Organic Beef - Gourmet Guide

The theory behind Organic Beef is to raise cattle in a way that supports its health needs and natural behavior. Organic Beef is beef comprised of 100% organic ingredients. Cattle raised for Organic Beef must have access to the outdoors and its grass and pastures, fresh air, water and sunshine. The cattle must be fed 100% organic feed and be born and raised on certified organic pasture free of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers. The cattle must also not be fed any animal by-products. To be raised for Organic Beef, the calf’s mother must also have been fed organic feed for a period of time prior to the calf's birth. Organic Beef must also come from cattle who have never received antibiotics or growth hormones.

For beef to be certified organic, The US Department of Agriculture requires that the organic production system of the beef offer the history of the animals in the system from birth to marketing of the meat including their breed, diet and veterinary care. This allows traceability of the Organic Beef for the purchaser.
