Beef

We partner with a network of small regenerative farms that raise cattle as nature intended. This approach produces beef with lower toxin levels, higher nutrient density, a more natural fat composition, and superior taste—better for both you and the environment.

1. 100% Grass-Fed, No Fatty-Acid Manipulation
2. Free-Range on Pasture, Not Confined
3. Regenerative Rotational Grazing
4. Superior Nutrient Profile
5. Needle-Free Production

1. 100% Grass-Fed, No Fatty-Acid Manipulation

The cattle graze exclusively on lush pastures, following the natural diet of wild ruminants. Unlike conventional practices, we never use grain feed, which introduces several issues:

Phytoestrogens and pesticides from grain and distiller grains increase your exposure to endocrine-disrupting compounds
Grain feeding artificially alters fat composition, creating much fattier meat than what humans historically consumed
This approach increases harmful Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA) content while decreasing beneficial saturated fats

Our approach delivers on the Nourish Promise LowPs™ standard—meat naturally low in PUFAs, phytoestrogens, and pesticides, with its fatty acid profile exactly as nature intended.

During winter when pastures are dormant or snow-covered, our farmers feed only chemical-free hay grown on their own farms or sourced from approved locations. This ensures the cattle continue receiving clean, nutrient-rich forage year-round, maintaining optimal health even in colder months.

2. Free-Range on Pasture, Not Confined

The cattle roam freely on open pastures, enjoying the freedom to express natural behaviors and exercise, abundant sunshine and fresh air, a grounding connection to the earth, and clean living conditions.

This stands in stark contrast to feedlot operations, where confined conditions necessitate numerous interventions including insecticides for fly control, dewormers for parasite management, extensive vaccination programs, routine antibiotics contributing to antibiotic resistance concerns, and rodenticides and other various pest control chemicals.

3. Regenerative Rotational Grazing

Our farm partners practice regenerative rotational grazing, a method where cattle are regularly moved to fresh sections of pasture while previously grazed areas recover. This approach mimics how wild herds naturally move across landscapes and offers numerous environmental benefits:

Enhanced soil health and fertility
Increased biodiversity in grass species and soil microbiome
Improved carbon and water cycles
Reduced parasite exposure
Enhanced nutrient density in the final product

Unlike continuous grazing that keeps animals in the same pasture for extended periods—leading to overgrazing and soil depletion—this approach creates a virtuous cycle. The cattle briefly intensively graze one area, then move on, allowing plants to fully recover and regrow. This results in healthier soil, more nutritious and diverse forage, healthier animals, and ultimately more nutritious meat.

4. Superior Nutrient Profile

Regeneratively-raised beef offers exceptional nutrition beyond just more vitamins and minerals compared to feedlot beef—it's also rich in beneficial phytochemicals, naturally occurring plant compounds with numerous health benefits. Terpenoids provide anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-carcinogenic properties, while polyphenols protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, supporting immune function and gut health.

Rotationally grazed cattle access a much wider variety of plant species than those in continuous grazing systems or feedlots. Each plant contributes unique phytochemicals that accumulate in the cattle's tissues and transfer to the meat. Grain-fed feedlot cattle receive virtually none of these beneficial compounds, while continuously grazed cattle access significantly fewer plant varieties. These natural plant compounds not only benefit your health but are directly responsible for the superior flavor that distinguishes truly regenerative, grass-fed beef.

While plant foods contain higher concentrations of phytochemicals, the contribution from pasture-raised meat shouldn't be underestimated. Our phytochemically-rich beef provides beneficial compounds from plant varieties not typically consumed directly by humans.

5. Needle-Free Production

The cattle at our partner farms thrive without pharmaceutical interventions because they're raised in optimal conditions: fresh pasture, clean air, regular rotation to new grass, and minimal waste exposure. This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines, hormones, and dewormers that industrial agriculture depends on. In the rare case an animal requires medical treatment to keep it alive, it's removed from our Nourish production line.

By prioritizing regenerative practices, our farmers cultivate natural resilience in their herds. Diverse pastures provide natural compounds supporting immune function, regular movement minimizes parasite exposure, and freedom from confinement eliminates health-compromising stress. This approach creates a system where pharmaceutical interventions become unnecessary rather than merely prohibited.

The result is beef free from medication residues, from animals that have lived in genuine health and harmony with their environment—pure, wholesome meat, just as nature intended.
