"Organic Production" is a system of farming that minimizes the impact on the environment, with the primary focus on maintaining and developing a balanced farm ecosystem that is environmentally sustainable. Studies show that when humans consume a predominantly organic diet, they reduce the amount of toxic chemicals, food additives and artificial colouring ingested and increase the amount of beneficial vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidents absorbed.
Working with a select number of local ranches, Hills Foods is committed to bringing you only the best certified organic beef. These ranches graze their cattle on grass pastures without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the animals are raised free of genetically modified organisms, hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products.
