| Wholesome Harvest: What Organics Should Be
|
"The Organic Consumers Association endorses Wholesome Harvest, a coalition of small family farms that helps build communities through its commitment to domestic fair trade principles while offering certified organic meats that have been pasture-raised on American farms. With its first-in-the-nation traceability program that allows consumers to see online the small farms where their food was raised, Wholesome Harvest is helping to connect farmers to consumers and offering an alternative to cruel factory farms, environmentally harmful feedlot-production methods, and the importation of meat from other countries. These practices are devastating to rural American communities. By purchasing Wholesome Harvest, customers can choose to support small family farms that practice the highest levels of environmental and animal stewardship."

Wholesome Harvest is a coalition of over 40 concerned small family farms. Since 2001, Wholesome Harvest has been offering premium organic certified poultry and meats to grocers, chefs and households. Our commitment to quality extends above USDA organic standards to additionally include pasture based production methods--and no feedlots or confinement/factory farms. Low density pasture production on small family farms ensures a higher quality of life for the animals, better environmental stewardship, and added flavor and nutrition. We are committed to revitalizing decimated rural communities and Fair Trade principles. We seek to offer independent food choices for consumers that have traceability systems and authenticity in intention and production.
We are a small farmer coalition that owns our own brand of meats, including chicken, beef, pork, lamb, duck, goose and turkey. Because we are the producers and not the packing houses, we absolutely know and control the traceability of our product and have the freedom to choose the processors with the best practices both for social responsibility and food safety.
You are really buying direct from the farmer when you buy Wholesome Harvest, an option that is hard to find in the supermarket these days. As a new fair trade option for you, we hope you will vote with your fork and either request our products at your neighborhood retailers and favorite restaurants, or order online. Thank you for your interest in sustainable meat production.
In 2001 a young Iowa farmwife who was very committed to feeding her children safe meat and encouraging responsible farming practices in her region set out on a mission to "eat well, save the earth, and the small farms on it" She designed our simple label on her home computer and the original vision statement for our group remains unchanged.
