squee

  1. A squeal of excitement or delight (especially used by fangirls on the Internet).

I tend to obsess about things.  Currently, it is Star Wars, natural eating, ma kitteh and as always, Allah (swt). 

I first read Omnivore’s Dilemma a year and a half ago, and it (along with In Defense of Food) has changed my life.  While it is slow going, I’ve been working on removing all the processed foods out of my life and am hoping to add organic, zabiha meats to my diet.  So imagine my fan girlish delight when I saw this:

  • -No hormones and No antibiotics
  • -No grain in the feed, beef is exclusively GRASS FED
  • -All the cuts are dry aged to enhance tenderness as well as increase flavor
  • -No animal by products in the feed, in fact no feed at all, its just grass
  • -Cattle live live naturally, on wide open pastures
  • -No animals come from feedlots or stockyards, only animals directly from farms.
  • -You are supporting farmers who heal the land through sustainable practices
  • -Not just grass fed, but rotational grazing methods are used, which helps by having the grass and earth retain more carbon, as well as limit the need for de-wormers and vaccines for the cattle!
  • -All animals are harvested by hand without use of stunning, (blunt traumatic force to the brain) minimizing the amount of blood left in the meat, making it more healthy
  • -The meat is artisanally carved by hand and individually wraped and labled

    • We are very pleased to say that Green Zabiha is sourcing beef from the iconic Joel Salatin’s Polyface farm, one of the most well known and respected names in organic/biodynamic/pastured farming popularized by the seminal book The Omnivore’s Dilemma and the film Food Inc. To learn more visit Polyface Farms and Green Zabiha. For our prepared beef items, we also used cattle from Rich and Joe’s in Nebraska, you can see pictures of their farm by clicking here.
