“As people cook at home more, they want to experiment with flavors and ingredients to keep dishes exciting,” said Roby. “I love using different beef cuts, which are versatile and affordable. You can always find a way to work them into your meals.”

One of Roby’s go-to recipes is Bulgogi Blaze Bowls. Though traditionally made with Ribeye or Sirloin, Roby says any tender, thinly sliced steak works. Marinated in ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce, the beef is paired with kimchi and gochujang, making it a customizable and quick weeknight option.

Another favorite is her Blissfully Beefy Börek, inspired by flavors from Turkey and North Africa. This dish wraps a spicy ground beef mixture in phyllo dough for a crunchy, flavorful meat pie that’s sure to become a family staple.

The Greenest Ads are the result of a collaboration between Organic Valley farmers, their cows, and a team of experts in grazing, fencing and aerial photography. Organic Valley designed the ads to catch the attention of passengers flying over the farms and to spark curiosity about the organic practices that protect the environment and produce high-quality dairy products.

“I love talking about how buzz-worthy organic farming is, but seeing life in those letters, seeing monarchs and other wildlife in the field, that’s really special,” said Melissa Weyland, an Organic Valley farmer from Wisconsin.

The Greenest Ads can be seen from planes flying over farms in Maryland, Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as on social media. Organic Valley has also created a landing page on its website, where visitors can learn more about the campaign, the farmers and the environmental benefits of organic farming. The campaign will run until the end of October, when the pasture season ends.

Organic Valley is also drawing attention to pastures and small family farm perseverance by sponsoring Farm Aid 2024 in Saratoga Springs, New York, Sept. 21. This collaboration draws attention to the challenges faced by small farmers and celebrates their resilience and dedication to providing high-quality organic food. Organic Valley emphasizes the crucial role that family farms play in our agricultural landscape and reaffirms commitment to supporting these organic farmers.

Read more about what it takes to create The Greenest Ads and hear from the farmers involved, on Organic Valley’s blog, Rootstock®.
