Why Grass-Fed Matters: The Health, Sustainability, and Ethical Difference at Cedar Brook Farm
The Cedar Brook Farm Commitment to True Grass-Fed Excellence
At Cedar Brook Farm, we go beyond conventional meat production to provide 100% grass-fed (No Grain, Ever), never grain-finished beef and lamb, raised on nutrient-dense pastures. Our commitment to rotational grazing, humane handling, and superior nutrition ensures a product that is healthier for consumers, ethically raised, and environmentally responsible. Our livestock is moved every few days to fresh pasture, ensuring optimal nutrition and regenerating the land.
We have been selling in the industry for over 10 years, which demonstrates our commitment to fostering loyalty and trust within our community.
What Sets Cedar Brook Farm’s Grass-Fed Meat Apart?
1. 100% Grass-Fed, Never Grain-Finished
Unlike many "100% grass-fed (No Grain, Ever)" labels that allow grain-finishing, our cattle and lamb consume only diverse pasture forage from start to finish. This leads to leaner, more nutrient-rich meat, with an improved omega-3 to omega-6 ratio (1:2), compared to grain-fed beef (1:11 to 1:50).
2. Rotational Grazing on Diverse, Nutrient-Rich Pastures
Our livestock is moved every few days to fresh pasture, ensuring optimal nutrition and regenerating the land.
Our animals graze on a mix of 5 legumes and 4 grasses, moved regularly through rotational grazing to:
- Our livestock is moved every few days to fresh pasture, ensuring optimal nutrition and regenerating the land.
- Maximize forage quality and soil regeneration.
- Enhance nutrient density in the meat.
- Improve carbon sequestration, supporting long-term environmental sustainability.
3. A Superior Nutritional Profile for Better Health
Our 100% grass-fed (No Grain, Ever) meat is naturally high in:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Supports heart, brain, and metabolic health.
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – A natural fat linked to reduced inflammation and improved body composition.
- Vitamins A & E – Essential antioxidants for immune health and cell repair.
4. Humane Practices & Ethical Meat Production
Animal welfare is at the core of our farming philosophy. We:
- Move livestock to the abattoir the morning of processing to ensure minimal stress.
- Follow provincial inspection standards, ensuring the highest levels of food safety and humane treatment.

5. Direct-to-Consumer Freshness & Traceability
