Rocky Ridge Farms’ products are minimally processed, free from artificial additives, and produced in a way that honors both the animals and the environment. This ensures that the foods you consume are not only delicious but also packed with the nutrients and minerals needed to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

​

The Healing Power of Nutrient-Dense Foods
By incorporating Rocky Ridge Farms’ nutrient-dense and mineral-rich products, including bone broth, organ meats, and healthy animal fats, into your diet, you are nourishing your body with foods that are designed to heal and optimize health. The combination of regenerative farming practices, attention to soil health, and a focus on traditional, nutrient-rich foods means that every bite you take is a step toward better health, vitality, and overall well-being.
