At Lionette's Market we only work with naturally raised meats raised in small family farms in New
England, New York and Quebec. Naturally raised is as natural as you can get. The animals roam
freely on farms, eat what they want, when they want and have the freedom to live naturally. There
are no growth hormones, anti-biotic injections or trough feedings. All the beef we use is
grass-fed. Cows are ruminant animals and do not naturally eat grain (which is pretty much what
most of the beef in the USA is force fed). Grain feeding cattle is done to fatten up the cow, but it
also causes liver damage (thus the need for anti-biotics) and weakens natural stomach acids which
fend off e-coli. Grass-fed beef cannot get e-coli or mad cow disease (which spreads from force
feeding animal bi-products to cows).
We try to always have organic and locally grown produce when it is available.
Our eggs are farm fresh eggs from naturally raised chickens living in dozens of small farms in New
York and Vermont.
Ever wonder where a restaurant gets its food products? Curious that many establishments do not
or will not disclose this information. We on the other hand take tremendous pride in our vendors.
