What Healthy Looks Like - Part II

The final chapters for our  steak

Field full of healthy

So, what does healthy look like when it comes to animals raised for food? And what does healthy look like during the transition from pasture to plate?

Here's the conclusion to our steak's story. 🐂 🥩

Step 3: ANIMALS

Out to pasture, early spring


Animals' physical, emotional, and social health reflects the health of their surroundings.

In a regenerative farming model, animals are fully integrated into a natural ecosystem.

More to the story...

Integrating animals in a natural ecosystem encourages:

🐂  Natural behavior expression

(foraging and herding, free movement, grazing, socializing, breathing fresh air, soaking up sunshine)

🌾  Metabolic and digestive health

(built upon a natural, nutrient-dense & fiber-rich diet of diverse, regeneratively-managed grassland)

💪  Strong parasite and disease resistance

(conferred by strong immune systems and natural immunity from a life lived outdoors)

🦴  Excellent structural soundness

(robust muscles, bones, and mobility built through constant movement across varied, uneven terrain)

🧘‍♀️  Calm temperament

(developed by living in stable social structures with ample space to move)

...in other words?  The integration of animals into a natural ecosystem encourages healthy animals.

In the 17 years we have been farming, we have fully integrated our animals into nature since Day One.

Step 4: MEAT

Animals benefit from thoughtful, species-specific care in alignment with nature's blueprint.

In a regenerative farming model, the transition of living animals into healthy food is built on those same core values.

More to the story...

Here's what a humane and healthy transition looks like:

🕗  Watching the animals, not the clock

Animals are allowed to naturally reach the appropriate size and physical condition for harvest according to their natural patterns of eating, movement, and growth.

🧸  Minimizing stress

We move animals onto transport vehicles ourselves, using strategies that keep animals' stress and cortisol levels low.

✔️  Carefully vetting processing facilities

for everything from humane slaughter practices to impeccable standards for butchering, quality, packaging methods, and more.

❄️  Vacuum-sealing and deep freezing

to lock in flavor, quality, and nutrients without the need for chemical or mechanical interventions.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦  Direct distribution

which bypasses industrial supply chains and distributes food directly from farm to consumer.

In other words?  A humane and healthy transition makes for healthy animals and healthy meat.

In 17 years of farming, we have prioritized health every step of the way: from soil, to plants, to animals, to meat, to you.

If your priorities match ours? We'd love to pack you a box.
