Consumers face confusion when buying meat due to unregulated terms like 'farm-raised.' Jon Urbana from KOW Steaks explains that this term varies widely and can refer to anything from small farms to large-scale industrial operations. To make informed choices, it's better to seek specific terms like '100% grass-fed' or 'pasture-raised' and inquire about sourcing from butchers. Understanding where meat comes from and supporting local farms can help ensure better animal welfare and sustainability.
"Unfortunately, 'farm raised' can mean almost anything - it's not a regulated term. One brand might be talking about a small family farm, while another is referencing a massive industrial operation."
"It's important to look beyond the label and understand who you're really buying from. Some labels list the farm name on the packaging; look for local farms or co-ops that are more likely to pasture-raise and grass-feed their animals."
