Ground Rules: the Right Meat for Any Meal

When it comes to comfort food, ground meat is often the star -  burgers, chili, spaghetti Bolognese, tacos, meatballs. But what if the same recipes you already love could taste entirely new just by switching up the protein? Exploring different types of ground meat is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to bring variety to your cooking.

Most of us reach for the same type of ground meat without even thinking. But behind the butcher counter, there’s a whole world of flavors waiting to be discovered.

And here’s the best part: all of our ground meats come from animals that are 100% pasture-raised on small family farms. They’re not only delicious, but also raised humanely and sustainably.

The Benefits of Ground Beef

A classic choice, but hardly ordinary. Pasture-raised ground beef is packed with nutrients thanks to the diet and lifestyle of the animals:

• Omega-3 fatty acids
• CLA (Healthy Trans Fat)
• Vitamin K
• Monounsaturated fats

Poultry Power: Turkey & Chicken

Looking for a lighter swap? Poultry brings a nutrient-rich boost while still delivering flavor. Pasture-raised ground turkey and chicken are full of:

• B Vitamins (B6, B9, B12)
• Retinol (Vitamin A)
• Iron, Magnesium, Zinc

The Underrated Hero: Ground Pork

Ground pork doesn’t get the spotlight nearly as often as it should. But when raised on forested pastures, our pork develops better muscle mass and higher protein content. It’s also rich in:

• Antioxidants
• Vitamin E
• Omega-3 fatty acids

And in the kitchen? Pork is a culinary chameleon - equally at home in juicy roasts, savory sausages, or even paired with sweet breakfast flavors.

A Gourmet Choice: Ground Lamb

Want something lean but don’t want to compromise on flavor? Pasture-raised ground lamb is the secret weapon your kitchen has been missing. It's also high in:

• Omega-3s
• B12 Vitamins
• Iron, Magnesium, Zinc

A Fresh Take on Familiar Favorites

Whether you’re making tacos, pasta, or burgers, swapping the protein can completely transform your go-to meals. With pasture-raised ground meats, you get more than just bold flavor - you’re also fueling your body with nutrients you won’t find in conventional options, all while supporting humane and sustainable farming.

Next time you’re planning dinner, grab a new type of ground meat and give your favorite recipe a fresh twist. You might just find a new family favorite.
