REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE & THE FUTURE OF FOOD
The story of our biltong began with our mission to produce healthier, more nutritious food but also to do so in a way that benefits the environment and supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers.

What is regenerative agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a farming approach that focuses on restoring and enhancing the health of the soil, ecosystems, and overall environment. It involves a set of practices that work with nature to improve soil fertility and the abundance and quality of water resources, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon in the soil. We believe that this approach to farming nurtures the ingredients in our food.
We Believe In
Regenerating the Land
We believe that food should restore the land it grows on, and nourish the people it feeds. By applying regenerative principles and practices, we have the opportunity to grow an agriculture system that expresses the highest potential of our ecosystem, progressively improving soil, water, biodiversity and human health.
Restoring Our Health
We believe in nourishing, delicious food that makes us feel alive. By sourcing clean ingredients from the healthiest soils and honoring traditional methods like fermentation and air drying, we can create truly satisfying flavors that lift our spirits and nurture our bodies.
Rebuilding Food Communities
We believe the meaningful relationships we forge with family, community, and nature connect us to something larger than ourselves. By building a network of local regenerative farms and ranches, we can reconnect with each other, and celebrate a rich diversity of food and ingredients.
How Our Beef Is Raised: A Holistic Approach
01 Mimic Nature's Patterns
Holistic management involves moving animals frequently across diverse pastures, emulating the natural grazing behaviors of wild herds. This encourages healthy plant growth and prevents overgrazing.
02 Rotate & Regenerate
By strategically rotating livestock to fresh pastures, we allow previously grazed areas essential time to rest and recover. This promotes soil health, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem resilience.
03 Observe, Learn, Adapt
Ranchers develop a deep understanding of their unique land and ecosystem. They continuously monitor the health of the soil, plants, and animals, making informed decisions to adapt their grazing practices as needed. This ensures a thriving ecosystem and high-quality beef.

Look For These Seals When Shopping For Meat
Land to Market™ exists to differentiate regeneratively grown products — providing the land a voice in the marketplace. There are vertification programs for animal welfare, safe chemical usage, fair trade and worker welfare, but no program, until now, has identified and quantified improvements to the environment on which we all depend.
The American Grassfed® seal ensures that animals are fed only grass and forage from weaning until harvest, are raised on pasture without confinement, are never treated with antibiotics or added growth hormones and are born and raised on American family farms.
