At Show Me Pastures, we take pride in offering regeneratively raised, nutrient-dense meats. All producers in our network adhere to these standards to ensure the highest quality for you and your family:
Our Standards
Regeneratively Raised
Our farms prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable ecosystems. Livestock are raised using adaptive grazing or pastured systems that restore the land and improve its productivity for future generations.
Transparency and Traceability
Every cut of meat can be traced back to the farm and practices that produced it.
Ethical Animal Treatment
Our animals are raised in environments that allow natural behaviors, with ample space, access to fresh air, clean water, and stress-free handling.
Water Conservation Practices
Our farmers manage livestock access to water sources to protect riparian zones, prevent erosion, and maintain water quality.
Forage Diversity
Ruminants graze on pastures growing with diverse species, including clovers, legumes, and native grasses, which improve both animal nutrition and soil fertility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Home Delivery?
Yes, we offer home delivery to St. Louis and the surrounding areas every Tuesday.
We also have offer à la cart shopping every Saturday at the Tower Grover Farmers Market.
What is Regenerative Farming?
Regenerative farming is an innovative agricultural approach focused on restoring and enhancing the health of our ecosystems. This method emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and water management by utilizing practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, no-till farming, and holistic grazing. By prioritizing the regeneration of natural resources, regenerative farming aims to create sustainable and resilient food systems that benefit both the environment and the community.
Do you use hormones or antibiotics?
No Unnecessary Antibiotics
We prioritize preventative care to promote animal health and reduce the need for antibiotics.
No Hormones
We do not use added hormones or growth promotants of any kind in our animals.
What are the animals fed?
Ruminant Animals (beef, lamb, goats): Grass-fed and grass-finished only, with no grain supplements.
Chickens and Pigs: Fed an appropriate diet that meets their nutritional needs while allowing for natural foraging behaviors.
What is Adaptive Grazing Management?
Our farms use rotational or adaptive grazing practices to mimic natural grazing patterns, improve soil health, and promote regrowth. Pastures are strategically rested to build soil organic matter and maintain forage diversity.
Do you use feed lots?
Our animals are raised entirely on pasture, with access to shelter when needed, and are never confined to feedlots.
