For years, I struggled to find safe, reliable meat that didn’t make me sick. I deal with a range of health issues, including histamine intolerance—a condition that drastically limits how much histamine I can handle in my diet. To put it in perspective, if most people can tolerate a million units of histamine a day, I can only manage about ten thousand. Foods that are considered safe for most, like a single banana, push my limits. Meat, especially aged beef, is a major trigger for me since histamine levels rise with time. Even beef from butchers or specialty markets left me sick within minutes of eating it, and I eventually gave up on meat altogether as my health deteriorated.

Desperate for a solution, I reached out to Dan at Tamarack Farm after learning about the Piedmontese breed, known for its lean meat and heart-healthy qualities. Dan listened to my story with empathy and worked with his butcher to ensure the beef was only hung for the legal minimum of 72 hours, minimizing histamine buildup. I decided to go in on a cow with my in-laws, thinking if I couldn’t eat it, at least someone would enjoy it. To my surprise and relief, I was able to eat it without any reaction—no rashes, hives, or swelling. For the first time in years, I had found a beef I could safely eat.

Tamarack Farm’s Piedmontese Beef has truly given me a new lease on life. I’ve regained strength, stopped losing weight, and can finally enjoy time with my family again—lifting my daughter, going on walks, and simply feeling alive. Best of all, the beef tastes incredible. While I may have assumed it tasted better because I’d missed meat for so long, my wife and in-laws agree—it’s the best beef they’ve ever had. I’ve tried other meats since, and nothing else works for me. If you’re dealing with dietary challenges or just want clean, high-quality beef, I wholeheartedly recommend Tamarack Farm’s Piedmontese. It changed everything for me.
