6 Great Ways to Boost your Immune System!

Hi there!😊

Friend, as we get closer to the cold months, I’m sure you are looking for ways to keep your family healthy.

May I suggest that a healthy immune system is your best defense…💃

Boosting your immune system now and investing a bit of time in good eating choices goes a long way in keeping you healthy in the midst of the cooler months which tend to bring on more coughs & colds for everyone.

Including lots of Superfoods into your daily diet is a simple way of ensuring you’ll be at your best all winter long. 

Need suggestions? 

Here are 6 great ways I use for my family!

✔Kefir…

It’s loaded with lots & lots of beneficial bacteria.

It helps heal & maintain great gut health… gut health has been said to be the biggest indicator of overall health.

We take raw milk kefir daily, either in smoothies or mixed with a little honey & vanilla. And yes, even my children take it!

✔Yogurt…

Yogurt is another great probiotic.   Adding yogurt to your daily diet helps boost the immune system & aids greatly in the digestive role.

Be sure to get the raw yogurt! Only the raw has the beneficial bacteria present.

 Yogurt is also our go-to food when any of the children are feeling under the weather!

 It’s easily digestible & full of beneficial bacteria & enzymes your body needs daily.

The easiest way to get “Real”  probiotics into your children.

Honey & Vanilla Greek Yogurt

We eat lots & lots of yogurt daily… add some blueberries, strawberries, & granola & you have a yummy breakfast, snack, or dessert!

✔Raw Milk 🥛

Yummy…

There’s so much good that can be said about grass-fed raw milk… enzymes, great gut bacteria, healthy fats, vitamins, etc.

 but what I LOVE the most is… get this… It’s a full food!  What does that mean?

 A glass of raw milk will fill your child up for several hours & you can rest assured he is getting a full meal.🥛

Be sure to leave the cream on the milk & shake it up well.

 We all need the healthy fats the cream has to offer.

Healthy fats are needed for optimal brain health.

The brain is made mostly of fats, let’s not deprive it.😎

Pickup is at our Farm Store.

✔Sauerkraut 😋

A gem.

Raw sauerkraut contains live, beneficial microbes & is rich in enzymes

The fiber and probiotics improve digestion and promote healthy gut flora which helps tremendously in protecting against many diseases in the digestive tract.

Oh so yummy! Sauerkraut


A Tbsp or two a day of raw sauerkraut with any meats will greatly improve your digestion.


Raw sauerkraut is a staple on our table.

We are excited to be selling raw sauerkraut in our store.

Be sure to try it. It’s absolutely delicious.

✔Bone Broth

Ahhh, yes!  Bone broth is amazing! 

It is rich in minerals that our diets often don’t have.

The gelatin in bone broth supports the digestive tract.

Not only is it easily digestible it aids in digesting other foods.💯


Bone broth helps fight inflammation, therefore it helps protect against disease.



I try to add bone broth to all our soups, sauces, casseroles, & we often drink it as well.

You can Order Bone Broth in our online store.


✔Healthy Meats🥩🥓🍗

Grass-fed Beef hotdogs…

And the last one I want to highlight… is REAL, good for you, meats. 

This might seem like a no-brainer, but I can’t stress highly enough how important it is to know how your meats are raised.



How it is raised determines how well your body benefits from it

Great tasting grass-fed beef🥩 & pastured chicken🍗 will feed your body the nutrients it needs to operate optimally.

 Yes, it takes a lot longer to raise them, yes, it costs more… friends, it’s worth it!

I’ve heard so many stories of people being healed from different chronic illnesses by simply changing their meat to grass-fed…😲

 Oh! And it doesn’t take as much food.

A grass-fed roast will give you lots more meat & fill you up much quicker.

Many a customer has been astounded at how many meals one roast makes. 😋

There you have it!  My recommended foods to ensure your family stays as healthy as possible during these next few months.🤸‍♀️


📣Remember, being proactive is much easier & less stressful than being reactive.🙌


Peace I leave with you... ✝

And lastly, I want to leave you with this verse that has been reverberating through my brain.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27, emphasis mine. 💝

Amen.

Much Love!
