The Kefir is out of this world 🌌 ❤️

Thank you for your comment! LOVE to hear that you are drinking and enjoying Alexandre 100% Grass-fed kefir. Come visit the farm some day!

@@alexandrefamilyfarm8338 I might just take you up on that one day!

@@sandiegopizzaeater7174 We look forward to it :)

As I’m watching this video I said out loud “maybe I should visit the farm”. I desperately need more hands in experience to offset all my reading Oh please 😢 I’ll sleep in the barn

@@thomasblackburn6403 We LOVE when people come visit the farm!

Way too expensive and the price for their kefir is through the roof.

whole foods

Thank you Helen

Hi, I'm not affiliated with them in any way - just picked up their yogurt from Sprouts and it's the 4% whole milk one and it's really good. I haven't tried their eggs yet as they don't sell them near me. Pasture raised animals that are 100% grassfed like these Alexandre Farm cows are generally significantly healthier and produce healthier milk (for the cow, her babies, and us consumers) -- meaning it's higher in vitamins and minerals that were once found in milk centuries ago. However, factory farming basically eliminated all those things and USDA started requiring all milks in the US to be fortified with calcium and vitamin D (among others). Moreover, factory farming comes with so many horrible side effects -- especially for the cows (and obvious inhumane treatment). The cows get more infections (pus from infections is allowed in milk in the US by the way, USDA allows it), they get artificial hormone injections to produce more and more milk even as their bodies deteriorate, they get extremely stressed out in unnatural environments where they basically never see sunlight and that cortisol gets dumped into their milk as well -- just to mention a few. Additionally, factory farmed cows are fed grain-based diets (unnatural diet for cows, cows are supposed to eat various types and species of fresh grass and dried grass). These grain-based diets heavily consist of corn and soy which are not organic -- they're sprayed with pesticides i.e.- glyphosate which has been proven in scientific literature time and time again to not only be toxic to soil microbes (which sequester carbon from the air) and are needed for plant growth, but are extremely toxic to animals and humans. Above all, Alexandre Farms are the first (and only one I know of) regenerative farm for dairy cows and chickens, that means they restore the ecosystem of their pasture through their farming and it make it usable without destroying the environment -- which is what conventional dairy farms do and cause as a result of their existence. A large chunk of the Amazon rainforest is burned and cut down everyday to expand agricultural land SOLELY for growing pesticide-ridden corn, soy and other grains for cows and other animals that aren't even supposed to eat a grain-based diet. If you want to watch a good documentary about soil and regenerative farming, I highly recommend "Kiss The Ground" on Netflix. Some parts of it elaborate on regenerative farming (including how grassfed cows help pastures, although it's not perfect), no-tilling and permaculture. As for eggs -- I doubt the egg you get from pasture-raised chickens will actually look any different to a regular egg (may have a darker color yolk because the chicken laying it is a brown chicken and not a factory farmed broiler white chicken). Egg yolk colors are based on a chicken's diet. The Japanese in factory farms feed their chickens diets rich in marigold flowers and red peppers, so they produce eggs with orange yolks that appeal to customers who order ramen -- this doesn't mean that orange yolks are any healthier. Pasture raised organic eggs tend to be higher in natural omega-3 in the yolk, higher in vitamin A, higher in vitamin E, higher in iron, etc. (as compared to eggs that come from factory farmed chickens)
