What is so unique about our production method? |
|
• The upland grazing has never been subjected to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or weed-killers, leaving the soil in a natural pristine condition, virtually unchanged since the Bronze Age- truly organic.
• Our low impact farm has a much lower stocking level than a commercial farm: |

|
Commercial farming = 1+animal per acre
Omega Beef farming= 1 organic Galloway per 20+ acres
|
| |
• Our meat is dry-aged for at least 14 days, expertly hand-cut, wrapped and blast-frozen immediately to protect valuable nutrients and omega oils. |
