Spice Up Summer Steaks With Holen One Java Rub

Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s finally time for summer barbecues and steaks on the grill! Several GROW Nebraska members, including longtime member Holen One Farms, offer sauces, marinades and seasonings to create the perfect flavor for your summer grilling. Spice Up Summer Steaks With Holen One Java Rub “Something magical happens when the blend of aromatic spices, peppers, turbinado sugar, and coffee is rubbed into ribs, roasts, steaks, or chicken before grilling. The coffee enhances the natural meat flavors, leaving the grilled meat a beautiful coffee brown.” That’s the description of Holen One Farms’ best-selling product, the Java Rib & Roast Rub, that can be used as a dry rub or all-purpose seasoning to make that perfect summer steak or pork chop.

Shepherd’s Dairy 4 Ewe Products Provide Natural Moisturizing, Healing Option

Beverly Trew is a Registered Nurse who appreciates the purity and healing properties of all-natural products. That’s why she has always loved Shepherd’s Dairy 4 Ewe’s lotions and soaps. When the company’s founder, Kim Curtis, was ready to sell her sheep-milk soap business 10 years ago, Beverly decided to take action and purchase the Anselmo-based business. “It is a good product, and it’s natural,” Beverly said. Sheep milk has the highest butter fat of any animal milked (besides water buffalo), Beverly explains. The sheep milk is an effective and softening skin cleanser that leaves the skin silky smooth with a hydrated appearance. “It’s moisturizing,” Beverly said. “It’s healing. It helps sun damaged skin. It just feels so different than other lotions. It’s thicker and richer.” Beverly purchases the milk from a sheep herd in Bushnell near the Wyoming border and makes all the products herself with lots of help from family, including her eight grandchildren.
