Imagine lush pastures, blue skies, and crystal clear waters, with green rolling hills framed by mountains and speckled with cattle grazing at will. These images evoke a truly natural pastoral world- and perfectly describe the sources of our American Tradition (AT) beef. AT beef is 100% grass-fed and Glatt Kosher. Our cattle are raised and humanely slaughtered in the Mid-Atlantic, using Temple Grandin-audited methods.
We are proud that our AT beef is the only 100% grass-fed, kosher beef in the country. Although "just a little" grain finishing may not sound like much, it makes a big difference.
Our religious and ethical beliefs have inspired what we call The KOL Foods Way: our way of life and our commitment to animal welfare and sustainability. This manifesto helps us ensure that our ranchers are stewards of their land by:
-
Gathering and distributing its yield without overgrazing, allowing the land to fully recover in time for the next growing season.
-
Avoiding aggressive practices to artificially enhance production that would simultaneously destroy quality.
Our cattle are allowed to mature slowly and naturally, as they graze solely on verdant pastures. Using old world techniques passed down and perfected through generations, our ranchers work the land, faithful to a naturally sustainable process that produces exquisite beef characterized by deep burgundy red colors, abundant nutrients and elegant flavors. None of our ranchers give their animals hormones, antibiotics, or supplemental grains. And feeding exclusively grass is just the beginning. Our calves nurse on their mothers until they intuitively begin to graze.
Conscientious kitchens are looking for kosher meat that is naturally nutritious, is the best for animal welfare and is sustainably raised. It’s hard to believe that all these benefits come packaged amid layers of delicious flavors! We invite you to enjoy the remarkable difference.
