Is Pure Bred Organic?
No, in order to be called organic, we would have to seek certification by a third party. We do not use hormones or antibiotics in the feed, nor are our animals or feed exposed to pesticides. Pure Bred is holistic, which is our standard. Holistic goes beyond whether chemicals are employed to full accountability to every detail of how our lambs are cared for throughout their lives and up until they reach your family’s table. We are able to track individual animals from ewe to you. Please see Why Holistic on our philosophy page to learn more about the process. We have excellent relationships with our local feed growers as part of the holistic system. We engaged these partners because of their commitment to being good stewards of the land and for the quality, nutritious feed they provide our flock. They don’t use pesticides, and we stand by their responsible farming process, but we do not require them to be certified organic.
