This blog is about our journey – our challenges, progress, and commitment to raising and selling grass-fed-grass-finished beef that not only tastes great, but promotes health of  land, animals, and, ultimately, people. Thanks for joining us.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been working at this goal for 10 years! We began this adventure at a time when most people dream about retirement. We took the road less traveled, and every day I’m grateful for having had this opportunity.

At Bull Brook Keep, Dave and I strive to manage our farm for health: of our Buelingo herd of cattle, the grasses they feast upon, the waters beneath the soil, and the economic health of our family and town.  We do this for our wellbeing, and so that you – our customers – can make the food and farm-production choices that reflect your values and goals.

We’re committed to farming and living with a tiny carbon hoofprint (TM), and when you purchase our beef, you become an important part of a better food system.

To do this, we
– Live in thanksgiving
– Use sustainable, regenerative farming practices
– Raise and sell 100% grass-fed beef. This means our cattle eat only grass their entire lives. They get no grain, no growth hormones, no herbicides, and no subclinical antibiotics.
– Welcome visitors to walk our fields
– Share our experiences through blogging, writing and radio
– Offer marketing communications services

Our farm, Bull Brook Keep, is 72 rolling acres just 65 miles northeast of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. We invite you to visit.

I also hope you’ll join me and my guests Saturday mornings, 9:00-9:30 AM Central Time, for the latest edition of Deep Roots Radio. I interview guests from around the country. They’re farmers and ranchers, teachers and scientists, chefs and authors, policymakers and film makers. Each describes why they’re committed to healthful, delicious, sustainable foods. The show is broadcast and streamed live from the studios of WPCA Radio, 93.1 FM, Amery, Wisconsin.
