Pastured
Raised. What Does Pasture Raised Offer? The Pasture Raised portal
allows private members daily access to some of the highest quality, un-pasteurized
dairy from grass-fed cows, goats, sheep and camel.
Members also gain access to completely fresh, unfrozen pasture-raised meats of
all kinds, and a whole gamut of other nutrient dense foods, condiments
and super-foods in accordance with the research of Weston A. Price.
We are Private Club Members alongside a number of small, dedicated Traditional
Farmers who utilize completely natural growing methods. These processes include
supreme attention to the overall quality of soil-spectrum health. The farmers
promote techniques of flawless cultivation that consistently evolve beyond the
popular organic standards.
Each of the farms has been carefully selected for their exceptional methods of
traditional rearing and nurturing. A number of farmers maintain unique herds
of Jersey cattle which graze year-round entirely on grass and wild vegetation.
Alongside these cattle, a plethora of other animals are raised in completely
traditional manners. The lands contain no herbicides, pesticides, fungicides,
or any other synthetic derivatives of any sort. None of the animals are ever
vaccinated, and they never receive antibiotics, growth-hormones or stimulants
of any kind. They are never fed grains, soy or any other unnatural feed. Hay
is rarely supplemented as many of the herds graze pasture year-round.
How Does The Process Work? E-mail info@pastureraised.net to
be contacted about membership and have the opportunity to talk to a coordinator.

Pure Indian Foods is a small family-owned
business that takes pride in making an exceptional quality Ghee from
Grass-Fed cows. Ghee is butter with the milk solids removed.
Our family has been in this business in Northern India for 5 generations,
since 1889. We make our ghee fresh, with care, in small batches,
right here in the USA. We use Grass-Fed, USDA-certified Organic butter
for making our ghee, and we are in the process of applying for Organic
certification.
Ghee has been used for its health-giving and healing
properties for thousands of years. In Ayurveda (the “science
of life”), cow ghee is considered one of the most sacred foods.
Ghee is the best cooking oil as it is stable at higher
temperatures, and it enhances the flavor of spices and herbs. Ghee is
free of casein and lactose and is suitable for people who are allergic
to dairy products. It keeps skin soft, and has anti-aging properties.
Ghee contains naturally occurring CLA, Omega-3, Vitamins A, D, E & K2.
It is free of harmful trans-fats.
Ghee is shelf-stable and we ship worldwide by USPS,
UPS, FedEx or DHL. We offer special discounts to co-ops and buying
clubs.

Ruth Ann's Garden Style Beef is
produced on a 140-acre "all-grass"
farm about an hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore and 20 minutes
northwest of Frederick, Maryland. We are the third generation to manage
the farm, which has been in the family since 1938.
We practice management intensive grazing, a pasture
system that utilizes multiple smaller pastures with frequent animals
movements. This allows better weight gain and is more environmentally
friendly, resulting in a much healthier and nutritious pasture.
Ruth Ann's Garden Style Beef is:
- Naturally fattened, dry-aged beef grown on a succulent "garden"
of grasses, legumes, and forbes
- Healthy, tender grass-fed beef
- Tasty, with a bold, robust flavor
- Free from added hormones or antibiotics
- High in Omega 3 fatty acids
- High in CLA
- USDA inspected
- Aged for 3 weeks to promote tenderness (beef in grocery stores is
not aged)
- Sold in bulk packages as well as individual cuts, ground beef, and
patties

Wagon Wheel Ranch raises beef, lamb,
pork, goat, and eggs free range on our pastures. We do
not use antibiotics or hormones.
Our pigs are raised in a wooded area with a connected
pasture where they eat weeds and grass, which give the meat a better
flavor. They are supplemented with some pig feed and raw peanuts. The
oil from the peanuts gives the meat that famous Virginia ham taste. Because
our pigs roam free they produce lean pork.
Our sheep and goats only eat pasture and hay in the
winter. The sheep are hair sheep that shed their wool so no shearing
is necessary. Hair sheep are naturally parasite resistant and do not
require frequent drenching.
Our laying flock roam the farm during the day and
return to the barn at night for protection from predators. Their diet
consists of ground corn and bugs/insects, the diet Nature intended so
that they would have the necessary oil to produce eggs. Commercial egg
laying operations that confine their chickens use old restaurant grease
as a cheap source of oil. This makes the eggs high in the bad cholesterol.
In the winter we feed sunflower seeds as their source for oil.
We raise small frame herefords and black angus. The
beef industry has bred to produce bigger cows that do not efficiently
convert grass to meat. Our cows are easy on their environment, and are
only fed hay in addition to pasture grass. Our cuts of beef tend to be
smaller than what is sold in the stores, but there is less fat.
In the summer months all our animals have free access
to organic kelp and remond salt; in the winter months the animals have
access to minerals.
Wagon Wheel Ranch is located in Mt. Airy, Maryland,
an hour north of Washington DC, 45 minutes west of Baltimore, 20 minutes
northwest of Columbia, and 15 minutes east of Frederick.

Whitmore Farm specializes in pasture-raised,
heritage breed chickens, turkeys, sheep and goats. Our
animals spend their time on pasture and produce high-quality products

D.C./Baltimore area.
We also take special orders for lamb, eggs, chevon and vegetables in
the spring, summer and fall.

very humanely.

nutritious, and are better for you and our environment.
