Why Grass-Fed is Best

Why is Grass-fed Best?

At Wild Mountain Farm, we fully believe that grass-fed beef and lamb and pasture-raised pork and poultry
products, when produced following principals of organic agriculture, are the best of their kind. The virtues are
many and we can separate them into four broad and deep groups: 1) benefits for the environment, 2) benefits
for the lives of the animals, 3) benefits for the farmers who raise the animals, and 4) benefits for the health of
the people who eat the products.

In terms of our health, we may not have scratched the surface of intricacies why it's healthful to consume food
that has been part of our evolution for milennia. Better known is the fact that these types of foods were robbed
from our diet during the last couple of generations as economic factors and misled governments favored
confinement farms and grain-based feeding over the traditional and natural husbandries of our ancestors.

To detail all the virtues of pasture-based farming and livestock products in one page on a website would be
hard. Fortunately, there is one who has made it her life work learning, synthesizing, and communicating all
that is known on the matter of why grass-fed is best. She even wrote a book called just that and she operates
an entire website devoted to communicating everything known about why the world would be happier, healthier,
and safer with more pasture-based livestock farms. Allow me to introduce Jo Robinson and her fabulous #1
website for grass-fed food and facts -- eatwild.com.

From a nutritional perspective, the best source of information on the virtues of grass-fed and pasture-raised
products may be found through exploring the deep archives, news releases, and calls for action at the website
of The Westin A Price Foundation for Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and The Healing Arts. The president of
this organization is Sally Fallon Morell, and her cookbook called Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that
Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats is one of the most cherished pieces of literature
in our home at Wild Mountain Farm.
