PEACE COUNTRY PRODUCE sells organic 100% grass-fed beef locally and processed in certified organic facilities.

NON-TOXIC FARMING produces food that is grown in healthy, mineral-rich soil and that is free of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and hormones.

PASTURE-FED LIVESTOCK are healthier animals that live outdoors eating green grass and soaking up sunshine to produce more nutritious meat, milk and fat.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE depends upon millions of small family farmers who thrive by selling locally, bringing prosperity to rural communities and maintaining open spaces for future generations.


Health Benefits of grass-fed Beef
Omega 3 fatty Acids, beta-carotene, CLA and Vitamin E, all produced in living green plants tissues are stored in the cow`s meat and fat in forms that our bodies can easily access.

     Beta carotene - Is used by the body to make Vitamin A and a powerful anti oxidant protecting cells from free-radical and oxygen damage.
     - Play a role in preventing cancer cell growth and
       cardiovascular disease.
Fat content
     Beef raised on pasture do not stop with beta-carotene-rich fat.
     - Contains only half the saturated fat and significantly lower in calories.

Beneficial Acids and Vitamins
      - Three times higher in Omega-3 fatty acids.
               Omega 3 - Important to the healthy function of the brain and linked to lowering blood pressure, fighting depression and reducing cancer.
     - Contains five times more Conjugated linoleic Acid (CLA)    which can prevent and even reduce cancer cell growth.
     - Four times more Vitamin E which helps form red blood cells, a powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble body tissues and aids in the prevention of heart disease and cancer.

Health impact on the herd
     Considering all the health benefits from grass-fed beef, they too seems to experience immune-boasting effects.
     Because pasture-fed cattle are not raised in confinement, they are not subject to the manure concentration, cramped living conditions and high disease pressures. Raising them in the pasture reduces or even eliminates the use of toxic pharmaceutical pesticides to control parasites and eliminates residues of high doses of antibiotics.
Environmental Benefits 
     - Less air-polluting equipment is needed.
     - Large manure concentration that cause air and water pollution are prevented by rotational grazing.

Processed Animals
     Internal organs from Organic grass-fed animals are safe to consume and very nutritious due to the fact that the animals have had no pharmaceutical chemicals and antibiotics that can cause organ failure and disease. "Healthy animals = healthy people".

Meat tenderness
     Meat requires a certain amount of Intramuscular fat to make it tender if not it will be dry, tough and flavourless.
     Grass-fed beef is leaner and consequently show less marbling between meat fibers yet it contains sufficient intramuscular fat within the meat fibers so that the meat will be as tender as heavily marbled.
Tips for cooking Grass-fed beef
     When beef is cooked too fast, the high heat destroys the structure of the proteins, which makes the meat tough and chewy. The lower the heat beef is cooked, the more it will retain its tenderness and flavour.
     Grass-fed beef requires lower cooking temperatures.

     THE DRAW FOR A 1/4 OF ORGANIC 100% GRASS-FED BEEF IS ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2010.   THE WINNER WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THIS SITE AND CONTACTED DIRECTLY. 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPANTS! 

   We have had lot of people ask us how we cook our roasts, and is there any secret to cooking our Organic 100% grass-fed beef? We don`t know, as we only cook our own beef, but here is our simple basic instructions. We called it Soames Roast Beef.


Instructions:
1) Allow roast to defrost in the fridge over night.
2) Check weight of roast.
3) Place roast in a pan with the liquid from bag.
4) Chop one onion and place around the roast.
5) Sprinkle small amount of salt and pepper on top of roast.
6) Seal roast in pan with tin foil of lid.
7) Place in oven at 350 degress F. Allow 1 hour for first pound and 20 minutes for every other pound thereafter. i.e. 3 lbs. roast would take 1 hour for first lb + 2x20 = 40 minutes. So a 3 lbs roast takes 1 hour 40 minutes to cook.
8) Take roast out from the pan and place on cutting board to cool before slicing.

MAKE GRAVY:

Take potato water from cooked potatoes, heat with juice from roast, bring to boil while stirring to thicken, add salt and pepper to taste.
Flour or corn starch can be use as substitute for potato water
