The mission of meat suppliers, PA is to connect
families to the possibility of achieving a healthy diet with their local
products. It has an old-fashioned feel that carries meats from animals raised
on small, local, sustainable farms and offers four unbeatable facts:
1. Meat
is raised locally: Organic farm productsin Pennsylvania will offer only premium products from local farmers who
have raised their animals on either a primarily grass-based diet or in an
organic manner as well as other dairy products and locally-grown vegetables.
2. Animals are treated humanely: These animals
live natural stress-free lives, never treated with antibiotics, hormones, or
fed animal-by-products and therefore produce healthy, great-tasting meat, milk
and eggs. Their diets are GMO-free, and the grasses are never sprayed with
pesticides pastured beef of all beefcuts in Pennsylvania is abundantly marbled ensuring a tender texture and a
deep, rich flavor. By working in partnership with local farmers we guarantee
our rigorous standards are always carefully maintained.
3. Meat offers health benefits: Pastured
meat from meat suppliers, PA is; lower in total fat with more “good” fats and
fewer “bad” fat, higher in beta-carotene, higher in vitamin E
(alpha-tocopherol), in the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin, also higher in
the minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium, higher in total omega-3s, has a
healthier ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (1.65 vs. 4.84), higher in
CLA (cis-9 trans-11), a potential cancer fighter, higher in vaccine acid (which
can be transformed into CLA), and lower in the saturated fats linked with heart
disease, free of hormones, antibiotics or other drugs.
4. Business
is good for the environment: commitment supports local farmers and minimizes
environmental impact. Industrial farming requires transportation, processing,
packaging and fossil fuel usage that puts tremendous stress on the environment.
For example, between production and transportation, growing 10% more produce
for local consumption in Iowa would result in an annual savings ranging from
280,000 to 346,000 gallons of fuel, and an annual reduction in CO2 emissions
ranging from 6.7 to 7.9 million pounds.
