Begin Your Traditional Foods Journey Today

So what exactly are Traditional Foods? Excellent Question!

Traditional Foods are nutrient-dense real foods that are properly prepared.  They are the foods that were eaten by traditional cultures throughout history. Traditional Foods foods include:

  • Bone Broths and Bone Marrow
  • Cultured Dairy
  • Ferments
  • Grass-Fed Meats
  • Organ Meats
  • Pastured Poultry and Eggs
  • Sourdough Breads
  • Sprouted Grains
  • Wild-Caught Fish and Shellfish
  • And more!

“Simply put, traditional foods are those in their most natural state, unadulterated and unrefined. It is these real, whole, nourishing foods enjoyed for generation upon generation that provide the cells of our bodies with the necessary fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients needed for vibrant health. This state of well-being is characterized by a quiet and strong digestive system, superior brain function, blissful sleep, sturdy bones, calm mind, and an immune function that prevents infection.”

Jan Britton – The Weston A. Price Foundation

Well, that is certainly what I want for my personal health and the health of my family!
