Beretta Farms Certified Organic Lean Ground Beef
Eighty-five percent lean, sold by the pound. Beretta Farms freezes this ground beef in 1 lb packs, and also sells boxes of 5 and 10.
The cattle are 100% Canadian Angus. They graze, then finish on certified organic grain. Ecocert and Pro-Cert both audit the line, so the organic claim is not just the farm talking.
The page also rules out added antibiotics, hormones and GMOs in the feed. A single 1 lb pack is $17.50. The company harvests beef at its federal plant in Lacombe, Alberta.
This is the organic grind, not the grass-only ribeye. Grain at the end is what the organic standard on this product allows.
