Do you sell or prepare food with grass-fed beef?
This month’s Natural Selections feature in the September 2011 Issue of Specialty Food Magazine, Home on the Free Range, looks at the operation of Prairie Horizons, a conventional dairy turned grass-fed-beef farm. We’d like to hear from retailers and foodservice operators as to whether you sell grass-fed beef in your store, or use it in any of your prepared food or menu items. Is customer interest in grass-fed beef growing? What type of feedback have you received? Suppliers of grass-fed beef products, please take a moment to tell us about your products too.
