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
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.

This Grass-Finished Beef is Certified Humane, a designation that is supported by the ASPCA, as well as more than 66 Animal Welfare Organizations.
