After cleaning up three floors of flooding thanks to my bathroom obsessed child, I found inspiration in the story of this cancer-surviving Alabama farmgirl: Melissa Boutwell.
Having trouble finding quality red meat to boost her red blood cells and wanting her family to eat healthier, she delved into organics…moving her family to a farm near where she was raised.
Now she and her family operate a certified organic and sustainable Boutwell Farms, according to the Dothan Eagle.
The story notes that organically raised grass-fed meat is more nutritious, and is higher in the latest nutrient star Omega 3 than mass produced meat. Also noteworthy is that because of the family’s rotation system, the drought didn’t impact their animals as much.
