Animal Welfare Approved Audit

Every year our farm is audited by A Greener World Organization for our Animal Welfare Approved and Grass-fed certification. Last week farmer Nick and Zack showed Mr. Hester around the farm. They also walk through all of our management plans in the office. We were able to film a short interview with our auditor so you can learn more from their point of view.

Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW is the only label that guarantees animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range for their entire lives on an independent farm using truly sustainable, high-welfare farming practices. It is the only label in the U.S. to require audited, high-welfare production, transport and slaughter practices, and has the single highest impact on consumer purchasing of any food label, according to The Hartman Group.

The Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW standards were developed in collaboration with scientists, veterinarians, researchers and farmers across the globe to maximize practicable, high-welfare farm management, and are publicly available online. We’re proud of AWA’s reputation for being a practical, common-sense program that’s grounded in the realities of everyday farm and ranch life.” https://agreenerworld.org/certifications/animal-welfare-approved/
