Are you trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
Are you struggling to change your eating habits in response to environmental pressures?
Tasty, low-calorie grass-fed beef from a local farm near you may well be the answer you’ve been looking for. In addition to numerous health benefits, grass-fed, pasture-raised beef offers many ecological benefits as well.
Here are four benefits for you to think about.
Soil Health and Carbon Sequestration
Did you know that holistic planned grazing can help reverse desertification? Cow manure returns nutrients to the soil even as cows munch on the grass. This in turn grows stronger, more robust grass. The land becomes more drought-resistant.
Meanwhile, pasture land acts as a carbon sink. More plants are a good thing for the environment. That’s just science!
Reduced Reliance on Fossil Fuels
When you buy from a local farm, you reduce the number of miles your meat has to travel.
No matter where you stand on climate change, conservation and good stewardship are always wise. Whether you take advantage of our free 50-mile delivery radius or whether you come to us, what you’re not doing is shipping beef across multiple states to get it to your table, and that’s the smart choice.
Biodiversity and Habitat Preservation
By strengthening the soil and preserving natural grassland habitats, grass-fed beef encourages a healthier ecosystem overall.
Grass-fed beef is compatible with the preservation of many other animal species, as well as with the preservation of native plant species.
Water Conservation and Quality
Feedlot beef requires the use of synthetic fertilizers and other water-polluting chemicals. While on the whole grass-fed cows need a little more drinking water than grain-fed cows (which are slaughtered sooner), they don’t contribute to groundwater and waterway pollution to the same degree that grain-fed cows do.
We all need good, clean water to live (regardless of where you stand politically on issues like climate change). If you love the beauty of Texas waterways, then grass-fed beef emerges as a clear choice.
