Why we aren't USDA Certified Organic
Tallow lovers, you may have noticed we’re not USDA Certified Organic. Here’s why that’s on purpose, and how we keep our products clean, ethical, and affordable.
Very few grass-fed and sustainable farms get Organic Certification.
Our three Maryland farms that we source from follow regenerative rotational grazing practices, are grass-fed, and are family-owned. These farms skip costly certifications and offer transparency that is visible upon visitation.
Label Bureaucracy vs Farmer and Customer Trust.
USDA allows some pesticides and even synthetic substances in “organic”.
Obtaining a USDA Organic Certification adds unnecessary costs, such as fees and audits, that customers often pay for without receiving any extra benefit.
Rather than chasing labels, we chase transparency, traceability, results, and tallow that heals your skin without breaking the bank.
