We are passionate about providing meat that comes only from 100% grass-fed animals and have not been given growth hormones or antibiotics.
For documentation on the benefits of grass-fed meat, see the resources below. We also recommend that you do your own research as well.
“Grass-fed beef typically comes from cattle that eat only grass and other foraged foods throughout their lives. Grass-fed beef may have some heart-health benefits that other types of beef don’t have. When compared with other types of beef, grass-fed may have:
*Less total fat
*More heart-healthy omega3 fatty acids
* More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks.
* More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E”

“A benefit of omega-3s is that they may reduce your risk of cancer. In animal studies, these essential fats have slowed the growth of a wide array of cancers and also kept them from spreading. Omega-3s are most abundant in seafood and certain nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds and walnuts, but they are also found in animals raised on pasture. The reason is simple. Omega-3s are formed in the chloroplasts of green leaves and algae. Sixty percent of the fatty acids in grass are omega-3s.”
