Why choose All-Natural, Grass Fed Beef?
Here at Sebago Lake Ranch we do not use any form of growth hormones, or feeds with antibiotics. Our cows all graze on lush Maine pastures throughout the spring and into the early winter months. They are then supplemented with our farm raised hay during the winter when grazing through the snow isn't possible. They get to live outdoors, eating from nature's 'salad bar' on a daily basis. This makes for happy cows and a healthier product. Also, check our blog above for information on our special mention in Maine. magazine on locally sourced meats!

According to many sources and also an article featured in MOTHER EARTH NEWS, grass fed is "better for the environment than crowding cattle onto feedlots, which causes serious problems with air and water quality." Unfortunately, what we're suddenly becoming more attuned to is another point Jo Robinson makes about feeding cattle corn: "This unnatural grain-based diet is producing toxic E.coli bacteria." Jo Robinson wrote Why Grass Fed is Best in 2000 explaining the many health benefits of grass fed beef.

Learn more about the benefits of pastured raised meats and eggs. We highly recommend the book Pasture Perfect by Jo Robinson. It goes into great detail about all the health benefits of a healthier animal and healthier you in addition to offering a great section of recipes to try!
