Definitions:

Grain-fed Beef

• Grain-fed beef is the most widely produced kind of beef by the approximately 800,000 beef producers across the United States.

• Grain-fed cattle spend most of their lives eating grass in pastures, they then move on to a feedlot where to they eat a high-energy grain diet for three to six months.

Grass-finished Beef

• All beef that is grass-fed as cattle spend the majority of their lives eating grass in pastures. However, grass-finished beef comes from cattle that have been raised solely on pasture their entire lives.

• Grass-finished cattle may be entered into the Certified Organic Program and must adhere to the same guidelines. However, grass-finished beef is not necessarily Certified Organic Beef as these cattle may be given FDA-approved antibiotics and/or growth promotants.

Definition of "Natural": also see: http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA-3103.pdf

According to USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), "natural" may be used on a label for meat if:

  • the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, or chemical preservative or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient; and
  • the product and its ingredients are not more than minimally processed (FSIS Directive 7220.1 Policy Memo 55 "Natural Claims").
  • The definition of "natural" does not consider the way in which animals were raised and or what they were fed so natural beef can be grain-fed, grass-finished or organic as long as it's minimally processed and contains no additives.
  • Some beef products may be labeled "natural" based on a marketer's production specifications, such as "raised without growth promotants and antibiotics."

Ball home canning kit water bath canner

Home Canning Kits

This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)! There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure canner, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
