While sustainable farming seeks to maintain the status quo and prevent further harm, regenerative farming focuses on actively healing and improving the land and environment.
What is BEYOND ORGANIC?
We go beyond organic standards to ensure our meats are truly 100% natural. While "organic" labels have become less stringent, allowing for practices that may not fully align with the original principles of organic farming, we maintain rigorous standards.
Our livestock are raised in their natural environments, fed natural diets, and cared for using holistic practices that promote their well-being and the health of the land. This commitment ensures that our meats are not only free from harmful substances but also more nutritious and flavorful.
"Beyond organic" signifies a higher level of commitment to farming practices than the standard "organic" label, which can sometimes be less stringent than consumers might expect. Here’s how "beyond organic" steps above traditional organic practices:
Rigorous Standards
Organic certification allows certain synthetic substances and practices that are not entirely natural. "Beyond organic" farms strictly avoid all synthetic chemicals, focusing exclusively on natural processes.
Regenerative Practices
While organic farming often focuses on what not to use (e.g., pesticides, synthetic fertilizers), "beyond organic" incorporates regenerative practices that actively restore and enhance ecosystem health. This includes methods like cover cropping, no-till farming, and holistic grazing.
Animal Welfare
Organic standards can sometimes permit confined conditions as long as certain guidelines are met. "Beyond organic" ensures animals are raised in natural, pasture-based environments, promoting better animal welfare and healthier meat.
Nutritional Quality
"Beyond organic" farming emphasizes not only the absence of harmful substances but also the enhancement of nutritional content through soil health and animal diet. Healthier soils lead to more nutrient-dense livestock.
Environmental Impact
"Beyond organic" aims to positively impact the environment by increasing biodiversity, improving soil health, and sequestering carbon, rather than merely reducing harm.
Transparency and Integrity
"Beyond organic" farms often prioritize transparency, inviting consumers to learn about and even visit their farming operations to see practices firsthand, ensuring trust and integrity.
"Beyond Organic" takes many steps further than conventional organic standards by emphasizing ecological regeneration, stringent natural practices, superior animal welfare, enhanced nutritional quality, positive environmental impact, and greater transparency.
