Growing up, I had some health issues that impacted my life, but never bad enough to search for a diagnoses. But by the time I was 20 years old, I had a laundry list of foods I could or could not eat based on how they made my gut feel.
It was a miserable feeling, knowing that if I ate the wrong thing I’d feel bloated, lethargic, and could barely think straight.
When I was 22, I started to connect the dots that my digestion sensitivities were due to an imbalance in my gut. That's when I took a deep dive into food and nutrition, doing everything I could to learn how to heal from the inside out.
ALL SIGNS POINTED TO THE BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH.
At this point, I was in touch with a local farmer and had purchased half of a grass-fed cow. I grabbed three coolers and drove two hours to pick it up, ready to pack my freezer with high quality cuts of meat.
What I didn't know was that with half a cow comes around 100 lbs of bones; giving me the perfect opportunity to simmer my first batch of bone broth.

I WAS HOOKED.
From that day forward, I’ve drank two cups of broth a day; once in the morning before my coffee and then in the afternoon to fend off the afternoon slump.
Slowly, I noticed the difference in my gut, mood, and especially my energy. Every time I had a cup of broth, I felt like Super Mario after chowing down on a magical mushroom.
I KNEW I HAD TO SHARE THIS FEELING WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD.
So in 2015, I started putting together the pieces of Broya - and choosing a supplier was my first big step. I knew I wanted to make an impact in thousands of lives, so I reached out to a few streamline suppliers who I thought could help me reach that goal.
But the more I dug into the meat industry, the more I learned how disgusting industrial farms were and how detrimental choosing one would be for my customers and the earth.
IT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME CONSIDER GIVING UP MEAT AND MY MISSION ALL TOGETHER.
But as I weighed my options, I decided what I had learned would not stop me from helping others. I knew there were responsible farmers out there who raised happy cattle and would jump at a chance to work with a company like Broya.
SO, I EXPANDED MY MISSION BEYOND SHARING THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH.
The world deserves a better way to get vital nutrients and support small farmers instead of relying on Big Agriculture.
That’s why we do things different at Broya.
We’re hyper-intentional about each step of the supply chain process, from raw ingredients to finished product. All our products are made from grass-fed, happily raised animals from local farms as a base for bone broth--nothing but high-quality ingredients.
Broya makes it easy to start supporting local farmers, happy animals, a thriving environment, and your health and wellbeing. All at the same time.
