Does U.S. Wellness Meats adhere to sustainable farming practices?
Yes. With a 30 to 45-day rest period between grazing, we increase the density of existing plants in our pastures and allow for the re-introduction of new native plants. As a result, all of our grassland is deeply rooted, and this better root structure and thicker sod enables the landscape to catch and hold nearly all of the rain that hits it, resulting in virtually no soil erosion or flooding. In the most recent local floods, our neighbors’ fields suffered erosion and, in extreme cases, were underwater, while ours were able to absorb the excess water. Finally, this sustainable eco-system is a natural carbon recycler: the carbon our animals produce is reused by our plant life for further growth.
