Animal Health and Welfare

Organic farmers see animal health and welfare as a top priority. By law, organic farmers must provide their animals with access to the outdoors and pasture, quality organic feed and safe, clean living conditions. Organic farmers are also required to raise animals without the use of antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones. The result: healthy, happy animals that are encouraged to exhibit the behaviors nature intended.
