Now tell me this – who doesn’t love butter? What isn’t better with butter? Take that one step further and where do we get the cream for that butter? Cows. That’s right folks, cows.

Would you be surprised to know that many food bloggers aren’t real familiar with where the food they write about comes from? Probably not. Most people today do not understand how food is produced and have no real connection to the farm regardless of what kind of food or farm you’re talking about.
