When a farmer or rancher signs the GrassFedSource Pledge, they're putting their name behind three commitments.
Be honest.
How we raise our animals.
We'll give you an honest picture of how our animals are raised and what they eat, from pasture to finish.
If our animals are grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised, or raised using other practices, we'll say so plainly. And if something doesn't fit the label, we won't try to hide it behind vague language.
You deserve to know what you're buying.
Care for our animals.
How we treat them throughout their lives.
We commit to treating our animals with care and respect throughout their lives.
That means providing appropriate food, water, shelter, space, and care, and taking responsibility for their well-being from the time they're born until they're harvested.
Good food starts with good stewardship.
Keep it current.
How we make sure our information stays true.
Farms change. Practices change. What was true a few years ago may not be true today.
If the way we raise or feed our animals changes in a meaningful way, we'll update our GrassFedSource profile so customers aren't relying on outdated information.
What you find on GrassFedSource should reflect what we're doing on the farm today.
What "Verified" means
A Verified GrassFedSource supplier has personally signed the GrassFedSource Pledge and agreed to keep their profile information truthful and current.
GrassFedSource does not independently inspect or certify farms. Verification means the farmer has made these commitments publicly and is willing to stand behind the information they provide.
