Why FH Farms’ Grass-Fed Beef Bones Make the Best Broth
At FH Farms, we’ve spent decades refining how we manage our soil, plants, and animals, believing that these practices directly impact the health of those who consume our beef. We’re proud to raise grass-fed cattle in a way that:
🌱 Supports Sustainability – Our farm is powered by solar energy, and we produce organic hay to maintain soil health and provide the best possible feed for our cattle.
🍽 Delivers Superior Nutrition – Grass-fed beef is naturally richer in essential nutrients, including higher levels of Omega-3s, antioxidants, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)—proven to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and aid in metabolism.
👩🌾 Connects Farm to Table – Our beef is served in local schools and colleges, ensuring students and families have access to clean, high-quality protein without unnecessary additives.
🚜 Preserves Family Farming – Our small but efficient farm is rooted in sustainable agriculture—protecting the land while producing premium beef for our community.
We believe that how food is grown and raised matters—and when it comes to bone broth, starting with the best beef bones ensures the richest flavor and most powerful health benefits.
The Health Benefits of Beef Bone Broth
Bone broth is more than just a warming, comforting drink—it’s a nutritional powerhouse that has been used for centuries to support overall well-being.
✔ Rich in Essential Minerals – Provides calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, supporting bone strength, muscle recovery, and energy production.
✔ Packed with Collagen & Gelatin – Essential for joint flexibility, skin health, and digestive support. Grass-fed bones naturally contain higher levels of collagen, resulting in a thicker, more nutrient-dense broth.
✔ Loaded with Omega-3s – Grass-fed beef bones have an ideal 4:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio, compared to grain-fed beef’s 12:1 imbalance. These essential fatty acids help reduce inflammation, support cardiovascular health, and improve cognitive function.
✔ More Antioxidants & Beta Carotene – Grass-fed beef has 6-7 times more beta-carotene than grain-fed beef, promoting immune function, vision health, and cellular regeneration.
✔ Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – A powerful fatty acid found 2-3 times higher in grass-fed beef, linked to reducing cancer risk, improving body composition, and supporting heart health.
When you choose grass-fed beef bones for your broth, you’re getting a cleaner, healthier, and more nutrient-rich foundation for cooking and wellness.
Choosing the Best Bones for Broth
Not all beef bones are created equal when it comes to making a rich, gelatinous, flavorful broth. Here’s what to look for:
🥩 Marrow Bones – The gold standard for deep, rich flavor and silky texture.
🥩 Knuckle Bones – Loaded with collagen and gelatin, creating a thick, nutrient-packed broth.
🥩 Neck Bones – Provide extra meat and connective tissue, adding depth to the broth.
🥩 Oxtail – A premium choice packed with collagen and marrow, perfect for slow-cooked, ultra-rich broth.
🥩 Shank Bones – A balance of meat, fat, and marrow, making for a hearty, robust broth.
At FH Farms, our beef bones come from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle, ensuring the highest quality, purity, and nutrition in every batch.
FH Farms Signature Beef Bone Broth Recipe
Ingredients:
✅ 3-4 lbs FH Farms grass-fed beef bones (marrow, knuckle, neck, or shank)
✅ 2 carrots, roughly chopped
✅ 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
✅ 1 onion, quartered
✅ 2 cloves garlic, smashed
✅ 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps extract minerals)
✅ 1-2 bay leaves
✅ 10-12 cups water (enough to cover the bones)
✅ Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1️⃣ Roast the Bones – Preheat oven to 400°F. Place bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30-45 minutes.
2️⃣ Blanch & Rinse – Transfer bones to a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
3️⃣ Simmer Slowly – Return bones to the pot, add vegetables, vinegar, and bay leaves. Cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
4️⃣ Let it Cook – Simmer for 12-24 hours, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
5️⃣ Strain & Store – Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into jars or storage containers. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
Pro Tip: The longer your broth simmers, the richer and more nutrient-dense it becomes!
