Certified Organic Beef
Our yearling cattle are pastured year round and fed certified organic grain to make high quality meat without excessive fat. Carcasses are dry aged three weeks, which is double the usual time prevalent in the industry. We use no hormones, antibiotics, appetite stimulants, animal byproducts or synthetic additives in the feed. We use no coloring agents, preservatives, fillers or additives of any kind in processing the meat.
Beef is available by the whole, half, or quarter, cut to your specifications and quick-frozen, as well as by the 25-pound assortment or individual cuts. |  |
Certified Organic Chicken
We purchase chickens raised on certified organic feed without antibiotics, arsenicals, or other mediations common in most fryer programs. To compensate for not using drugs, great attention is paid to the daily comfort of the birds. They are free ranged with plenty of room to move around, and cleanliness is extremely important.
The fryers grow more slowly, reaching market weight at eight weeks, rather than the usual five to six weeks for birds in the supermarket. Our fryers take a bit longer to cook, but the more mature texture of the meat and richer chicken flavor are well worth the extra time. |  |
Certified Organic Pork
We have lean free range natural pork grown without any hormones or antibiotics. You can purchase it by the whole or half, cut to your specifications, and individual cuts.

Natural and Certified Organic Diestel Turkey and Certified Organic Welsh
Family Farm Turkey
We purchase whole turkeys and turkey products from Diestel Turkey Ranch. Diestel turkeys enjoy the freedom to roam the clean Sierra Foothills in Northern California. The turkeys are given extra time to grow and develop flavor naturally - an extra two months with no growth stimulants and absolutely no animal by-products. They are fed a low fat vegetarian diet of corn and soybeans. Diestel turkeys were voted #1 Best Tasting Turkey by the San Francisco Chronicle. Welsh Family Organic Farm's mission statement is simple and sound; a healthy soil produces a healthy plant, a healthy plant produces a healthy feed, a healthy feed produces healthy animals, healthy animals provide for healthy humans. We are proud to offer Welsh Family Organic Farm whole certified organic turkeys. |  |
Chemical Free Cured Meat
There has been so much prejudice against curing meat without sodium nitrite that "meat experts" assured us it could not be done. Thus, we have pioneered natural meat curing processes in the Puget Sound area. We use NO nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, sugar or MSG in our cured meats.
For those customers who are allergic to wheat we use certified organic uncut
spices and certified organic wheat free tamari.
We also use pure sea salt and substitute honey for sugar or dextrose in all recipes. Our ham and bacon come from young, lean pigs, and our regular high quality meat is used in all cured products. In addition to ham and bacon, we have a full line of lunch meats and various other cured meats, as well as sausages, pepperoni and beef jerky. |  |
Organic CheeseWe carry a wide variety of certified organic cheeses from Organic Valley and Horizon.
|  |
Lamb
We purchase lamb that is raised on pasture without hormones or antibiotics. We sell whole or half lambs cut to your specifications, or lamb by the cut. |  |
Wrapping
Most of our meat is double wrapped the old fashioned way, in plastic freezer film and unbleached brown butcher paper.
