- [5 Ways To Know You Can Trust Your Farmer](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/5-ways-to-know-you-can-trust-your-farmer/): A movement is happening across America. For decades, most people bought their food from grocery stores without giving much thought to where it came from. Today, more and more families are asking questions, and I know you’re one of them. You’ve probably asked these questions or some version of them: “Where was this animal raised?” “What did it eat?” “How was it treated?” “Who raised it?” According to USDA data, local and direct-to-consumer food sales have grown significantly in recent years, generating billions of dollars in sales and supporting thousands of family farms across the country. But statistics only tell part […]
- [The Old-Fashioned Way We Make Vegetables Taste Better](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/the-old-fashioned-way-we-make-vegetables-taste-better/): What Changed My Mind About Veggies If you had asked me five years ago whether I enjoyed veggies, I probably would have laughed. I ate them because I knew I was supposed to, not because I wanted to. Sure, I could eat salads (only if there was enough Ranch!), but most vegetables were something I endured because they were “healthy.” Then something changed. I married the most amazing cook on earth. You’ll have to excuse my bragging here, but I never tasted food like the food my wife Tabitha makes. She cooked veggies that I actually enjoyed! I was amazed at […]
- [How to Grill Chicken Drumsticks So They're Juicy Every Time](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/how-to-grill-chicken-drumsticks-so-theyre-juicy-every-time/): One of my favorite cuts of chicken is grilled chicken drumsticks, drenched in sweet, sticky BBQ sauce. (As my two-year-old would say, “I LIKE it!” 😊) If you’re like me and have tried to grill out and are discouraged because your drumsticks didn’t turn out juicy, the secrets I’m going to share with you will get you excited to get back out there and try again! The good news is that drumsticks are one of the easiest cuts of chicken to grill well. They’re affordable, flavorful, and much more forgiving than chicken breasts. And once you know how to follow these […]
- [The Easiest Roast Chicken You’ll Ever Make](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/the-easiest-roast-chicken-youll-ever-make/): I know a lot of people avoid cooking a whole chicken because it feels overwhelming. But honestly? A roast chicken might be one of the easiest suppers you can make. You basically sprinkle and rub a few things on the chicken, slide it into the oven, and let the oven do the work. That’s it. It’s so easy, Tabitha even trusts me to do this. 😂 And somehow, a whole roast chicken just makes a meal feel cozy. The house smells amazing. And this is a dish our daughter never refuses to eat. Wow, she can pack away a lot of […]
- [New Pickup Location in Viroqua](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/new-pickup-location-in-viroqua/): Over the last several months, I’ve heard from quite a few customers that it would be helpful to have a pickup location in Viroqua. So we’re gonna give it a try! One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten to know many of you is just how full life can feel sometimes. Between appointments, family gatherings, church activities, grandkids’ events, gardening season, travel, and simply keeping up with everyday life, adding another Saturday drive out to the farm isn’t always easy. I understand that. And while I still love having people come out to the farm, I also want buying nourishing food […]
- [Why Spring Means So Much To Me](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/why-i-love-springtime/): Hands down, the most meaningful part of spring for me is watching the trees bud and the grass turn green again. Every year it reminds me of what God did in my life ten years ago. Back then, life felt like a long, unending winter. Cold. Lifeless. Empty. Addiction has a way of draining everything good out of a person. It leaves you hollow. Numb. Always wanting more, but never satisfied. I know what that feels like because that was my reality. I had grown up in church. I knew all the stories. I knew the songs. I knew what the […]
- [Why So Many Families Are Walking Away from Grocery Store Chicken](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/why-so-many-families-are-walking-away-from-grocery-store-chicken/): A customer said something to me this week that struck me. She told me,“You’re just a wealth of information. I love talking to you.” And I thought… yeah, that’s why I love my job. I’m not just raising food.  I’m helping people understand it. Because a lot of folks feel the same way she does… They’re confused and unsure about the chicken they see at the store, and are quietly wondering: “What am I really feeding my family?” So let’s sit down for a minute and talk… What Most People Don’t Realize About Store-Bought Chicken When you pick up a package […]

You want to feed your family well.You care about what’s on the table. But sometimes you wonder,“How much is too much?” I’ve felt that too. There have been many times in our four years of marriage that I’ve been especially grateful for my wife. One of those is how amazing she is when it comes to prioritizing real food in our budget. There have been moments where she’s come home with groceries, I see the receipt…and the little penny-pincher in me kind of […]

- [What I Learned From The Trip We Didn't Plan](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/what-i-learned-from-the-trip-we-didnt-plan/): So here I sit in my living room in Wisconsin, with the chill of early spring seeping along the floor. I should probably stoke the fire, but I’m feeling too lazy, so I’ll endure it. A week ago, I was sitting outside a beautiful historic ranch house, hiding in the shade from the fierce desert sun. I was supervising my almost two-year-old daughter, Madeleine, as she attempted to peel an orange. In the shade, the warm air felt luxurious—almost enough to make me drift off—until Madeleine’s protests broke in: “Pay-eel it, Papa… you!” As some of you know, we flew down […]
- [3 Easy Ways to Store Homemade Chicken Broth (So It Lasts for Months)](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/3-easy-ways-to-store-homemade-chicken-broth/): If you’ve ever simmered a pot of homemade chicken broth for 24 hours, you know the feeling. Your kitchen smells incredible. The broth is rich, golden, and full of flavor. But then a practical question pops up: How do you store homemade chicken broth safely without wasting it? Broth takes time to make, and most batches produce far more than you’ll use in a few days. Learning how to store chicken broth properly means you can enjoy that deep flavor for months — without the pressure to use it all right away. The good news is you don’t need fancy equipment […]
- [Why Your Ancestors Made Bone Broth - 5 Reasons You Should Too](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/why-your-ancestors-made-bone-broth-5-reasons-you-should-too/): Something I love to do is sit and listen to older people tell stories about their lives.   I am always so enriched by the wisdom and insight that come from long years of experience. In my day, that’s pretty rare, and I say it’s a pity. We have failed to sit at the feet of those who have lived life before us and learned from their triumphs and their mistakes. We have lost so much as a culture by our “innovations”, especially when it comes to food. It’s time we go back into our history and rediscover food as it […]
- [Can Ground Beef Really Taste That Different?](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/can-ground-beef-really-taste-that-different/): Guess what most of our customers tell us? “Your ground beef is so much better than the store!” It’s true. 👉 Get yours HERE before it’s gone! Here’s why… The stuff in the store is aged on the dissembling line and in shipping (called wet aging). Our stuff is aged 7-10 days in the cooler before it’s cut up and frozen (dry aging). Dry aging means the natural enzyme that helps break the proteins down makes your beef more tender and taste better. 3. Our beef is truly 100% beef. It’s ground vacuum packed and frozen only. Did you know? In […]
- [Breaking Free From America's Obsession With Cheap Food](https://libertyridgefarmwi.com/breaking-free-from-americas-obsession-with-cheap-food/): Can I ask you something? When did we decide food should be as cheap as possible? Fact: Most American families today spend about 9% of their income on food. Back in 1960, families spent closer to 25%. In 1980, it was around 18%. On paper, that sounds like a win. But what if that “win” came with some losses we didn’t notice? The Quiet Trade We Made Over the years, Americans have come to expect low grocery bills. When we shop for food, we’ve been trained to look for the cheapest price. And I get it — nobody wants to overspend. […]

You’re not alone. Not even close. At the start of 2025, I was juggling four jobs, trying to be a good husband and father, and keep up with normal life at home. I was tired all the time.
