I could not believe how these products packed so many important sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals..even more difficult to replace by other protein sources and pillbased supplements! Did you know a 3-ounce serving of beef contributes less than 10% to a 2000 calorie diet: yet it provides more than 10% of the Daily Value for many important nutritional items? It's true. This is the reason I want to bring these products to the attention of the public! There's no reason not to give Grass-Fed meat a try...only a reason TO TRY...to benefit your health and your family's health! So go ahead and compare Grass-Fed to the "run of the mill" forced grain-fed meats, and you will soon be amazed as am I. Edward Devitt Jr., Owner & Founder Pastured to Perfection Below I would like to introduce you to various families that support and raise grass-fed meats and products of which I distribute to the public...Enjoy!! THE WOOD FAMILY JOHN WOOD FARM Please meet John, Nan, Jennifer, Jordan and John M. Wood. John and Nan have resided in rural Monticello for 17 years.
