Grass Fed Benefits

Health Benefits
Grass fed animal products have been shown to be higher in beta carotene (Vitamin A), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are important in reducing cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and other life threatening diseases.  These products are lower in fat, cholesterol and calories.  In addition, the risk by E. coli in these products is virtually eliminated.  Our meat is also free from antibiotics, growth promoters and other additives which are an increasing concern for many people. 

Animal Benefits
Grass fed systems are better for the animals as they are raised only on pasture, out in the open with fresh air and water.  They live longer and can produce longer due to more natural, less stressful, conditions.

Environmental Benefits
Healthy pastures reduce soil erosion, while improving air and water quality and build soil organic matter.  They also provide habitat and forage for wildlife.

Taste Benefits
The animals grow slowly and naturally which means they are full of flavor and delicious.  We also use traditional livestock breeds which ensures a good "marbling" of the meat.
