This company is awesome and have the best chuck roasts that I have ever tasted, I just put it in my crock pot and let it cook all day and then eat the most tender, juicy and delicious beef ever. They have all cuts of beef, chicken, pork, bison, lamb and even rabbit. The best part is this meat is so much healthier for you while tasting so much better than meat you buy at a supermarket. Just try some you will see the difference. It is important to cook this meat slowly to get the best taste and tenderness. Cooking food slowly on low heat is also so much better for our health.
CLA - remember this new acronym!
It's going to change the way America eats for the better! It's amazing what a difference diet really makes, for cattle and for us. When cattle eat right, beef is incredibly good for you! Read on.
THE CLA ADVANTAGE
International scientific research is demonstrating positive results in:
• Combating Cancer
• Combating Arteriosclerosis (clogged arteries)
• Reducing Body Fat
• Preventing or Delaying the onset of Diabetes
Research conducted over the last decade has discovered a naturally occurring substance in beef, conjugated linoleic acid or CLA. Michael Pariza first discovered CLA at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in his anticancer research. In multiple research studies, CLA has been shown to both reduce the incidence of cancer and suppress the growth of existing cancers in laboratory animals.
Recent studies in Europe indicated that patients with higher levels of CLA in breast tissue had less tumor growth. Other studies have correlated CLA with decreasing body fat and increasing lean body mass. One study showed that humans receiving CLA had a significant decrease in body fat as compared to the placebo group. Yet other research has shown that CLA delays or prevents the onset of diabetes and reduces arteriosclerosis (coronary artery disease).
There are good fats, fats that contain essential nutrients for life and health. In the American diet, beef and milk fat are the best sources for CLA. But studies have also shown that the cattle's diet has a significant impact on the amount of CLA in the meat and dairy products. Not surprisingly, when cattle eat their natural diet, foraging pasture grasses and legumes, CLA levels are 30-40% higher. CLA levels drop dramatically in feed lots where cattle are fed grain and other byproduct feedstuff.
The first chamber of the bovine stomach sets the stage for fatty acid production. The pH 7 of the grazing animal contains the family of bacteria that produces high levels of omega 3 and CLA due to near base saturation. The beef animal consuming grain in the first chamber stomach has a very acidic pH. This set stage for a different bacteria family, that result in higher omega 6 production and lower omega 3 and CLA output. Free range grazing animals result in a win win for the environment and consumers alike.
GRASSLAND BEEF will give you the CLA advantage. Health food stores are beginning to sell CLA supplements, but studies suggest that naturally occurring CLA is metabolized and used differently than synthetic CLA. See the research and reference section of our site for source document information.
OMEGA 3'S
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid for human growth and development. We must have it to be healthy. Grass-finished beef is a great source for this essential nutrient. We know that Omega 3 is great for individuals with heart disease, and other studies are showing that Omega 3 may also have an anti-carcinogenic effect. The source of Omega 3 is the green leaves of plants. When cattle eat their natural diet, beef becomes a great source of Omega 3. Grain is not a rich source of Omega 3, so standard, cattle-finishing practices cause the Omega 3 level to decrease dramatically. Our grass-finishing protocol produces a great, natural source for Omega 3.
REDUCED FAT
Because GRASSLAND BEEF cattle are raised and finished in their natural environment, eating their natural diet, the meat is much leaner than the beef of standard, grain-finished livestock. Grass-fed beef has a much better fatty acid ration and less total fat than grain-fed animals! The myth is that cattle must be grain-fed to be tender and tasty, but we now know better. GRASSLAND BEEF is leaner, so you'll need to cook it at lower temperatures. Wait until you sink your teeth into the lean, clean flavor of GRASSLAND BEEF. You'll find that greasy taste has been replaced by the great beef flavor that you love, AND as an added bonus, it's GREAT for you!
NATURAL, ADDITIVE-FREE BEEF
At GRASSLAND BEEF we eat what we sell! We are absolutely committed to the highest standards of food quality and safety. No pesticides or herbicides are used on the pastures where our cattle graze. No preservatives or additives are in our products. No growth implants, feed grade antibiotics or unnecessary antibiotics are given to the animals. Animals are only given antibiotics when necessitated for the treatment of illness. When this occurs the cattle must meet our required withdrawal time prior to processing, which is double that of the industry standard. Cattle graze on a managed rotation, which provides them with consistently fresh forage.
We are also absolutely committed to the humane treatment of our animals. Stress is avoided, and the animals are provided with fresh, clean water to drink while they graze in their natural environment. Last, but not least, we do not irradiate our meat! GRASSLAND BEEF is carefully prepared for shipping in our processor's clean, safe, USDA-inspected facility. See our production protocol for more information.

articles on CLA from professional journals over the last decade.
This is U.S. Wellness Meats Protocol for raising animals.
Their family of producers uses the U.S. Wellness Meats production protocol to ensure that the quality of the product you receive is consistent time after time. Here is what you can count on.
Their animals' health and your health are protected in the following ways:
• No hormones are added to their cattle, pork, dairy, lamb, and poultry.
• No feed grade antibiotics.
• None of U.S. Wellness meats are irradiated. • No animal by-products used in any of the U.S. Wellness animal growing programs.
• No feed grains fed to the cattle, dairy, or lamb.
Grassland Beef cattle free range on a pasture salad bar containing a mix of cool season grasses, Summer annual grasses, clovers and native warm season grasses. Beef animals in the Midwest must go through one Winter season and are fed hay, starch free plant protein, and stockpiled pasture grasses for approximately 90 days in mid Winter.
• Grain policy for chickens and pigs.
Chickens require grain for growth. The U.S. Wellness chicken cooperator is very active in the South Carolina organic association and produces organic grains on his farm for the chickens. Pasture raised poultry simply means the chickens are raised in an outside environment and allowed to run around with grass under foot. Being outside on pasture they have access to legumes, grasses and insects which adds zest to their diet and flavor to the meat. Not to mention plenty of exercise that equates to better formed muscles and excellent meat texture.
The pigs lead a similar life with feet on dirt every day versus confined to tight quarters in an industrial confined setting on concrete. Hence the ‘raised humanely certification’ USDA has awarded the U.S. Wellness pork producers. Plus, breeds being raised are old line genetics with more natural flavor and do not require pumping the pork to enhance flavor as is commonly practiced in modern pork production. The pigs we are raising do consume grain as there stomachs are the same as humans and unable to effectively digest forage as do the beef, lamb and dairy animals we sell.
I have used Aubrey Organics for about 5 years now. Since I was a teenager I have been putting body lotion on my body, but each and every winter my skin would still itch terribly. I came to realize just 5 short years ago the reason for this. Almost all synthetic body lotions have sodium laurel sulfate as an ingredient and I found out that this chemical actually takes the natural moisture out of your skin. Since I have been using Aubrey Organic's body lotion my skin does not ever itch anymore. My favorite is the Rosa Mosqueta I still to this day do not understand why manufacturers would put an ingredient in body lotion that would dry your skin out, well except for the fact that you might use more of the body lotion if your skin was still dry and they would make more money that way. Not only does soduim laurel sulfate take the natural moisture out of your body but when this horrible chemical is mixed with some other synthetic ingredients used in personal care items it can cause cancer. The following are some great reasons to use Aubrey Organics personal care products. They even have pet products, the shampoo and rinse/dip is awesome. My golden retreivers smell so good when I use it on them.

Vital Choice Wild Pacific Salmon is a pure and natural source of the essential long-chain, "marine" omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA.
The results of countless studies indicate that these vital nutrients promote optimal health and may help prevent or ameliorate heart disease, Alzheimer's, depression, and other health conditions (please see note at bottom of this page*).
For a complete summary of the health benefits of omega-3s, see the Vital Choice White Paper titled Long Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Human Health.
(Wild salmon is also the richest food source of astaxanthin. This powerful antioxidant pigment, which gives salmon its characteristic red-orange color, confers its own documented health benefits.)
Each 3.5 ounce serving of our Alaskan sockeye contains a minimum of 1.2 grams of omega-3 EPA and DHA.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that healthy people enjoy two servings of fish every week to ensure adequate of omega-3s. And the AHA says that people diagnosed with coronary heart disease may need to take fish oil capsules to achieve higher levels of omega-3s (for more information, click on the AHA "Learn More" link above).
NOTE: Persons diagnosed with heart disease--especially patients with implanted cardiac defibrillators or taking blood thinning drugs-- must consult a physician before taking supplemental omega-3s or any other dietary supplement.

They do not permit any animal they raise or purchase to be administered hormones or growth additives or antibiotics; they use no artificial ingredients and no pesticides or herbicides are ever used in the soil or feed.. Blackwing also supplies some of the nation’s top health food stores and five star restaurants.

The best part for me is that they are delivered frozen right to my door so I don’t even have to go to the grocery store.
