Pasture Raised

These animals had real access to the outdoors and open pasture. Pasture raised doesn't necessarily mean grass fed — some are grain finished — but it does mean they lived the way animals are meant to live, with space to move and fresh air.

Research shows that pasture-raised meat tends to be higher in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin A, and lower in total fat than meat from conventionally raised animals. The more time an animal spends foraging on pasture, the more those benefits show up in the meat.
