The answer to this question will depend on the animal species in question, thus I've outlined the details for each below.

BEEF

• 100% Grass-fed and finished | Our cattle are raised outdoors in the open pasture, consuming a strict 100% forage diet. These animals will not consume any grains in their lifetime

• No antibiotics or Growth Hormones | It is our goal to keep your meat as 'Weird-Free' as possible.

• No GMOs | These animals consume grasses and hay that has not been genetically modified, nor sprayed with any chemicals. 

POULTRY

 Pasture-Raised | As the season permits, our chickens are moved to fresh green pasture each and every day and are given access to non- GMO grain rations (corn & soy), as these birds are not ruminant animals.

• No antibiotics or Growth Hormones

• No GMOs | All forages and feed rations are completely GMO-free.

Pasture-Raised vs. Grass-Fed

This blog clarifies the differences between pasture-raised and grass-fed meat. Grass-fed beef refers to cattle that primarily eat grasses but may be finished on grains, while pasture-raised animals roam freely on open pastures and consume a more varied diet. Both methods offer health benefits, but pasture-raised focuses more on animal welfare and ethical treatment. Grass-fed meat tends to be leaner and higher in omega-3 fatty acids, while pasture-raised meat is typically more flavorful. Both options support sustainable farming practices, making them better choices for the environment and health.
