Pleasant Valley Beef was recently featured in the Catalyst Magazine published in Salt Lake City.
“…documentaries such as Food Inc. and books such as The Omnivore’s Dilemma have pulled back the curtain on industrial food production. And guess what?—it’s not pretty. Mega-farms that produce the vast majority of our meat products are huge polluters of the soil, water and air. Animals on these farms suffer through outrageous living conditions, with chickens that can’t spread their wings, pigs that can’t turn around and cattle that are fattened on a diet of illness-inducing grains. The rampant use of hormones, antibiotics only adds to the list of mega-farms’ offenses. We pay another environmental tax to have these food products travel an average of 1,500 miles to sit on our plates.
“Thankfully, the desire to “buy local” is becoming increasingly common as people are more informed about where their food comes from—after all, if you know where it comes from, you know how it was raised or grown and the impacts it has on your local environment.”
