Your list of high protein foods should contain beef from Eagle Wood Farms
Know your beef –
Commonsense Sustainability – For moral and economic reasons we do not harm our environment. With limited land in Connecticut we rotate animal pastures. We compost manure and urine with wood chips and sell the aged material to the local public and use it to fertilize our fields lying fallow. We raise our cattle with common sense and respect. They have care free lives roaming farm land. At the slaughter house animals are not stressed as this is immoral, bad for the meat and dangerous for people at the facility. The facility is family owned and very small by most standards in the industry. All of us respect animals as our food source. We here consider our beef at the top of our list of high protein foods. Supporting local farms - Puts a "face" behind the foods we consume and keeps us connected to the land. Small Means Green - Buying from small producers reduces the environmental impact. Many small producers have less an environmental impact than a few mega producers. Preserving Character - Small local farms are a valuable component of a community's character, helping maintain agricultural heritage, preserve land use diversity, and moderate development. Local Means Green $ — Minimizing handling and transportation costs gives farmers maximum return on their investment. And most of the money spent on local production stays in the community, "greening up" the local economy.
