Animals living on pasture is scarce over here and my only source for organic grass fed beef seems to be import. Most markets carries south american meat(Brazilian and argentinian) with some sort of certification of origin. I read the labels and there are no details regarding the feed and raising environment. My only
indication is the quantity of marbling in specific cuts but this is in no way a conclusive approach. Anyone living in lebanon managed to find such products? I also produce a lot of cheeses and am in constant look for raw milk. I found some sources in bekaa region but the diary cattle feed almost exclusivle on fermented wheat plants, hays, and grains. Never green!
