Request for Inclusion
in the
Eatwild Directory
Being listed on Eatwild.com is
your most cost-efficient marketing tool. To date, we've had over 4 million
visitors to the site, with up to 8,000 visitors per day. The bulk of them are
looking for suppliers—don't miss out!
We welcome new suppliers who meet the following production
standards (revised 5/08):
Criteria for Listing
on Eatwild
- We raise our animals in a low-stress, natural environment
and treat them humanely from birth to market.
- We protect our streams and other natural water sources from harmful animal
impact.
- We manage the grazing pattern of our animals to enhance
the growth of the pasture, the health of the land, and the nutritional value
of our products. To do this, we take into account the specific soil conditions,
vegetation, altitude, growing season, and temperature range of our climate.
- When high-quality pasture is not available, we feed our
ruminant animals (e.g., cattle,
goats, sheep, bison, deer, antelope) stored
grasses, which can include hay, haylage, and grass silage. We do not feed
them grain, soy, corn silage, or concentrate.
- We do not treat our animals with hormones.
- We do not treat our animals with routine, low-level antibiotics.
Those animals that we do treat with antibiotics due to health problems or
injury are removed from the program.
- We do not confine our animals except for: 1) brief periods
prior to and during birthing, 2) to protect them from extreme weather conditions,
or 3) to prevent “pugging” of the soil during wet weather.
- We raise our dairy animals on pasture with little or no
grain or concentrate. (We will list you if you feed your dairy animals a
small percentage of grain—6 pounds or less per day, provided you specify
the type and amount. This information must be included in your listing.)
- We raise our poultry outdoors on good-quality pasture
as soon as they are old enough to withstand outdoor conditions. (Note: Having “access
to the outdoors” is not enough. The birds must be getting a significant
amount of their nourishment from growing plants. This means that they need
to be in a large area of grass, or moved frequently so that they always have
a good supply of fresh pasture. Unlike ruminants, poultry can be fed a significant
amount of supplemental food, such as grain and seeds.)
- We raise our pigs or rabbits outdoors on good pasture.
(As is true for poultry, they can be given supplemental grain, nuts, seeds,
fruits, and other nutritious foods in addition to grasses.)
- Organic certification is desirable, but not essential.
If you have questions about the criteria and whether or
not you qualify for listing on Eatwild, send us an e-mail (listings@eatwild.com)
or call (toll-free) (866) 453-8489.
Eatwild reserves the right to remove a supplier from
the website if there is reason to believe that the supplier does not meet
these criteria, or if for any reason inclusion of the supplier might reflect
negatively on Eatwild.
Getting
Listed
If you meet the above criteria and want to be added to
the Eatwild Directory, please complete the form below and send it to us either
by mail, e-mail (click on this link) (listings@eatwild.com)
or fax (866-453-8489). The cost is a one-time fee of $50. (Future updates
to your listing will cost $10 each—the update fee is due when the update
is requested, not with your initial payment.) These fees, along with
sales from the Eatwild Store, help keep the Eatwild website online.
We do not have grants or any other outside funding and
we operate this site at a net loss. If you want this site to be a more effective
advocate for pastured products, please consider writing your check for a larger
sum. (Thanks to a new partnership with Renew the Earth, donations of $100 or
more are now tax deductible.) Contributions can be made online when
you pay for your listing.
We thank you in advance if you are able to help out. Any
amount is appreciated.
P.S. Visit our Producers'
Corner page for information geared specifically to Eatwild farmers and
ranchers.
