Why Country Archer Uses Grass-Fed Beef

Country Archer is committed to finding ways of limiting carbon footprint, reducing impact on the environment, and supporting sustainable farming. They are also committed to making excellent beef jerky with only fresh and real ingredients as much as possible. 

When it comes to choosing beef, Country Archer chooses 100% grass-fed and finishes pasture-raised meat. The cows they have are born and raised on a pasture and have never touched a feedlot that is important for them, their customers, and the environment. 

Country Archer encourages grass growth cattle grazing on pastures. Cow manure is a natural fertilizer free of chemicals which results to a healthier soil that absorbs more carbon. Their beef comes mostly from Australia, committed to making its meat and livestock industry carbon neutral by the year 2030.
