It’s exciting. There’s a “movement” afoot. All over the USA, folks are re-discovering the value of good food! Healthy food – whether it be vegetables, grains or meat. Food grown by folks they can meet and get to know, in places they can visit. Food that is grown as locally, naturally and sustainably as is possible. Some call it the Slow Food Movement.
Whatever you call it, it’s a trend that’s bound to be good for people. We believe that slowing down, learning about where your food comes from, appreciating the bounty and the nutrition is good for people mentally, physically and spiritually. At the same time, this attitude change leads to a “win” for the animals and the environment.
Grassfed beef is one part of this movement. Grassfed beef comes from cattle that are allowed to live all their lives in the pasture, eating what they were designed to eat and being kept free from growth hormones and bulk antibiotics. “Cows expressing their cowness”, as Joel Salatin of the Polyface Farms would say. In the process, the cattle create a beef that contains the highly sought out Omega 3 fatty acid, which is lost with grain-finished beef.
Lone Star Grassfed LLC, through the Condalia Farms Brand, is proud and excited to be a part of this movement. Please join with us, and enjoy some of our beef!
From the Wall Street Journal, 6-10-2010: Ordering up Beef that Roamed on the Range “Out of five grassfed suppliers … all our tasters agreed that grass-fed beef tasted fresher and less greasy than supermarket beef.”
