A common excuse most use for why they don't try to only eat humanely raised beef is because it is not available to them. However, White Oak Pastures produces locally and humanely raised beef in Bluffon, Ga. White Oak Pastures also has its own slaughter house which meets all federal standards. Its purpose is to promote humanely raised and slaughtered animals while remaining enviornmentally conscious. These grass-fed cows are better for you and are not fed any antibiotics or hormones(unlike those on factory farms). White Oak Patures hopes to meet with restaurants and chefs to expand their consumers. Hopefully we will one day see the benefits of these farms!
See for yourself!

This is the farm that the Whole Foods on Lavista uses for all its beef! Most delicious...
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that there are countless benefits to locally grown food, especailly the enviromental aspect...I mean, who wants a piece of beef that has traveled thousands of miles and consumed countless gallons of fuel??...not me!! Thanks for a great article :)
