Why not try our tender delicious chicken and beef at restaurants that serve Simply Grazin' meats. We are not the Stonyfield Farm that sells the yogurt and we do not distribute to any stores. This would not allow us to know our customers, and our customers to know us. AvailabilityBeef: available year round. Raised without the use of antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones or genetically modified organisms (GMO's). We try to process every month depending on supply and demand. Because our beef is 100% grass-fed and never, ever receive any grain, the Spring, Summer and Fall availability is more abundant than in the winter months. Processing is done at Bringhurst Meats in Berlin, NJ. Chicken: available year round.

What’s organic?Being organic means that we do not use any chemicals at all - on our fields or in or on our livestock. All the grain feed that needs to be used for the chickens and hogs is certified organic (produced without chemicals). The livestock may not be born in an organic environment but lives out its cycle in one. There’s more to it than that and we can inform you if needed; just let us know. What’s certified organic?Being certified organic means there is a third party that enforces the USDA’s organic code. Our certifying agency is the northeast organic farming association. Our farm id# is F157. For livestock to be certified they must be born on a certified farm. Chicken can be hatched at a hatchery but must begin their second day on organic feed. All of our chicken and eggs are certified. Most of our cattle are certified, although we buy some calves and some breed stock from local farms. There is no source of organic animals so we are breeding our own. There is definitely no grass based operations to buy from. What’s grass based?This is a philosophy. We believe in allowing the animals to do what God intended them to do. Ruminants are intended to eat only grass and ours do just that. If they are meant to eat a mix of grass and other forages, then that is what they get. They live a clean stress-free life while here, breathe clean fresh air, grow at the rate they would naturally with minimal interference from mankind.
