Quality Meats

Here at Far Away Farm we strive to raise "all-natural" animals so that we can provide you with the best meat and eggs around

ORGANIC VS. NATURAL
WHAT IT MEANS TO US

We classify our meat as "all natural," however we go above and beyond the regulations and hit many of the organic regulations, such as, unrestricted access to the outdoors and never ingesting any animal byproducts.

By definition, organic beef is raised all organically. From birth to harvesting each animal must be fed 100% US Organic grains and grasses. Antibiotics and synthetic growth hormones are restricted from organic beef. Organic beef must have unlimited access to the outdoors.

Feedlots with many animals, and little acreage regularly put antibiotics in their feed to keep their animals from spreading disease. Most of those animals are injected with synthetic hormones.

We are not a feedlot. Our cattle graze on many acres of pasture on our two farms. They are supplemented with grain, grown on our farms with the least amount of pesticides possible. The only time any animal receives antibiotics is to keep it safe. If the animal becomes sick and the only way to help the animal recover is to give it antibiotics- we do so, we feel it is more important to be humane and keep our animals healthy then to let them suffer without medications.

According to the definition of natural beef, the main differences lie in the harvesting process. Natural beef is processed without flavorings, colorings, preservatives or synthetic additives. Regulations do not address their food or environment; there are no requirements that the cattle have access to the outdoors. Hopefully it can be gathered from the information listed in this website that we take pride in what we feed our animals and the fact that our cattle have vast pastures and unlimited access to the outdoors. One thing that has not been discussed is the harvesting of the meat. As said above, when the meat is processed it is done without flavorings, colorings, preservatives or synthetic additives. All our meat is butchered at a USDA regulated facility.
