AOF Is Now Partnering With A Local Brewery 🍺🌾 We’ve partnered with Payette Brewing, Boise's go-to for classic local brews, to upcycle the brewery’s spent grain. AOF is now mixing its own locally-sourced feed blend for our ostriches, boosting their health and well-being. 🌾 Payette Brewing has been voted “Best Brewery” in Boise Weekly’s poll every year since 2012, and their commitment to philanthropy is truly inspiring. Through initiatives like “Kegs 4 Kause” and Payette Forward, they've supported countless nonprofits and important causes. Located by the Boise River, Payette’s Tap Room offers twenty beers on tap, local wine and cider, and a family-friendly Beer Garden with yard games, food trucks, and live music. Cheers to healthier ostriches and great community partners! 🐦🍻 Check out Payette Brewing 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJbXAYg6 #SustainableFarming #CommunityPartners #PayetteBrewing #AOF

AOF Attends Mountain Meat Summit ⛰️🥩 AOF Marketing Manager, Jessica Roth, attended the Mountain Meat Summit in Bozeman, Montana. This summit is all about advancing market opportunities, building connections, and supporting collective skills development and learning across many segments and scales of the Mountain West’s meat supply chain. AOF learned about exciting new tech solutions for small and medium-scale producers, funding opportunities for expanding sustainable farming practices, and creative ways to merchandise and market the whole animal. The two-day summit was a crash course in the most important issues and opportunities faced by independent producers, processors, retailers, and other industry segments. “It was heartening - and inspiring - to meet so many fellow innovative industry members actively engaged in securing the future of America’s agri-food sector with a spirit of collaboration and a focus on both economic and environmental sustainability,” Roth says.  Thank you to the Mountain Meat Summit for hosting such a great conference! Hope to be back soon 👋

About 90 lbs. Of Lamb Meat Later… We had the absolute honor of being a sponsor for the Heritage Fire Tour in Tampa 🔥🍴. We supplied primo American lamb (yes, we sell lamb meat along with ostrich meat) to Chef Daniel Almodovar and his team for this epic event. This partnership was made possible by our sister company, Sustainable Meats, who supports local farms by offering slaughter, processing, and packaging services. Their dedication and innovation in the culinary arena was truly inspiring. Despite falling just four votes short of victory in the showdown against Tampa's culinary giants, their performance was nothing short of legendary. Here's to Chef Daniel and his team taking second place, and already gearing up for the next culinary challenge!  🧑🍳 Heritage Fire Tour 👉 https://lnkd.in/eU42zFK6 Chef Daniel Almodovar 👉 https://lnkd.in/gg2jUBnX #HeritageFireTour #CulinaryExcellence

Histamine In Food And How Ostrich Offers A Solution 🥩 Histamines are natural compounds found in various foods and are also produced by the body as part of the immune response. While histamines play crucial roles in the body, including regulating digestion and immune function, excessive intake can lead to adverse reactions, particularly in individuals with histamine intolerance. 👉 Histamine Intolerance: A condition characterized by the body's inability to properly metabolize histamine. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including headaches, migraines, hives, digestive issues, and even respiratory problems. While histamine intolerance can vary in severity from person to person, managing one's diet to reduce histamine intake is often recommended. 🍗 Ostrich as a Solution: Unlike conventional meats, ostrich meat undergoes minimal hanging time and is quickly frozen immediately after processing, resulting in lower histamine levels. This makes it a safer option for those managing histamine intolerance. Opting for low-histamine foods can provide individuals with flavorful and nutritious protein options without exacerbating histamine-related issues. 💪Ostrich Nutritional Benefits: In addition to being a low-histamine protein choice, ostrich meat offers several nutritional benefits. It is leaner than traditional meats, with lower fat and cholesterol content. Ostrich meat is also rich in essential nutrients like protein, iron, and zinc, making it a healthy addition to any diet.
