Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
 
1.  What Is the Difference Between your beef and organic beef?
 
Our beef is not certified organic although it is very close. Our cattle are grass-fed just like organic cattle, however, we do not feed our beef organic corn (just regular corn), thereby voluntarily disqualifying ourselves from the organic program. You could say we are ‘a corn kernel away from organic’.  The common names given to our style of beef are “Naturally Raised” or “Traditionally Raised” or “Artisanal” or “RWA (Raised Without Antibiotics, Added Hormones, Animal By-products)”.
