Valentine's Day is this week, which means most of us will be eating a little higher on the hog. That's hillbilly for fancy. If you are planning a date night in (like us 🙋) and aren't sure what to serve, I've put together a list of 💖-day recipes for you.

  1. Gluten-free Chicken Parmesan - for a delicious gluten-free recipe that isn't bland, try Feed Me Pheobe's Gluten-free Chicken Parm.
  2. Shredded Beef with Au Jus - this mouthwatering spin on a french dip comes from our football-coach-turned-cattleman, John Cox. You can find the recipe here.
  3. Creamy Potato Soup - this warm winter dish goes perfectly with our Five Pepper Pork Sausage. Get the recipe from Salt & Lavender here.
  4. Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Chili Oil - mix it up this Valentine's! Kaitlyn and I love asian food, so I had to throw this one in here. This wonton recipe is from Omnivore's Cookbook.
  5. The Classic...Steak - if you are looking to keep it simple, this is a direction you can't go wrong with. Not your forte? Here are 10 tips for making the perfect steak.
  6. Greek Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs - for all my fellow dark meat lovers out there, I'm including our favorite recipe for baked chicken thighs. You're welcome.
  7. Kim's Breakfast Quiche - in case you're planning to serve breakfast in bed, I'll also share my mom's favorite quiche recipe, which I've enjoyed dozens of times. It calls for bacon but could also be made with sausage.

Whatever you make, I know your partner will enjoy it because it was made and served with love. If you happen to get a picture before digging in, please share it on Facebook or Instagram and tag us @davidspasture!

In good eating,

The Benefits of Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs) on a Pasture-Based Poultry Farm

Our livestock guardian dogs, also known as LGDs, consistently steal the show during farm events here at David's Pasture. In regenerative agriculture, where harmony between nature and farming practices is most important, livestock guardian dogs play an essential role, particularly when raising poultry. Not only do these hard-working canines protect our flocks, they also contribute significantly to wildlife conservation and the efficiency of our farm. Understanding the purpose and benefits of LGDs reveals why they are worth their weight in gold.

David's Pasture: The Story and Meaning Behind Our Name

When my parents, David & Kim Kesten, started this business in 2011, we had defaulted to the name Kesten Family Farm. While fitting, the name didn’t fully capture the vision that my dad had cast for our business. That summer, we spent several weeks brainstorming a new name that would better encompass the values of our business. One morning, at the age of 11, I woke up from a dream. I don’t remember the dream now, except that it involved glimpses throughout King David’s life. I woke up with the name “David’s Pasture” repeating in my head. Half asleep, I stumbled into the dining room where the rest of my family was already enjoying breakfast and asked, “how about David’s Pasture?” It didn’t take long for the rest of my family to agree that David's Pasture was the perfect name.

A Small Farmer's Perspective on the USDA's RFID Ear Tag Mandate

Hey guys, Remi here. 👨‍🌾 Today I want to share my perspective on the USDA's upcoming mandate for RFID ear tags to be used on cattle and bison moved across state lines. First let me state that I am not entirely against RFID Ear Tags, but I am against them being mandated by the government. In this post I will share some of the advantages of RFID technology, as well as the struggles this new requirement presents for ranchers and consumers alike.
