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.

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.

Paul Wetzel, visionary charcutier of Gramercy Tavern — Danny Meyer’s pioneering, Michelin-starred seasonal restaurant in Manhattan — is like a troubadour of cured meat, traveling from town to town to share the ancient art, listening and learning as he goes.
