Since I’ve become more conscious of how dangerous big corporations are to our personal and societal health I’ve tried to seek out smaller companies that are producing great products and give my business to them instead. A lot of these smaller companies are the manifestion of someone's dream to live a different and better life. These mega corps are almost always more interested in their bottom line than the safety or quality of their products.
Blinded by power and greed, many of these corporations are doing irreparable damage to human health, freedoms, the environment, and the future of our society as a whole. Sometimes it feels we’re powerless to escape the tentacles of their influence but we still have more power than we think, we can vote with our dollars. If more of us did this it would harm the bottom lines of the megacorps and send a clear message.
Recently, I’ve found a couple of these companies that I’m particularly impressed with and I’d like to shine a spotlight on them.
Dutch Meadows Farm is a Pennsylvania-based family run operation that produces high quality meats, bakery items, and raw dairy. So far I’ve tried the grass fed beef patties, cultured raw butter, and spelt sourdough bread. Their customer service has been amazing as well. You can really tell they care about the well-being of their customers.

VanMan sells natural personal care products that work incredibly well. I’ve used the Honey and Tallow Balm and the Tooth Powder and both have been superior to anything I’ve tried.
The balm can be used on the face or as a general moisturizer and the tooth powder has done a good job of months of coffee/tea stains from my teeth. This is no small feat because I drink two cups of green tea and a couple cups of coffee a day. These products seem expensive on the surface but last a very long time. Both containers generally will last me about two-to-three months.
The general health and wellbeing of Americans have been in steep decline now for decades. It’s so important to take the time to educate ourselves about the toxicity of our food supply and the products we use on our bodies and in our homes. As consumers, we’re lucky that we all still have choices and we still have the power to vote with our dollars.
All for now.
