Southern California-based ground beef processor Jensen Meat Company has signed an agreement with Montana non-profit American Prairie Reserve (APR) designed to help support wildlife-friendly ranching and large-scale conservation while providing Jensen access to domestic, naturally-raised, grass-fed beef for its restaurants, retail outlets and food distributors. This product will be available to food service providers beginning in June and to consumers a few months later.
“APR’s wildlife-friendly ranching practices provide our customers with hormone-free, natural beef while helping to ultimately protect an area of native Montana prairie roughly the size of Connecticut,” says Abel Olivera, CEO of Jensen. “There’s a growing demand in the United States for grass-fed beef, so after quite a bit of research, we are proud to support and partner with APR.”
