Nutritional Advantages

Why meats and eggs raised on grass are nutritionally superior to those raised in modern confinement operations:

Higher in antioxidants like Vitamin E, A, and C
Free of hormones, antibiotics, steroids or other artificial substances
Lower in fat overall, while nutritionally superior fats occur naturally
Grassfed meats have 2 to 4 times more Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart, brain and nervous system function, and may reduce the risk of heart disease or cancer.
Pastured eggs have 10 times more Omega-3 fatty acids, more folic acid, B-12 and lutein.
Richest known source of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a potent defense against cancer- 3 to 5 times more than conventional meats. CLA also promotes muscle-building over fat-building in humans
Significantly less disease-causing bacteria
Free of GMO (genetically modified organisms) feed
Free of synthetic vitamins which are poorly absorbed
Individual grass farmers have a higher standard. Animals raised on grass are free of diseases which pass the mass-market inspection
Free of formaldehyde rinses, injected salt solutions, preservatives and irradiation
