💡 Sustainable farming ➡️
✅ Better for the animals
✅ Better for human health and community
✅ Better for the environment
✅ Better for the business and industry
💡 You are what you eat ate ➡️
🥩 Whether it’s what livestock animals are fed when raised (e.g. grass and pasture, or grain/corn/soy - see ‘plants’ below)
🥗 Whether it’s what cropped plants take in through the soil and water (e.g. pest control chemicals, cleaning agents)
Our Cow
We get asked a lot what makes Our Cow meat any different from the meat available at your local butcher, or even the ‘organic’ meat available at the supermarket. It’s a good question! Is it worth parting with your hard earned cash to try a meat delivery service, when you have other, more traditional options available to you?
My answer is simple - Our Cow meat is better; it’s better for you & your health, it’s better for the animal, it’s better for Aussie farmers, and it’s better for the environment.
But what does that mean?
Remember that saying “you are what you eat”? Well, it’s true and it guides us in who we choose to work with and how we find the best quality produce available in Australia today.
Many cattle, lambs and other animals are fed a grain-only diet as it’s cheaper and requires less land for the animal to graze. But, eating only grain (especially corn and soy) is unnatural for animals. It makes them more susceptible to bacteria and disease - which leads to long-term antibiotic use - all causing ill health and stress to the animal, and affecting the quality, taste & nutritional value of the meat you eat. If it’s been in the animal’s body, it’s going into your body when you eat their meat. It’s as simple as that.
An animal that eats grass only, is produced naturally with lots of access to clean spring water and roaming freely, is healthier, leaner and happier. Grass-fed animals produce antioxidants that help reduce and slow damage to our cells, and their meat is higher in omega 3 fatty acids, which gives us energy and are vital for good health.
How an animal is raised, what they eat and what their environment is like, makes a huge difference to the life of that animal, the quality of the meat they produce, and the impact it has on you when you eat it.
I couldn’t tell you how many hours and km’s Bianca & I have spent researching, finding and meeting with Aussie farmers all over the country, analysing their farming environment & practices, and hand-selecting the farmers we now work with today. We put the time and effort in because we can personally guarantee the quality of their produce and how their animals have been raised & treated.
And these things make a difference - to you, your family, and to our environment. It also means we can support our Aussie farmers who are putting in the hard yards to raise organic, grass-fed animals the right way - and it’s bloody tough work, let me tell you!
That’s why I can put hand on heart and proudly say Our Cow meat is better. But don’t just take my word for it - give it a try and tell us what you think (we even offer a money back guarantee if you don’t like it!)
