Collaborating with like minded businesses has its perks! One of which being that we support, grow, and highlight each other‘s efforts towards making our lives and world a better place. Culineer was recently gracious enough to promote our farm story to showcase how other farmers can help their customers cook their wonderful foodstuffs.
THANK YOU Culineer team and mastermind owner Jodi Frank for all that you do for the small farmer, #honestfood , and #honestmeat everywhere :)
