We're Not Certified Organic But Our Standards & Practices Are
Customers sometimes ask us if our all-natural beef is organic. While our practices adhere to organic standards - no antibiotics or hormones, non GMO, no pesticides, sustainable practices - Heartstone Farm's beef is not certified organic which is a USDA-regulated term.
In order to label beef "organic," farmers need to complete a certification process which can take up to three years. In addition, a USDA National Organic Program authorized certifying agent needs to oversee the farm and its practices to ensure it meets all USDA organic regulations.
Heartstone Farm is committed to raising the healthiest meat possible that you and your family can trust. Our animals are able to graze on wide open pasture, breathing in the fresh air of Maine. We raise our animals with no antibiotics, no vaccines or growth hormones. The animals grow naturally, as nature intended. Remember you are what you eat so clean, nutrient dense meat contributes to a healthy diet for you. Thank you for supporting sustainable agriculture and a healthy way forward for farming.
We invite you to enjoy this video tour of the Heartstone Farm with Farmer Dan to see for yourself the care and commitment that goes into raising animals right.
