The answer to this question will depend on the animal species in question, thus we'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.

LAMB

 Pasture-Raised | Our sheep are raised similarly to our cattle–rotated to fresh pasture consuming grass during the growing season. During the cold winter months, these animals are given non-GMO hay and barley. 

• No antibiotics or Growth Hormones

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