Podcast 018: Eat Local Field Trip
Dr. Meaghan and Wendy discuss what they learned as they visited three local farms this weekend. They visited:
1. 1. Garden of Eagan
2. 2. Shepherd’s Way Farm
3. Thousand Hills Cattle Company
Grass-fed means that the cows are fed grass which is a more natural diet. But a cow can also be fed grains unless it states “100% grass-fed.” Therefore, it is important to know the difference. Grass-fed beef is higher in Omega-3 essential fatty acids and other vitamins such as B vitamins and beta carotene. Organic is a certification process that is costly and timely. Therefore, some 100% grass-fed might not be organic but it still is rich in nutrients and vitamins. It is important to make sure that your food comes from a good source.
