Organic farming is also more humane towards the animals themselves as they lead more natural lives
Organically raised animals eat herb and grass, which flavors the meat.

Organically farmed meat has many benefits.
It is healthier for the people who eat it as it is more
nutritious, contains less potentially harmful additives
and is BSE and GM free.
It is healthier for the environment in
which it is produced as organic farming methods are less disruptive
to local ecosystems and are less dependent on chemicals. Organic
farming is also more humane towards the animals
themselves as they lead more natural lives, are not intensively
farmed, are fed natural feedstuffs and are not routinely fed drugs.
Best of all, organic meat is tastier!
Organically reared animals lead as natural and healthy lives
as possible. Conventional farms treat their animals as a product
or commodity, so being able to cram animals in, use cheap processed
feed or speed the growth of the animal increases profitability.
Organic farms are still, of course, run for profit, but recognise
that some people are prepared to pay a little extra for healthier
food from happier animals on farms that do not impact on the environment.
Most people who eat organic food do so because they find it tastes
nicer than conventionally farmed food. They are given freedom to forage, graze and
exercise. This makes the meat leaner, denser, less fatty and improves
the texture and flavour. And because
the animals live more natural, stress free lives, damaging acids
do not build up in the meat and the meat has a better texture.
Most people who try our organic meat do so because it's healthier
and more ethical; but we believe it's the superb taste that brings
them back for more!

Less is more, right. You don't have to gorge on a lot of meat. Quality over quantity. Why are we still eating veal? History will not be kind to us for this unwarranted cruelty.
