Is It Affordable?
In general, pastured meats cost 15% more than factory farm meats available at a supermarket chain store.
|
Here’s why:
- Additional land is required to cultivate grass-fed beef.
- The quality and maintenance of that land has to be very high.
- Grass-fed cattle require more time to grow large enough to go to market (average 7 months longer); grain-fed cattle fatten up quickly!
- More staff is required to assure cattle receive optimal care, low stress and excellent nutrition throughout their life.
- Economics favor a large corporate farm over an individual grass-based farm.
And, at Fleisher’s our butchering process employs dry aging techniques to improve flavor. This takes time! But, we prefer the taste of our meat to the mass-produced, factory-farmed stuff.

| We think you’ll agree.
We feel that 15% more is a small price to pay to support local farmers, to have access to the health benefits associated with pastured meats and to experience the superior taste of Fleisher’s meats. |
