What It Means To Be Grass-Fed

The Grass-Fed Difference

Being grass-fed means sourcing from farmers that represent the highest industry standards of quality, animal welfare, environmental consciousness, and taste.

The quality of treatment results in the nutrient-rich milk with a taste that is rich and more desirable than other similar products.

 

A Nutritious Diet

Grass-fed cows receive carefully balanced diets designed to support their health, comfort, and natural behavior. Their feed typically includes grasses, forages, and other nutrients that provide the nutrition they need throughout the year. Farmers work with veterinarians and nutrition specialists to ensure cows always have access to high-quality feed and fresh water.

 

Compassionately Treated

Our suppliers monitor important factors like milk quality and cow health in real time, ensuring animal welfare is always a priority. Plus, our whey is processed in world-class facilities that meet the highest manufacturing standards, ensuring consistency and quality in every batch.

No Unnecessary Treatments

If a cow gets sick and requires an antibiotic because of the sickness, then the cow will be administered an antibiotic and its milk is removed from the supply. After the cow recovers from the illness and its milk is cleared of any antibiotics, it returns to life as normal and its milk is added back to the supply.

The cows are also rBST-free and are never given any growth hormones or milk-producing hormones. A dedicated veterinarian guides all suppliers on aspects of animal health and welfare.

 

Comfortable Living

Grass-fed cows live how nature intended: outside and free to roam!

Our farms follow programs such as the FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) Animal Care Program, which sets standards for responsible dairy farming and animal welfare. These standards require proper nutrition, regular health monitoring, comfortable housing, and environments where cows can move, rest, and access feed and water safely.

In addition to being able to roam, farmers carefully manage housing conditions such as ventilation, bedding, and temperature to keep cows comfortable throughout the year. These practices help ensure cows remain healthy and well cared for at every stage of production.

 

Sustainability

Our suppliers are dedicated to reducing their environmental footprint. Advances in farming practices, animal care, and resource management have helped reduce land, water, and overall environmental impact while improving how milk is produced. Ongoing innovation across the industry continues to focus on lowering emissions and reducing waste to support a more sustainable future.
