President’s Message

The grocery store in our little town of Charlotte Hall, Maryland has aisles of processed food and extra big carts to hold jumbo bags of potato chips and cases of soft drinks. “Healthy” spreads are available in sixty-four-ounce tubs.

Nevertheless, I’ve seen some encouraging changes in recent years. The store now carries pastured beef and organic chicken, pastured eggs and pastured butter. There is a small section for organic produce and a selection of kombucha. This is real progress—something I would not have predicted to occur in our semi-rural area.

Sometimes the problems with our food supply can seem so overwhelming—more and more processed food loaded with toxic ingredients, ultraprocessed dairy products and grains drenched in Roundup—that we lose sight of the progress we have made. Foods of better quality are sneaking into the grocery stores, even in unsophisticated parts of the country like southern Maryland.

We have made incredible progress with raw milk. Consumption is growing by leaps and bounds. We now have over three thousand sources listed at realmilk.com—with sixty-three in Maryland alone! We sell out of the raw milk we produce on our farm every day and other producers report the same. Raw milk farmers are increasing the size of their herds—one raw milk farm in California is milking twelve hundred cows—while more and more conventional farms are going out of business.

Pundits are predicting a brave new future of lab-grown meat, edible insects, fake milk, ersatz eggs and an overall plant-based diet, along with “massive changes in food production and agriculture.” But I’ve got news for them. The big shift they are predicting is going in the opposite direction. My prediction: twenty years from now the reigning model will be the farm store selling raw whole milk, pastured meats and eggs, and organic produce—and the single mom living in an apartment in Brooklyn will be able to purchase these real foods in the local grocery store.

As we approach 2024, it’s a good time to renew or start your pledge to our 50 Percent Campaign—spend at least 50 percent of your food budget with direct purchases from local farmers and artisans—with the other 50 percent you can celebrate how small the world has become and enjoy pineapple and rice.

The board of directors and the staff at the Weston A. Price Foundation join me in wishing you a blessed and healthy holiday, and vibrant health in the year to come.
