Our lamb is 100% grass fed. We have a strict no grain, hormones and antibiotics policy for animals destine for slaughter. Our animals are rotated through our improved and managed pasture throughout the grazing season and receive the best care in a healthy and clean environment. We truly care about each of our animals.
Although grass fed meats have tremendous number of health benefits, we feel perhaps the greatest benefit is the connection of farmer and consumer. As we, the farmers, reach out and connect with the consumer offering a better alternative to mass produced impersonal food, we strengthen communities not only economically by keep food dollars local, but also by reestablishing personal relationships and expand our community.
The health benefits of grass fed are many including increased Conjugated linoleic Acid, lower cholesterol, more Omega 3 Fatty Acid, and decreased occurrence of E.Coli contamination. All of this leads to decreased heart troubles, lower weight, lessened cancer risks, generally better health when combined with other smart food choices.
There are many documented environmental benefits too. Grass farms including ours experience decreased erosion, greater plant and wildlife diversity, lessened dependence on fossil fuels, and animal wastes are naturally spread with no dangerously concentrated collection areas.
