5TH GENERATION TEXAS FARM AWARDED TOP ANIMAL WELFARE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
--Local father-daughter team bring family-farmed, sustainable, high-welfare beef to Paleo/Primal eaters--
ROCKWALL, TX (FEBRUARY 25)--The herd of beef cattle at Lamb's Farm is now certified as Animal Welfare Approved. This certification and food label lets consumers know these animals are raised in accordance with the highest animal welfare standards in the U.S. and Canada, using sustainable agriculture methods on an independent family farm.
Farmer Rex Lamb is a fifth generation farmer--his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents all played a part in growing and sustaining Lamb's Farm. In a new twist on the family tradition, his daughter Amy Lamb Herrin developed Farm2Cave, a weekly meal plan, grocery guide, and online ordering service for families following a Paleo/Primal diet. Marketing the family's high quality beef through the Farm2Cave brand was a natural extension of the Lamb family legacy and Amy's focus on the health benefits of pastured-raised beef, and Farm2Cave Grass Fed Beef began.
Like other AWA farmers across the country, the Lambs recognize the growing consumer interest in how animals are raised on farms. Managing animals outdoors on pasture or range has known benefits for animals, consumers and the environment. The Lambs raise Black Angus Cattle, which are well suited to the farm and its seasons. The 250-acre farm offers high-quality grazing and natural shelter, with plenty of open spaces for socialization. The cattle's health and wellbeing comes first and foremost, and is considered daily. "From newborn to mature, the cattle are carefully monitored to ensure utmost health," says Lamb Herrin. "It is comforting to know their lives are stress-free and healthy." Certified AWA Farm2Cave Grass Fed Beef is dry aged 14-21 days to maximize flavor and texture, with vacuum packaging to ensure freshness for customers.
As the only high welfare and truly pastured-based certification, the Lambs felt AWA was a great fit for their farm: "We are excited to be included in a group of like-minded individuals who care about the treatment of their animals," says Lamb Herrin. "We hope to continue to raise awareness of the wide-ranging benefits of high-welfare management and spread the word about Farm2Cave."
AWA Program Director Andrew Gunther says, "The accountability and integrity offered by Certified-AWA farmers like Rex and Amy are unmatched in food production. We're glad to have Lamb's Farm in the AWA family."
Certified AWA Farm2Cave Grass Fed Beef is available for weekly delivery in the Rockwall area, as well as at various local retail locations. For more information about the farm--or to place an order--contact Amy at [email protected], visit the website at www.farm2cave.com, or follow their page.
