Mans Eggs

Mans Eggs - Chicken - Free Range - Local

Mans Eggs takes eggs to a whole new level. Delivering quality free range eggs at fair prices throughout Alberta is just the start. <br>The product you use for cooking, baking, breakfast, lunch or supper was laid by free range hens which are given the choice to be indoors during windy or rainy days, and enjoy the freedom of the outdoors on warm sunny days. <br><br>To ensure consistency from one dozen to the next the farmers purchase feed from one feed mill. Alfalfa meal is added to the feed which ensures each egg is full of rich flavour and healthy color. At the CFIA approved grading station each egg is candled to ensure cracks, blood spots (a natural occurrence), and deformed eggs are removed. After being candled each eggs is washed and graded into size and then set into cartons or trays depending on the shipping destination. Mans Eggs knows it is critical for our customers to know where each chicken is raised, and each egg is laid. We keep it very simple: the hens and all the eggs are grown and graded in Southern Alberta.

Gemstone Grass Fed Beef

Gemstone Grass Fed Beef - Steaks - New York Striploin

ethically raised <br> grain free <br> no added hormones or antibiotics <br> no GMO feed <br> grass finished <br> Animal care is our top priority. We believe in creating a comfortable, natural environment for our cattle, using low-stress handling and herding methods. Gemstone cattle are born and raised on our farm and enjoy a natural, grain free, nutrient rich diet free from added hormones. In the winter, the cattle remain free to roam in large fields, but are also provided with wind shelter and straw bedding for protection during storms and extreme cold. <br><br> In the spring, summer and fall, our cattle graze on a variety of lush, nutrient dense grasses and other forage. We rotate them through our open pastures often, so they can eat the most nutritious parts of the plant, resulting in high-quality beef that our customers desire. <br><br> To maintain health and growth, cattle finished in the cold winter months are fed a mix of green hay and silage. Silage is chopped up grass, or other green fodder, that is preserved over the winter by airtight fermentation to prevent spoilage. Just like canning vegetables or fruits! Small quantities of sunflower seeds, rolled flax or malt sprouts may also be added for extra energy and nutrition. <br><br> Good for our Customers It contains vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E, minerals like iron and zinc, and essential amino acids. However, research has shown that finishing cattle on a grass fed diet has several health benefits for consumers. <br><br> Some of the health benefits of grass fed beef include: <br> Higher in Vitamin A and E: powerful antioxidants that support healthy vision, skin, bones and other tissues in the body.<br> Two to three times more conjugated linoleic acid: a healthy fat that's been tied to improved immunity and anti-inflammation. Higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids: essential fatty acids that have been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and other conditions.<br> More desirable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio: Health professionals suggest that a healthy diet consists of 1 to 4 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids. While essential for normal body function, excess amounts of omega-6 can cause inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that grass fed beef repeatedly falls within the healthy 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.
