FARMERS

Only family farms can earn our seal. Families who own the animals, participates in the day to day physical labor to manage the farm operation and its animals, and derive a share of their livelihood from that farm have a true commitment and connection to their animals that is lost on factory farms managed by distant, corporate owners and run by hired hands. We strive to revitalize a culture of independent family farms, in which a humane ethic can be passed on to future generations.
