It’s tastier!

When it comes to taste, local, grass-fed ground beef has an unmistakable flavor that separates it from conventional supermarket cuts. 

Grass-fed beef has a richer and more earthy taste than grain-fed supermarket meat due to the variety of forages in their diets, giving it much of its distinctive flavor. 
 

It’s healthier!

Nutritionally speaking, grass-fed beef is among one of the most nutrient-dense foods available.

It’s packed with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, and zinc, and small amounts of healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids. 

Grass-fed beef also contains higher levels of antioxidants which fight against cell damage caused by oxidative stress in our bodies. 

Compared to grain-finished meats, grass-fed meats have up to five times more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties that can help protect against some diseases.
 

It’s more affordable!


Economically speaking, ground beef is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to enjoy grass-fed beef. 

Ground beef can easily be divided into separate portions, making it an ideal option for larger families on a budget or singles that wish to stretch meals and freeze portions for later use. 

All in all, buying grass-fed ground beef offers excellent value for money!

As consumers become more aware of the importance of sustainable, nutritious, and ethically raised food sources, grass-fed beef stands head and shoulders above other options. 

From taste and nutrition to economic value, local, grass-fed ground beef is an unparalleled choice in terms of its benefits.
