In order for the farms to be certified, animals must be raised on pasture in their natural state of physical and psychological well-being, meeting specific criteria for each species. Animals are allowed to behave naturally, and perform their instinctive behaviors essential to their health and well-being.
Less than 1% of animals raised for food, are treated in this manner.
