Just the Greatest Life
Just the Greatest Life is a collection of stories that has warmed hearts around the world. Struggling farmers, amazing neighbors, four-legged friends, and an awe of and appreciation for nature make this self-published page-turner a book you'll read again and again. The editor of Country Journal called it a "pure, inspiring treasure" about a "life gone real." Fellow grass farmer, Joel Salatin, says "Schafer captures the exuberance of newly discovering the 'culture' of agri-culture and the satisfaction of a better way."

The Sheer Ecstasy of being a Lunatic Farmer
by: Joel Salatin
Have you ever wondered: “So what really is the difference, anyway? Can there really be that much difference between the way two farmers operate? After all, a cow is a cow and the land is the land, isn’t it?”
This is the book that makes the contrasts clear. Gleaning stories from his fifty years (okay, he started young) as a localized, compost-fertilized, pasture-based, beyond organic farmer, Joel Salatin explores the metes and bounds of the differences. They are profound.

Flint River Ranch Pet Foods
Quality
For those of you who care about your pets, you'll be excited to know about Flint River Ranch. What makes them unique? Their pet foods have no chemicals, no ethoxyquin, no BHT, no BHA, no byproducts, no artificial colors or flavors. Their foods are made of all-natural human quality ingredients! Quite rapidly we noticed much healthier, softer and shinier hair coats on all our pets.
Price
Flint River Ranch pet foods cost less to feed than Science Diet, Eukanaba and Purina Chow. This is because their feed is concentrated for better nutrition, palatability and digestibility. You feed from 20-40% less than other foods. You will notice a lower stool volume, very little odor, less cleanup and very little brown spot grass damage.
Other items available for dogs:
- Senior Kibble for senior, inactive or overweight dogs; healthy treats; bone biscuits
- Dry Water Ultra Fresh dog food (add hot water for a warm, healthy meal)
Other items for cats:
- Lite Cat food
- Crunch cat treats
- Dry Water Ultra Fresh cat food
Delivery
Price includes delivery to your door. This means the food is much fresher since it doesn't sit on a shelf somewhere for weeks or months.
100% Guarantee
There is a full money back guarantee. You must be 100% satisfied.
Where Can I Get It?
Flint River Ranch is only sold through Associate Distributors. It's the same price as if you bought it directly from the company. You buy your first bag through us then an account is set up for you to buy it directly from Flint River Ranch. We get a small commission, so you are helping feed our pets (most of whom arrived as strays or pets that people dropped off near our farm)! We, in turn, buy our Flint River Ranch pet food through Spring Farm Cares, an animal sanctuary and center for teaching Animal Communication in New York. We are happy to help support them and help them feed the hundreds of animals in their care.
