Choosing to be Certified Organic is not always an easy decision but it's an important tenet for our farm. The reason we have chosen to be Certified Organic is simple, we believe that receiving a USDA seal of approval stands for something. It means that we are making a covenant with our customers to be held accountable. Our farm undergoes 3rd party audits and assessments so that you, the purchaser, can have confidence that our products truly are Organically raised and truly GMO-free. Many farms say that they practice Organic farming methods, but receiving outside inspections is the only way to guarantee it.

There are many documented benefits of farming Organically, but the most important to us are creating a healthy farm and removing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) from the food chain. Eliminating the use of pesticides strengthens our soil and allows for the natural bio-diversity that fosters vigorous pastures and fields. We believe that the most responsible way to care for our environment is by taking a proactive approach as opposed to treating problems after they emerge with the use of pesticides. We also believe that GMOs can be incredibly harmful to both the environment and the human body. For this reason, at Alden Hills Organic Farms we refuse to use any GMOs in our feed or seeds.

We move our livestock and poultry to fresh pasture daily, both for the health of our animals and soil, but also to produce the highest quality meat possible.
