Some of the sustainable and regenerative agriculture methods our farmers use are pasture rotation, non-GMO feeding practices, no use of hormones or antibiotics and no use of chemical fertilizers. Soil health and bio-diversity is a major concern of our farmers and ranchers too.
Most of our farmers have third party verification such as Animal Welfare Approved, No/No (no use of hormones or antibiotics) and Organic Certification. The remainder practice these methods and encompass these ideals by following the spirit of these requirements but have not sought certification because the cost is prohibitive for their operations’ size.
We regularly visit our farmers and ranchers so that we understand their practices better and they, in turn, learn more about our business and the needs of our customers. These are relationships that have endured over many years to the point that we presently consider the farmers and their families part of our Farm to Table family.
For whole birds or larger volume of specific cuts we work with the premier certified pasture poultry operation in the United States. They raise slow-growing heirloom chickens. All of their whole birds and cuts are air-chilled.

We’ve partnered with ranchers from North Texas to establish a Farm to Table house label of a very unique breed of beef. Our house label beef program is a cross between French Charolais and Japanese Black Wagyu. No hormones or antibiotics, Gold grade and higher on the BMS. The cows are grass fed then grain finished for 3-400 days. Which is far and way more than what any traditional Texas beef operation is currently doing. What this yields is the most marbled, tender, and delicious beef we’ve ever had the honor of selling. You’ll be hard pressed to find access to this breed and quality anywhere else.
