With success comes challenges: Right now there is a movement in the commercial food industry to change the definition of the word “heritage,” and attempt to lay claim to the very thing that has defined us and sustained our farmers since we began selling heritage breeds in 2001.
One of the best things about making big dinners is having leftovers for lunch the next day. Usually, if we have some steak or lamb left over, it is going into a sandwich. But have you thought about making hash? Lamb hash is a very special treat indeed — just like beef hash all you […] The post Leftovers! appeared first on HERITAGE FOODS USA.
From the “Carnivore’s Manifesto” by Heritage Foods USA founder Patrick Martins In the words of Mae West, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!” As in all things, of course, a little common sense could prevail. But I’m sick of people telling me to eat only plants. Sure, health is wealth and all […] The post In Celebration of the Feast! appeared first on HERITAGE FOODS USA.
We were having so much fun talking about “turkeys of the 1970s” – a time when real Heritage turkeys were having a tough time fighting against the influx of industrial farming and a trend towards growing everything cheaper and faster, no matter what the ultimate cost — that we thought we’d go back and look at some of favorite TELEVISION TURKEYS of the 1970s!
The Heritage warehouse in Brooklyn is always a beehive of activity, filling orders, taste-testing, talking to our customers, always on the look-out for new treats and rarities, but holiday time is like no other. Gearing up towards Christmas and New Year’s, everyone here is mad to throw dinner parties, cocktail soirees, and to never show up empty handed at the non-stop holiday fiestas that are part of life during the holidays!
Oh, those wacky 1970s, when it seemed that just everyone was wearing white bellbottoms and dancing to the Hustle. That may have worked if you were eighteen-years-old and could get around on platform shoes, but when it was your uncle Murray trying to act hip, pretending to be younger than he was (by a lot!), we had an expression for him: Jive turkey!
Frank is a true hero of the Heritage food movement — he is the first and only sustainable commercial farmer to receive certification by the American Poultry Association for his birds as purebreds, standards that were set in 1873 — and he has been featured in publications ranging from the New York Times to National Geographic. His story is the Rosetta Stone of sustainable farming, and the reason why when it comes to meat, the word “heritage” is synonymous with “heirloom.” Good Shepherd turkeys are the oldest line of turkey in America, 100 percent antibiotic free, and pasture raised on the Kansas prairie.
Echoing Patrick’s sentiment in last week’s blog, I want to thank all of our supporters for helping to make October 2017 another exceptional #GOATOBER. We couldn’t have done this project without our fearless home chefs. And we REALLY couldn’t have moved 150+ goats if it were not for our adventurous and tireless chefs. This […] The post Restaurants Celebrate Goatober Too (by Emily Pearson) appeared first on HERITAGE FOODS USA.
