Key Strengths
- Rated 'Excellent' by Consumer Reports for consumer trust and transparency

Ideal For
This certification is best suited for American family farms and ranches raising ruminant animals (beef, bison, lamb, goat), as well as pasture-based pork, poultry, and dairy producers who want to differentiate their products in the marketplace. It is particularly valuable for producers who already follow or are committed to 100% forage-based, no-confinement, hormone- and antibiotic-free practices and want a credible third-party verified label to communicate that to consumers.
