Introduction to Locally Available Grass Fed Pastured Organically Raised Ground Beef

Organically raised Ground Beef are from cows that are raised in grass rather than in barns. Also organically raised ground beef from cows are fed grains instead. With organically raised ground beef the cows live in an open grass field where they are free to roam around and not concentrated in one area like cows rose in barns. Unlike cows that are raised in barns, cows that are raised in the open grass field that is their natural habitat, which leads to a richer diet. Also absolutely no hormones are introduced into their diet. However the ground beef that you find in the supermarkets are injected with a great deal of hormones. It is a threat to the human body to consume a great deal of hormones because it can lead to different diseases in a human body stomach. Therefore it is better to eat organically raised ground beef rather than the beef found at your local supermarket because first of all of the amount of hormones found in each, and second of all, organically raised ground beef is healthier and richer to consume. Organically raised beef is available in the Farmer’s Market on 14^th street Union Square in Manhattan. For further information contact, the Hawthorne Valley Farm at (518) 672-7500. Organically raised ground beef is produced by Biodynamic Farming, which states that fertilizers, pesticides and hormones, are avoided.
