EcoYumYum and its Local Family of Farms are committed to educating the public that 100% Grass Fed Beef is beneficial to the consumer, the environment, the local economy and the cow itself.

Grass Fed animals are raised from birth to market on local family farms. These animals diet consists of freshly grazed pasture during the warm seasons and stored hay during colder seasons or dry conditions.

The vast majority of beef purchased at grocery stores and consumed by the general public are what we in the industry call "finished" in “feedlots”. Feedlot animals are raised on pasture for the first few months of their lives and then transported to distant feedlots where they are finished. Feedlot animals are fed corn or grain which is not part of their natural diet. They are also fed a variety of feed additives and drugs to speed their production and to minimize health problems that come from eating artificial diets, living in stressful and crowded conditions.

Even most organic meat is finished on grain and often in feedlots.

People who are concerned about what they eat and the environment typically buy Organically Certified Beef Products. These products are better than conventional beef products. Organic beef is free from antibiotics, artificial hormones, and pesticides. Unfortunately, many Organic Beef Producers raise their animals in confinement, feed them grain and other feedstuffs, not the natural diet of fresh forages (grasses). Feeding large amounts of grain to beef producing animals compromises their health and reduces the nutritional value of the beef, whether the grain is grown organically or conventionally.

EcoYumYum: Health Benefits

Researchers have shown that beef from grass fed animals is lower in calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, and has up to one-third less fat when compared to a similar cut from grain fed animals. Grass Fed Beef also has more vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and a number of health-promoting fats, including omega-3 fatty acids and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). CLA has been shown to suppress cancerous tumours and moderate body weight, body composition, glucose metabolism and the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to significantly reduce triglyceride levels in the blood and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
