Grass fed organic meats

Carnmore

Does anyone know if there's an online seller or grass fed organic meats?

There's a UK based shop but they don't deliver to Ireland.

If you want to ensure the ethics and provenance of the animals try contacting your local farmers union - buy as local as possible.

I don't live in Ireland, but I live on an Island and can source quiet a few organic, grass fed meat from local farmers, but they don't always advertise as organic or grass fed, also some rear to organic standards but don't qualify for organic status due to relatively minor reasons i.e. Not enough years farming organically - when I home reared (stopped 15 years ago) I didn't go for organic status as it was relatively new and expensive, but raised my stock organically, as it was mainly for us to eat - I'm sure you will find something closer than the link you posted with a bit of researching

Good luck, and let us know.

Grass fed doesn't mean ethically treated.

'Organic' doesn't mean 'free range' or 'happy clappy' animals.

You can't get meat without having an animal reared and then killed - it's the animal welfare standards that are sorely neglected in the meat industry.

Doesn't organic mean higher quality, because of the way they are reared if they fit the organic standard?

I don`t eat much meat and this meat is expensive but it is the very best. British home grown

Lamb is as close to natural as you can get without the grass fed and organic labels. The pitfall comes from the halal method of slaughter, halal does not need to be labelled. Soil association lamb is not halal. Beware of halal new zealand lamb

In the EU, organic does mean free range. Free range is incorporated into organic standards.

I haven't been able to find any 100% grass fed so far - meat produced in Ireland tends to be grass fed for about 8 months and grain fed for the remainder

That is because of our weather - there simply isn't enough grass in the winter to feed them year round. Grass pretty much stops growing for the winter months.
