The beef sold at Food Lion, Kroger, Harris Teeter, etc is from cattle fattened in manure-filled feedlots with thousands of other cattle. Their diet consists of genetically-modified (GM) corn, antibiotics, growth hormones, liquefied fat from other cattle, urea made from natural gas, pig "by-products," and chicken feathers. This feedlot beef is higher in saturated fat and lower in omega-three fatty acids compared to grass-fed beef.

Here is what an industrial-scale feedlot looks like:

Does that look sustainable, healthy and ethical to you?

In contrast, our small herd of cattle are individually cared-for and rotated through fresh pastures on our farm. Their diet consists solely of grass, supplemented with certified organic alfalfa, sea kelp, and natural minerals. Our USDA-inspected beef is not only healthier, but we think you'll find it much tastier too.
