About our Cows
We select cows from local farms near Philadelphia in Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, and Mercer counties. We personally visit each farm and talk with the farmer to guarantee the cows are grass-fed and free of growth hormones and antibiotics. We also require the farm to follow sustainable, organic farming practices, but do not require the USDA organic certification.
Cows are an essential part of a sustainable farming ecosystem. They keep the hills mowed and fertilize the land. We prefer to purchase cows that are part of a healthy farming ecosystem. We believe in rewarding and supporting the farmers who create a sustainable farming ecosystem. Philadelphia CowShare offers them an income source from their cows and gives you an opportunity to purchase high quality, local beef.
