Foods/Ingredients are listed alphabetically:

• Butter – Rumiano (–this stuff is a fantastic organic certified replacement for Kerrygold–grass fed, pasture raised; salted; we buy ours from *Azure Standard)
• Cheese – Rumiano (pasture raised; specifically cheddar and parmesan; *Azure Standard)
• Flour – Azure Standard brand spelt flour and Jovial brand einkorn flour (we use these as replacements for white and wheat flour; both can be purchased through Azure Standard)
• Jam / Jelly / Fruit Spread – Bionature (sweetened with apple juice, not sugar; *Azure Standard)
• Meat:
  • Beef – On Tapp Dairy (local) or Seven Sons (semi-local). If we have room in the budget, Elmwood Stock Farm.
  • Chicken – Seven Sons (semi-local); Mary’s (organic line, *Azure Standard); backup is Whole Food’s brand. If we have room in the budget, Elmwood Stock Farm and Rootbound Farm are our top choices + produced closest to home.
  • Lamb – Elmwood Stock Farm or Rootbound Farm.
  • Pork – Seven Sons (semi-local). If we have room in the budget, Elmwood Stock Farm. We are currently using up pork from pigs we raised ourselves last year!
• Milk – Alexandre (A2/A2, grass fed, whole milk with cream line; *Azure Standard); a little harder to find is Traders Point Creamery). Our ideal values are 100% grass fed, whole milk, A2A2, unpasteurized and unhomogenized, and bottled in glass, however, this is very hard to find. This is why we would like to own our own dairy cow one day!
  • Local friends, for raw milk sourcing, consider joining On Tapp farm herdshare program or Pink Elephant Farm’s herdshare program. Both produce delicious milk from grass-fed cows!
• Pasta/Spaghetti (gluten free brown rice and Einkorn) – Jovial (*Azure Standard)
• Peanut Butter – CB’s “Creamcrunchy” (the best peanut butter ever!*Azure Standard) or, for a more budget-friendly option, Kirkland Organic (Costco)
• Protein Powder / Protein Shake Mix – Just Ingredients (Lemon Swish, Snickerdoodle, and Mint Chocolate are our top 3 favorites, but all the options we have tried are delicious!)
• Sugar – Azure Standard brand coconut sugar (we use it as a replacement for white and brown sugars)
• Tomato Paste / Diced or Crushed Tomatoes – Bionature (bottled in glass; *Azure Standard)
• Yogurt – Alexandre (A2/A2, grass fed, plain; *Azure Standard)
