1 The Kosher Marketplace Specialty Meats & Poultry Beef Chicken Turkey Veal Lamb Duck

2 Under Alan s expert supervision, the KMP has been able to make numerous agreements with small family farms which espouse a philosophy equal to ours and have unrivaled products. This philosophy includes the following bedrock principles: All animals must be treated humanely, from birth through the shechita process. Animals, including their feed, must be free of antibiotics, hormones & steroids, and all feed must be free of animal byproducts.(*pg.12) All end products must be of exceptional quality with the highest caliber nutritional content, appearance, marbling, tenderness &, of course, taste. All farms must be regularly inspected to ensure that they are in compliance with all criteria listed here. All farms must be family-run and, wherever possible, local. All farms must have a strong ethos of sustainability, as well as demonstrated practices in support of such convictions. A detailed land management plan must be in place, such that all terrain is demonstrably untreated with harmful herbicides or pesticides and allowed time to revitalize through documented pasture rotation programs. 2 Our Mission Statement Our goal, at all times, is to provide you, our wonderful customers, with the greatest service, selection and customer experience in the procurement of gourmet specialty kosher food products. We guarantee that all our specialty meats & poultry are humanely-raised in an environmentally conscious manner by family farmers who care about the health and welfare of their animals, their end customers and the environment. Every step is taken, and will be taken, to ensure that these products are safely delivered to you at the highest possible quality and point of freshness with the most minimal impact to our beautiful Earth. And please remember we guarantee it!

3 THE SEMINAL IMPORTANCE OF SMALL FAMILY FARMS At The Kosher Marketplace, we understand the great importance that small family farms play in our food chain. Farming families are highly responsible and concerned stewards of the land and, unlike industrial farms, don t pollute their communities with chemical pesticides or harmful fumes. Farming families generally live on or near their farms and, as a result, tend to be very interwoven components of their local communities. As a result, they endeavor to protect their farms health and beauty not only for today but for future generations as well. Family farmers care about the health and well-being of their animals and, as a result, foster conditions which are low-stress, humane and allow for the healthful upbringing of these animals without antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Not only is this quite obviously the correct ethical and moral choice, it is imperative for our health and well-being. Factory-farmed animals are not only subject to antibiotics, hormones & steroids directly but also through their food, which is often treated with noxious synthetics, 4 arsenical drugs, rendered animal carcasses and other ingredients that may lead to the introduction of harmful contaminants into our food supply. The damage to humans from such activities has been well-documented in several ways, from the unnecessary onset of disease to the rise of so-called antibiotic resistant superbugs. Family farmers additionally maintain beautiful spaces on which animals can play, graze and socialize in ways that have been critical to animals proper development throughout history, as well as the lore and beauty of the United States. Don t we all remember from our childhood that beautiful, peaceful drive on America s back roads, through the country s farming & pastureland communities? Well while family farmers are around & successful, no large company can take these lands and turn them into industrial wastelands. In turn these communities maintain a real fabric and authenticity, with the farmers providing a willing market for local community goods and services - another huge bonus for the environment! 5

4 Specialty Beef Our Signature Beef Certified Humane U.S. Pasture-Raised, 100% Grass-Fed & Antibiotic-Free Black Angus Beef Our American-Born & Raised 100% Grass-Fed Beef comes from Black Angus Cattle that roam their entire lives on open mid-western pasturelands eating exclusively a diet of fresh grasses and plants. The ranchers who raise these cattle take great care to manage their lands in environmentally responsible ways and have fully committed to sustainable farming practices. Pasture rotation programs allow for a day rest period between grazing. This traditional method of grazing mimics how herds grazed in North America for centuries. The animals are treated humanely, raised in low-stress environments and never subjected to hormones, steroids or antibiotics for any reason. This Grass-Finished Beef is Certified Humane, a designation that is supported by the ASPCA, as well as more than 66 Animal Welfare Organizations. Our beef cattle are never fed animal by-products or grain-based feeds and graze on pastures that have been free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides for a minimum of three years. This beef is exceptionally low in calories, fat & cholesterol but quite rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids & antioxidants. Our Certified Humane & 100% Grass-Fed American Beef is always fresh, never frozen, and is the most prized currently on the market. Prime cuts of this phenomenal product are available. Further information may be found here: We Proudly Guarantee Your Complete Satisfaction Each & Every Day! 6 7

5 Our Organic Pasture-Raised, 100% Grass-Fed & Antibiotic-Free Black Angus Beef Leaner in composition than its American counterpart above, this specialty beef is flown-in fresh directly from Uruguay. This beef comes from Black Angus cattle which are born and raised on small family farms, all of which are independently certified Organic by the USDA. Further all cattle are subject to a comprehensive tracking and traceability program to ensure proper recordkeeping and humane treatment of all animals. These cattle roam freely on open pastures throughout their entire lives, living off the land and eating a 100% grass & forage diet. This terrain is never treated with synthetic herbicides or pesticides. Further these cattle are never, ever given any antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Our U.S. Born & Raised Antibiotic-Free Premium Black Angus Beef These Black Angus cattle are born on small family farms in the USA & humanely raised in low-stress environments. They are exclusively fed a 100% vegetarian diet & never, ever given any antibiotics, hormones or steroids. All farmers are extremely conscious of sustainability and every effort is made to raise these animals in an environmentally conscious manner. This beef is always fresh, never frozen. It is delightfully tender & juicy - with premier marbling, consistency & flavor. USDA Certified Prime cuts are available. It should be noted that less than 2% of American beef is USDA Certified Prime. This beef is exceptionally low in calories, fat & cholesterol but quite rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids & antioxidants. 8 9

6 Specialty Lamb & Veal U.S. Born & Raised Grass-Fed & Antibiotic-Free Premium Lamb These lamb are born & raised on small family farms in the USA. All farmers have made a full commitment to sustainable farming practices. These lamb are never, ever given any antibiotics, hormones or steroids. They are pasture-raised & grain-finished on lands that are free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. All cuts are always fresh, never frozen, & hand-selected for rich marbling, exceptional tenderness & high-quality flavor. U.S. Born & Raised Antibiotic-Free Wagyu Beef A cclaimed as the world s finest qualitative beef, these Wagyu cattle have a pedigree which hails from Japan s Hyôgo Prefecture, the home of the legendary Kobe Beef. These Wagyu cattle are exclusively fed a 100% vegetarian diet & never, ever given any antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Tender, tasty and luscious, this beef is more marbled and richer than even USDA Certified Prime Beef, with a succulence that is the perfect match for even the most discerning of palates

7 U.S. Born & Raised Premium Milk-Fed Veal These calves are born & raised on small family farms in the USA & fully traceable. All farmers have made a full commitment to sustainable farming practices. These calves are never tethered or crated. They are raised humanely in small groups of 4 or 5 for socialization, with space to play & recreate easily. These calves are milk-fed & no hormones or steroids are ever administered to them.* This veal is always fresh, never frozen, and offers incredible flavor, tender texture & consistent quality of the finest magnitude - think of it as a lightertasting beef delicacy! (From pgs. 2, 3) *On accasion antibioitics may be administered to our veal calves solely with a veterinary prescription. Premium Chickens & Turkeys Free-Roaming, Antibiotic-Free Premium Chickens & Turkeys This is our conventional category of chicken and turkey but, as you will soon see, there is nothing regular about these birds. All chickens and turkeys are raised humanely, in low-stress environments, on small, local family farms. These chickens and turkeys are never, ever caged but rather roam about freely within large houses. All farms are independently monitored for animal welfare and environmental consciousness. Any farm that does not maintain an exemplary rating is dropped from our program. These chickens and turkeys are only fed a 100% vegetarian diet and are never, ever treated with antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. They are always fresh, never frozen. These farms have won multiple awards for best-tasting poultry in the USA

8 USDA Certified Organic, Free-Range & Antibiotic-Free Chickens & Turkeys Our organic line of chickens and turkeys are locally raised on small family farms in rural Pennsylvania and never, ever caged. These farms are part of a landscape of rolling hills in an area of great natural beauty. All birds are allowed to free-roam and have unfettered access to beautiful outside pastures with green timothy and orchard grasses abundantly present. No pesticides or herbicides are ever in use on these farms. In addition these farms are subject to consistent, rigorous inspections. These birds are only fed a 100% certified organic vegetarian diet (GMO free) and are never, ever treated with antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. They have a wonderful flavor profile and are delicious in every preparation. Free-Range & Antibiotic-Free Ducklings Our Pekin (please see below) ducklings are humanely raised in upstate New York by dedicated family farmers and never, ever caged. These ducklings are allowed to free-roam and have unfettered access to green pastures which are never treated with pesticides or herbicides. These happy ducklings are only fed a 100% vegetarian diet and are never, ever given antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. The American Pekin duckling is widely prized for its extremely tasty & tender meat. While many types of ducklings have, over time, become leaner with a much less robust flavor profile, these Pekin ducklings, direct descendants of the original immigrant Pekins of the 1870 s from China, continue to possess the full-bodied flavor & versatile fat profile generally prized in specialty, artisanal duckling meat
