We are absolutely thrilled to be working with so many farms that embody what we believe in here at The Simmering Bone.  Please, take a moment to get acquainted with the farms that define who we are at our very core!

Beef

Our beef broth comes from the collective efforts of three wonderful farms: Tamarlane Farm: Not only are their cattle certified organic, grass-fed and pasture-raised, they are part of the working ecosystem that is the farm.  Tamarlane cows are part of the family and eat accordingly.  Their food is grown on site and the waste they generate provides compost fertilization to the fields on which they rely.  Tamarlane’s commitment to the healthiest, safest food out there translates into a beef broth that just cannot be beat! Luna Bleu Farm: Raised on the pristine fields of South Royalton, VT, these organic, pasture-raised cows are also an integral part of their animal-energy driven farm system. Back Beyond Farm: These organic, pasture-raised cows are raised in the hills of Tunbridge, VT and are part of a diversified, year-round farming program.

Chicken

Found in Barnet, VT, Cross Farm works hard to manage its certified organic, pastured livestock in a way that stimulates improved plant growth, increased soil carbon deposits, and overall pasture and grazing land productivity. They are doing their part to help mitigate climate change with the resulting increases in soil fertility and health, insect and plant biodiversity, and soil carbon sequestration. Their Cornish Cross chickens enjoy a unique free-range pasture system, have vast access to clean, lush pasture, and are fed a specialty custom organic poultry feed milled just down their road at Morrison’s Custom Feeds. Wild Harmony Farm is dedicated to raising meat lovingly, humanely, and with integrity. They raise their animals on pasture and practice rotational grazing — good for the land, good for the animals, and good for you! Their chickens are raised on organic pasture, supplemented with organic grain, and move daily to fresh grass. While their farm is in RI, their birds are processed right here in Richmond, VT at Maple Wind Farm! We are pleased to support Maple Wind Farm and its pasture-raised birds, which forage the green pastures of Richmond, VT. Their diet is supplemented with Vermont-grown, verified non-GMO grain.

Lamb

Brought to you thanks to the collective efforts of three wonderful farms: HighFields Farm is a diversified hill farm working to renew and give back to their 130 acres in the foothills of the Green Mountains in Randolph, VT.  Like all of the animals on this certified organic farm, the North Country Cheviots we source for our lamb broth are free to roam and graze the fresh pastures this Scottish Highland breed of sheep are lucky enough to call home.  The conscientious folks at High Ridge Meadows Farm are committed to healthy, nutritious, organically and naturally grown and raised food and they work hard to preserve the farming history and the beautiful mix of mountains, forests and fields that we hold so dear here in Vermont. The beef and the Icelandic and Katahdin sheep we source from this small family farm are free to drink the pure spring water and graze the certified organic pastures on which the farm is nestled.  The mission at Stark Hollow Farm - a small, diversified farm in the beautiful town of Danville, VT - is to exist in sync with nature while producing healthy, sustainable farm products from animals whose quality of life is their passion.  The Icelandic sheep bones we source from this Animal Welfare Approved farm come from certified 100% grass fed, primitive breed animals who were purposefully selected to match the climate and geography of this beautiful state.  This allows these animals to live free and solely off the land while contributing to the symbiotic relationship that helps this entire farm thrive.

Pork

Raised on pasture and free to forage, the certified organic pigs over at Full Moon Farm also get to feast on vegetables grown right on sight, organic whey from Champlain Valley Creamery and certified organic grain.

 BONE BROTH DROPS: PET EDITION

Calling all pet lovers and bone broth enthusiasts!

Would you like exclusive, pre-market access to an incredible new product? I’m talking nutrient-dense, one-of-a-kind, top-of-its-class bone broth made specifically for your four-legged friends! My company works hard to support sustainable agriculture, regenerative farming practices, humane animal husbandry, and environmentally friendly packaging so you can rest easy knowing you’re not just supporting the health of your pet, you’re supporting the health of our planet as well!

My company, The Simmering Bone, was founded back in 2015 and over the years many of my beloved customers have asked about sharing my bone broths with their canine and feline companions. This got me doing some research and I was surprised to learn that Alliums (pretty much anything in the onion and garlic family) are actually toxic to pets. Having a dog and cat at home that love bone broth, I immediately set out to make something they could safely enjoy. It wasn’t long before “Bone Broth Drops – Pet Edition” were born! I’ve been passing out Pet Edition broth drops as samples to customers who regularly order bone broth from me and it seems my pets aren’t the only ones who love these things - they’ve been a hit with everyone who’s tried them so far (happy dance)!

Call it a pre-order, call it early access to a first-to-market product, call it philanthropy, call it what you will but know your adoring pet will be happy (and healthier) all the same! The benefits of bone broth for pets are extensive and include improved digestion, liver detox, improved joint health, and a boosted immune system. Bone broth is packed with proline and glycine, both said to promote a healthy gut and reduce inflammation. Glycine is also said to detox and promote a healthy liver. In addition to being an excellent source of protein and collagen, high-quality bone broth is chock full of glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid - all known to protect joints and possibly even repair connective tissue. So jump on into some good karma, do your pal a solid, donate to the Bone Broth Drop: Pet Edition Kickstarter Campaign (launching soon) and get exclusive first access shipped right to your doorstep (within the continental US). My funding goal will be used to purchase molds to make the drops, pouches to hold them, labels to describe them, and shipping boxes so I can send them. See the reward tiers below for full details about what’s in it for you and from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for reading this far. Sharing is caring, so don’t hesitate to alert any family, friends, pet lovers, general broth enthusiasts, or just plain do-gooders who might be interested.

All my best,

Rachel (owner/founder)
