There are many reports that the Bovine Growth Hormone used in dairy cattle is causes a host of maladies in individuals, form breast cancer, to obesity, to food sensitivity. There are also antibiotics in beef cattle. Solutions are injected into the meat so that it displays better, and hormones also are sometimes given to cattle to make them more substantial. While some may argue the solution is to go off of eating meat entirely, there are many others who are looking for sources of meat that they can trust for their family. Many of my readers are concerned with sustainability or are looking to consume an organic diet. Also, some individuals have chosen a raw diet for their dog and the grocery store meat is just too laced with preservatives.
One company that provides Natural Meat to suppliers and restaurants is Niman’s Ranch. They source meat from small, 650 family farms across the United States where cattle, swine, and sheep are raised in a humane and organic way. All animals are fed the finest of vegetarian feeds, and are independently inspected by veterinarians regularly. Since small, independent farmers raise the animals, you are also helping family farms stay in business. While much of American food is going overseas, these small farms are committed to keeping it local.
Their site has an online store coming soon, where you can order meat and specialty products for your family to enjoy in your own home, skipping the middle man of a restaurant or market. I do not eat beef, but My Favorite Guy and other relatives do. I am going to definitely consider ordering, as eating humanely raised, vegetarian fed, and antibiotic free meat keeps your loved ones healthy. It looks like they are going to have some specialty products as well.
