CERTIFICATIONS

Richards Grassfed Beef is certified by the American Grassfed Association and is the first beef company on the west coast to receive the Savory Institute's Ecological Outcome Verified certificate.  

After many years with the American Grassfed Association, our company has taken on another certification that, like the AGA aligns with what we believe as a company:   The Savory Institutes “Land to Market” Program.  A key component of the program is the Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV), an empirical and scalable soil and landscape assessment methodology that tracks positive outcomes in biodiversity, soil health, and ecosystem function, such as water infiltration and carbon absorption. EOV enables consumers to identify food items derived from livestock managed through practices verified to enhance water, soil and climate.  Our ranches are thrilled to be a part of this program and have already started to see the impact on the landscape.

We are proud to be showing the AGA & EOV labels on our products, assuring our customers that we re 100% grass fed, grass finished, ranching regeneratively and striving to improve soil health for years to come!

QUALITY CARE

Our mission is to provide the highest quality grass fed beef to our customers and do so in the most transparent and sustainable way possible. Our animals are never fed grain, corn products, given antibiotics or growth hormones. Richards Grassfed Beef ranches are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our animals to reduce stress and ensure proper care and feeding:

• Cattle are grass-fed and grass-finished
• Cattle are born and raised on our family ranches
• Cattle graze on thousands of acres of lush, green, natural grasses
• Cattle are part of a holistic grazing system
• Pastures are never artificially fertilized
• Cattle are never fed hormones or antibiotics
• Cattle are not taken to feedlots to be “finished,” – they fatten on natural grass

HEALTH BENEFITS

Grass fed beef is high in beta-carotene, Vitamin E & B, essential Omega 3 fatty acids, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), and Trans Vaccenic Acid (TVA). Because grass fed animals are naturally leaner, the beef is also lower in cholesterol and calories than commercially raised corn fed beef. Eating grass fed beef is the right decision for your health & the health of your family!
