Chefs should look for free range chickens from suppliers they trust and seek out local markets and producers who buy from sustainable family farms. Those who look will find networks of sustainable family farms and farmers who raise their animals to range free on grass pastures and natural feeds without steroids, sub-therapeutic antibiotics or other artificial growth promotants and who treat their animals with dignity and respect. These farmers bring tasty premium quality meat to customers while practicing the highest standards of husbandry and environmental stewardship. One such production is California based Niman Ranch, which markets the highest quality Iowa and California pork and beef, antibiotic free and hormone free and ships to retailers and restaurateurs anywhere in the nation. Many restaurants list Niman Ranch on their menu.
Sustainable meats taste the best.
