Mindful Meats is a mission-driven meat company that brings regional, organic, non-gmo, pasture raised beef from small family farms to markets. Their mission is to restore the health of America s meat market from the impact on the environment and the healthfulness of the meat. They work exclusively with pasture-based organic dairy producers in Marin and Sonoma counties to repurpose retired organic dairy cows. Organic dairy animals spend their full lives producing thousands of pounds of food per animal per year. Mindful Meats worked closely with the Non-GMO Project and the USDA to create the first labeling standards for Non-GMO Verified meat, poultry and seafood. This has opened the flood gates to allow producers to bring their organically, non-gmo products to market. All Mindful Meats beef is born, raised and harvested right here in Sonoma County. Page 9

The incredible flavor of Wild Idea Buffalo meat is the result of the animals lives being lived more naturally and without unnecessary human interference. Its clean, rich, slightly sweet taste has subtle notes of grass, sage, and they believe sunshine. Their humane prairie harvests ensure that our buffalo are not exposed to any undue stress that would spoil the flavor of this natural meat. Their buffalo are given respect, dignity, and care throughout their lives. They believe their buffalo tastes better because they are raised better! Wild Idea meat is lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than chicken or fish. It s higher in protein than beef. Their 100% native grass-fed meat delivers 3.5x more antioxidant omega-3 fatty acids than grainfed buffalo. Prairie restoration is vital to their mission. Their land and animal management practices are as close to nature s intentions as possible. By giving the buffalo room to roam, the Great Plains prairie is brought back to health. Page 11

All Marin Sun Farms branded meats are processed based on processes and values that support their mission. Marin Sun lambs are humanely raised and fed only mother s milk and the grass which they naturally graze. They are never given antibiotics or given growth hormones. Marin Sun Lambs are from the local California Foodshed. A Foodshed is a region where food flows, from the land where it was grown, the routes it travels for processing and the market it passes through until it reaches your kitchen. These lambs were born and raised on the beautiful grasslands and pastures from local family farms. Family Farms are the lifeblood of healthy and stable rural communities, nurturing natural resources and fostering ongoing sustainable farming practices. This premium eating quality is from animals raised according to the highest animal welfare and environmental standards. Page 13

Allen Shainsky was born into a family of egg farmers and developed his passion and respect for poultry at an early age. He founded Petaluma Poultry in 1969 and dedicated his life to growing chickens with the utmost care while being mindful of the land. In the 1980 s San Francisco Bay Area chefs challenged him to produce a chicken that had the old-fashioned chicken flavor reminiscent of their culinary training in Europe. Shainsky spent months in France researching poultry husbandry and returned to implement back to basics growing techniques. This included an all vegetarian diet with no animal by-products, no antibiotics, no artificial hormones or steroids and a change in the animal s environment that allowed them more room to roam naturally. Because of this, the ROCKY brand became one of the first free range chickens that satisfied chefs as well as a growing consumer base that wanted healthy, tasty birds while leaving a small environmental footprint. Petaluma Poultry started organic protocols 10 years before the USDA allowed meat and poultry to be labeled organic. They fought to establish a defined organic certification program to help clear up the confusion in the marketplace. Thus, in 1999 the ROSIE brand became the first third party certified organic chicken on the market to earn the USDA Organic seal. Page 17

Coleman Natural selects only the best breeds raised to their exact protocols with 100% vegetarian diets and no animal by-products. They never use antibiotics or growth hormones. Their animals are allowed to grow at their natural pace in a comfortable stress-free environment, with room to roam and continuous access to food and water. Pork is an excellent source of thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, phosphorus and protein, and a good source of zinc and potassium. Many cuts of pork are as lean or leaner than chicken. Pork shouldn t be overcooked. The best test of doneness is to use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your pork. We recommend cooking pork chops, roasts and tenderloins to 160 F, which leaves the center pink and juicy. Less tender cuts, like pork shoulder (butt) and ribs can be cooked long and slow, to render them tender. Page 21

Growing global demand for seafood is depleting fish populations around the world and threatening the health of our oceans.with nearly 76% of the world s fisheries fully fished or overfished, scientists are worried that the oceans cannot keep up with the growing demand. Other environmental impacts are also taking a toll: unintended catch of sea turtles, seabirds, marine mammals and other sea life; seafloor damage from some types of fishing gear; pollution and marine debris; and loss of coastal wetlands to create fish farms. The good news is that environmentally friendly fisheries and fish farms do exist, and they deserve your support. Restaurants, retailers and other businesses have an important role in supporting the health of the oceans. You can use your purchasing power to buy and demand seafood that is caught or farmed in an environmentally responsible way. E BL INA A T SUS Seafood in this category is well managed, abundant and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways. E BL INA A T SUS These items are an option, but there are concerns with how they re caught or farmed - or with the health of their habitat due to other human impacts. E BL NA TAI S U S Take a pass on these items for now. They are caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine life or the environment. Page 27
