One of our vendors opens in a new tab was featured on Oprah today opens in a new tab for their innovative calf raising practices. Inspired by their concern for animal welfare, the Strauss family spent years researching alternative veal raising systems. Ultimately, they say the most humane and compassionate system is the one Mother Nature provides. For anyone who wants to eat veal, this is the way to go —pasture-raised with exceptional quality and flavor, while raised in a healthy, humane and sustainable way. They promise their calves are:
Free to Roam – never tethered, raised in confinement
Raised on natural open pastures alongside mother & herd
Never raised in feedlots
Unlimited access to mother’s milk
Strictly vegetarian fed – never receiving animal by-products
Never ever administered growth hormones
Never ever administered antibiotics
Never experience the stress of industrialized farming
Traceable to place of birth
Agriculturally sustainable & environmentally friendly
