Craft Crops is VERY excited to announce that we are partnering with Walnut Range Farms to offer Nebraska raised, grass fed/grass finished beef to our customers in the Omaha area. Walnut Range Farms is a family run operation (Forrest and Jessica Swanson) dedicated to providing top quality beef that is humanely raised.
Walnut Range Farms is a great partner for Craft Crops because of their commitment to practices that increase soil health, animal health, and ultimately, human health. The cattle at Walnut Range Farms eat high quality forages on the wide open range, year round. Cattle are moved and rotated frequently to get the most benefit from the grasses, maximizing energy, protein, etc. In addition, when cattle are allowed to graze on the landscape, they act as “topsoil builders”, eating and trampling grasses to cycle nutrients and fertilize the grass to stimulate more growth.
Walnut Range Farms has found through lab tests that their beef has drastically lower Omega-6 to 3 ratios and drastically higher beta carotene values (HERE is one article discussing Omegas). In fact, after testing different forages over the years they have found their Omega-6 to 3 values to be at a 1.18:1. I challenge you to take a Google search and compare that to other beef. We really do have the best beef in the world grown by local ranchers in our area, and Craft Crops is happy to partner with one of them.
