Nick’s Sticks, a Castleray company, has its roots firmly planted in the fertile soils of the rural Midwest. Founded in 2011, Nick’s Sticks was born out of a desire to provide quality, protein rich, meat snacks – Naturally. Hand crafted locally in small batches, we have been able to craft a snack stick that is better for you and your family, without sacrificing flavor or taste. Try one and we think you will agree. As a pioneer in the grass-fed feed and nutrient-dense food movements, we are passionate about producing only the highest-quality food products, using the highest quality ingredients, or as we like to say, “All of the goodness – none of the garbage.”
Cattle thrive on lush, green grass, sunshine, and free-range living. Poultry grow and thrive best in a free range atmosphere. This is the way nature had intended for them to grow. It also captures our approach as well. That is why we only use grass fed free range beef and venison in our products, and free range chicken and turkey. Straightforward, uncomplicated foods that nourish your body and soul.
The Whole30 Program has been changing lives since 2009 when co-founder Melissa Hartwig Urban blogged about a 30-day dietary experiment that transformed her health, habits, and emotional relationship with food.
The Whole30 is not a diet, but an elimination protocol that helps individuals target problematic ingredients. For 30 days, participants remove added sugar, alcohol, grains, most legumes, and forms of dairy from their diet. Slowly reintroducing the ingredients after that time allows the participants to see what may be causing health issues in their everyday lives.
The Whole 30 has been proven to help eliminate cravings, improve energy, and sleep, and lose weight healthfully and sustainably. Many also report an improvement in allergies, anxiety, chronic pain, digestive issues, and skin conditions. Whole30 has also helped individuals with Hashimoto’s, ADD, Crohn’s, IBS, and Celiac Disease, to name a few.
Nick’s Sticks uses only the cleanest ingredients and proteins to meet Whole30 standards. We proudly label each package with the Whole30 Approved logo. Hence, you will always know each stick is free of gluten, added sugars, artificial colors, MSGs, nitrates, antibiotics, and hormones.
Choose from grass-fed beef, grass-fed venison, free-range chicken, and free-range turkey when you need a protein boost you won’t regret. So, eat clean and live healthy with Nick’s Sticks and the Whole30 program.
