HEALTHIER BEEF

Our cattle are not only healthier themselves, but their meat is healthier for you to eat. Compared to grain-fed beef, a serving of our grass-fed beef has:

  • 1/3 less saturated fats
  • 2-6 times the cell-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids
  • 3-5 times the Omega-7 which lower cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides
  • 2-3 times heart-healthy and cancer-inhibiting conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
  • 1.5 times more dietary protein

Free Range, Pasture Raised as Part of Certified Humane Program

There is one organization certifying farms for free range chicken. If poultry is certified "free range" as part of the Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC)'s Certified Humane program, it means the chickens spend at least six hours a day outdoors (weather permitting), and have at least two square feet per bird in their pens. The Certified Humane certification covers a variety of issues.

"Pasture-raised" HFAC certification (also an adjunct to the organization's Certified Humane certification) requires 108 square feet per bird, and for the chickens to be outdoors year-round in rotating fields, with shelter only to protect them from very inclement weather or from predators.

 


                Why Switch to Pastured Free Range Pork*


                                        *Tamworth (a heritage breed) 


1. Better Tasting Pork. Sunshine, Grass & Low Stress – The Recipe for Perfect Pork. Say goodbye to flavorless, dry and anemic looking pork. Pasture raised pork is richer tasting. Each breed tastes different, and the flavor differs depending on what the pigs have eaten. Once you try it, you’ll never want to eat CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) pork again. Pastured pork does cook faster than conventionally raised pork, so searing the outside of cuts like chops, then transferring to the oven to finish is your best bet. Low and slow techniques like braising are also great with pastured pork.

2. More Nutritious Pork. Pigs raised on pasture have 300 percent more vitamin E and 74 percent more selenium (a vital antioxidant) in their milk than pigs raised in confinement, according to Don C. Mahan Professor of Animal Sciences at Ohio State University. This bounty of nutrients promotes healthier litters, shorter farrowing times, and good milk let down. Pastured pigs raised outdoors can also have more Vitamin D (read all about Vitamin D here, from the brilliant Chris Masterjohn) in the lard.  Loren Cordain cites three studies on his website for the following quote:  “Because pigs are monogastric animals (single stomach), they have the ability to convert vegetable and plant 18 carbon fatty acids (ALA) to the 20 and 22 carbon fatty acids (EPA and DHA) which reduce inflammation, reduce cardiovascular disease and promote good health for us all when we eat pork. Free ranging pork contains higher concentrations of these beneficial fatty acids than are found in their feed lot produced counterparts.” Additionally, there are no unnecessary antibiotics or growth stimulators given to organic, pasture-raised pork.
