The GrassFedSource Pledge

Better food starts with better practices.

We believe animals should be raised in ways that respect what they were meant to eat and how they were meant to live. Grass-fed and pasture-based agriculture can support healthier animals, healthier soils, and a more natural relationship between livestock and the land. We believe people deserve the opportunity to support those practices through the food they buy.

We support raising animals on their natural diet.

We believe livestock should have access to the foods they evolved to eat. For cattle, that means grass and forage should be at the heart of how they are fed and raised. We support producers who allow cattle to spend meaningful time grazing pasture and who use grass-based practices throughout the animal's life.

We support responsible stewardship.

We believe good food begins with responsible care for animals and the land. We support practices that respect animal welfare, protect the land, and recognize that healthy soil, healthy animals, and healthy food are connected.

We support transparency.

People should be able to understand how their food was raised and where it came from. We believe grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised, and similar claims should have real meaning behind them. We support clear, truthful descriptions that help people make informed choices.

We support farmers and food businesses doing it right.

Whether we raise animals, source food, or serve it to our customers, we believe we have a role to play in supporting better food practices.
