(M)EAT FOR HEALTH
ANIMALS THAT ARE RAISED ON OPEN PASTURES ARE JUST PLAIN BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH. IT’S A FACT.
That’s why at Belcampo Farms we raise animals the natural way. Slowly, at their pace, in wide open pastures. We create a darn good life for our animals. That healthy, natural life means our meat is chock full of organic nutrition. So when it makes it to your table—that naturally nutritious meat is more delicious and makes you healthier, too. The way it was meant to be.
WHY IS BELCAMPO SO GOOD FOR YOU?
Compared to conventionally kept animals, Belcampo’s animals are raised on pastures where they roam and graze, naturally. The health benefits abound in meat from animals raised in the humane way—the only way we’d have it.
All our meats are independently tested for purity and nutritional data—we post the updated reports every quarter directly to our website to offer you full transparency here.
Our meats are:
- Certified Organic
- Grass-Fed & Finished
- Certified Humane
- Pasture-Raised
Which results in these great benefits:
Pasture-raised free range meat is lower in total fat and contains more ‘good’ fats and less ‘bad’ fats. Win!
Omega-3 fatty acid has been shown to lower the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Our red meat has the same ratio of Omega-3:6 as wild game meat!
Alpha and conjugated linoleic acids are proven cancer fighters.
Calcium, magnesium, and potassium are more present in pasture-raised animals.
Compared to non-free-range meat, Belcampo is higher in vitamins C, B, and E.
All our meats are 3rd party tested for Omega 3:6 ratio, achieving an average of 1:1.2 compared to 1:25 for animals not fed their whole lives on grass. You can download our 3rd party tested data (updated every quarter). Read our Beef & Chicken bone broth results here. Read our Pork & Lamb results results here. Belcampo's beef has the same Omega 3:6 range you will find in wild game.
