At the core of Ferguson Farms, our goal is to help families eat healthier meat. This is why we specialize in grass-fed and finished beef, pasture-raised poultry, and wild-caught fish. These are all very healthy proteins, however, pork IS NOT. My wife and I stopped eating pork over a decade ago after doing quite a bit of research on how eating habits affect our health. We can't, in good conscience sell pork to our customers who trust us to put the best available, local source proteins on their tables.

Guide to Grass-Fed Beef

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of grass-fed beef, explaining its health benefits, ethical farming practices, and environmental advantages. Grass-fed beef is leaner and richer in omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and antioxidants compared to grain-fed beef. The post also covers how grass-fed beef is produced using sustainable practices like rotational grazing, which promotes better soil health and biodiversity. It explains the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef and offers tips for cooking grass-fed beef. Overall, the guide highlights why grass-fed beef is a healthier, more ethical, and environmentally friendly choice.

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.

Grass-Fed vs. Grass-Finished

This blog explores the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Grass-fed beef refers to cattle that eat grass for part of their lives but may be finished on grain in feedlots, while grass-finished beef means the cattle are fed grass or forage their entire lives. Grass-finished beef offers superior health benefits, including higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and antioxidants, and is leaner compared to grain-fed beef. It also promotes sustainable farming through rotational grazing and contributes to better animal welfare. Overall, grass-finished beef provides a healthier, more ethical, and environmentally friendly option.
