What Does A Higher Standard Mean?
For us, a higher standard means going above and beyond the food industry’s standards of natural and setting our own, so customers have no doubt they’re eating honestly natural food.
No Antibiotics Ever
You’ll never find antibiotics in our any of our products. Why? Because we know you don’t want to eat them. When companies give their animals antibiotics, YOU could end up consuming the chemicals. At Garrett Valley Farms, we manage the health of our livestock by ensuring healthy farming conditions and employing innovative practices to prevent illness from coming their way.
No Growth Hormones
Our products wouldn’t be natural if we used growth hormones to promote development in our livestock, so, we don’t! While this has always been Garrett Valley Farms’ philosophy, many of our competitors are working double-time to remove growth hormones and other chemicals from their products. And as they’re busy doing that, our team at Garrett Valley Farms continues to develop revolutionary and humane practices to lead the all natural industry forward.
By the way: don’t let other companies take advantage of what you may not know about the meat industry. Federal regulations made it illegal to use growth hormones in pork or poultry. Luckily for Garrett Valley Farms, we’ve never used them.
No Animal Byproducts
As a Garrett Valley Farms customer, we know you care about what you put in your body. So chances are you also care about what we feed our animals. Each and every one of our farms uses a strict vegetarian feed for all beef, chicken, pork, and turkey used to make our products. Not only is this better for the animals, but it’s better for you!
Always Minimally Processed
From a short list of ingredients, to a short process, Garrett Valley Farms knows when it comes to naturally delicious food, less is always more! We partner with family owned farms and facilities to ensure our products are raised with care and pride. Working with these independent partners means we’re able to ensure our practices meet and exceed industry standards.
NO FINE PRINT
We know you’re busy, that’s why you’ll never have to worry about wasting time looking for the fine print on Garrett Valley Farms products-we don’t have any!
No Sodium Phosphates
We believe honesty is the best policy. That’s one of the reasons we never use sodium phosphates in our products. Sodium phosphate is an artificial preservative used to fool consumers into thinking they’re getting more meat, when in reality, the added salt is used to bind water and increase the overall weight of the product. Sodium phosphate also significantly increases the level of sodium in meat products, which is never a good thing.
No Dextrose
No Stabilizers
No Partially Hydrogenated Oils
TRANSPARENCY IS KEY
We go the extra mile to use ingredients that exceed industry standard. Like our founder says, “we need to promise our customers a higher standard.”
Sea Salt
Celery Powder
Naturally Smoked
Spending hours smoking our products over real woodchips might not be efficient, but it’s the natural way to get rich and smoky flavor. Many of our competitors cut corners by using chemical solvents to extract flavors, and pump them into their products to fool consumers. You don’t have to worry about tricks like that with Garrett Valley Farms, naturally, we take the time to do it right.
