Grass Finished Beef: Good for Farmers
In the Northeast, we are promoting a return to the practices of our forefathers. That means a return to grass farming, a technique that is gaining in popularity around the world. With grass farming, animals are moved often onto a fresh paddock so that grass is continually being grazed when the vitamins, minerals and proteins are at their best. As a result, cattle get the best possible nutrition, manure is spread evenly across the land, and the farmland actually improves with use.
Family farms especially in the Northeast are disappearing at an alarming rate. It’s no surprise, as farmers face pressure from developers who will reward them with high prices for selling their land. They also face challenges in reaching markets for their products and getting competitive prices.
We are working with farmers to develop the market for healthy meat and livestock products and to connect them with consumers who care about the quality and safety of their food.
Look for the Hardwick Beef label for certified 100% grass-finished beef.
