Grass-Fed Organic Meat in Quebec
Why are our animals grass-fed?
At Les Fermes Valens, we attach the utmost importance to animal welfare, and this begins with a diet adapted to the specific needs of each breed. Based on respect for the animal's nutritional needs and its relationship with its natural environment, our meat retains all the nutritional benefits essential to your energy intake. Tender meat retains its delicious taste. You're eating healthy, you're eating organic, and so you're eating better while preserving the environment and supporting the animal cause.
Year-round grass-fed beef
Our ruminants are fed 100% organic grass: in summer, they graze on our extensive pastures and enjoy a healthy, natural diet. When winter arrives, we offer them hay and grass from our own harvests. We scrupulously respect the rearing conditions associated with our organic certifications to bring you tasty, high-quality meat. Feeding our livestock grass means they receive a diet as close as possible to their natural needs and recommended nutritional intake. At Les Fermes Valens, you know that the meat you eat comes from a healthy environment, respecting the animal's nutritional values.
FAQ
Is certified organic meat necessarily grass-fed?
When meat is certified organic, it must meet a number of requirements linked to the animal's living conditions (habitat, transport), but above all to its diet. In the organic certifications obtained by Les Fermes Valens, our certified organic livestock must have a specific nutritional diet and must therefore be fed on fresh grass. This is what we strive to achieve throughout their lives and all year round, providing them with a diet that corresponds to their natural needs.
Are all Valens Farms animals grass-fed (grass-fed poultry, grass-fed pork, etc.)?
We are committed to being transparent with our consumers: when it says "grass-fed" on our products, it means that the animal has been fed a diet based on 100% natural grass. This herbivorous feed is produced by our own farming: our cattle graze our pastures in summer as they wish, and are then fed in winter using our summer harvest of hay and grass. Our poultry are given a seed supplement (called feed) to cover all their nutritional needs.
