⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have done both pickup in Birmingham and home delivery, and both have been a great experience! We get ground beef always and then mix in some roasts, eggs, and so glad they have organs as well! You can really taste the difference with the quality, we are thankful that we can get their meat delivered
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice variety of items at the store and meat looks and tastes fresh and knowing that it doesn't have any added ingredients, raised as nature intended, is very reassuring and adds to the culinary experience. Shaded Grove Farm Market is very welcoming and hospitable.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great services, easy to order, and great tasting products!! Craig is always so helpful, honest, and responsive. Online order is easy and pick up location are convenient. The meat grass-fed tastes amazing and delicious.
1. **Nutritional Profile:** Grass-fed beef has a better nutritional profile. It contains more omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, along with higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins (like vitamin E), and minerals such as potassium, iron, and zinc.
2. **Lower Saturated Fat:** It contains less total fat and lower levels of unhealthy saturated fats compared to grain-fed beef. This can be beneficial for those looking to reduce their saturated fat intake.
3. **Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA):** Grass-fed beef has higher levels of CLA, a type of fat linked to various health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
4. **Environmental Impact:** Grass-fed beef has a smaller environmental footprint than grain-fed beef due to the reduced reliance on intensive, monoculture grain farming for feed. Regeneratively raised grass-fed beef sequesters carbon in the soil through carefully managed grazing and herding techniques.
5. **Animal Welfare:** Grass-fed cattle enjoy a life out on the open pastures breathing fresh air, and eating nutritious green grass as opposed to grain-fed cattle which are packed into feedlots with little space and contaminated air to breathe.
6. **Taste:** Grass-fed beef enthusiasts appreciate its distinct flavor, describing it as more robust than grain-fed beef's milder taste.
Unlike many large, corporate farms, we actually invite our customers to come out to our farm and see for themselves how we raise our livestock and care for the land.
We have an open-door policy and welcome any questions or concerns you may have. If there is anything we can do to help you in your quest for healthy pasture-raised protein choices for you and your family, we are here to help.
It shouldn't be difficult to access clean, wholesome food. If anywhere in your journey to find grass-fed beef or any other pasture-raised proteins you feel stuck, just give us a call, send us an email, or stop by and visit.
All the best,
Craig Schmidt
