Sausage... A gourmet delicacy, yet it is the essence of nose-to-tail farm frugality. Nothing goes to waste when all the scraps and small pieces of meat are used to make sausage. Salting, smoking, fermenting, and drying are all ways to preserve meat for longer without refrigeration. Sausage made at home from the best local, pastured meats, mixed with tons of wholesome flavor, avoids all the chemicals found in processed meats.

Extended instead of sporadic! Here is one hot drink that gets my day going with maca!

I enjoy a good cup of coffee... Yet sometimes I crave a cup of tea.

Let tea drinkers rejoice that they can now have their mocha sans coffee!
