Protocols

Just like it sounds. The cattle and sheep receive only pasture and the chickens are fed non GMO grain. We take care that even the mineral we use is GMO free.

The animal was born, raised, and finished on lush pasture and was never fed grain or grain byproducts or candy, or a high fiber pellet, or any other grain based supplement that most supposedly grass fed cattle are fed (sometimes in feedlots that then sell it as grass fed). 

The animal never received antibiotics or growth hormones at any time. Just so you know everything we produce and market has never received antibiotics or growth hormones. We are not wordsmithing either. When we say never fed we also mean never received, injected with, or supplemented with in any way. If our animals are sick we will treat them with the appropriate medicine; however if that treatment includes antibiotics the animal will be sold into the commodity market (where supermarket meat comes from).

Just like it sounds no nitrates or MSG. We want all of our products to nourish our families not harm them. 

Yes Just Like It Sounds. We never use mRNA vaccines on any of our livestock and we never will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The animal spends its life with access to pasture (except when seasonally accommodated) in an environment that allows it to express its natural behaviors.

rbST Free means just what it should mean. We don't treat our cows with human growth hormone like most dairy cows are (even though the industry claims they don't)

Animals are seasonally raised in shelters (during winter or inclement weather) for their health and welfare. They gleefully return to pasture in the spring.

Animals were supplemented with Non-GMO grain while on pasture or seasonally accommodated in shelters. We like to call this heritage grain. To call it non-GMO evokes a negative image and sets the standard of grain as GMO. Its time we made a new standard: a heritage standard.
