It's All About the Grass: Paradigm Farms Makes Healthier Lifestyles Easy
You can now eat healthier and potentially live longer, without having to make a diet change. Paradigm Farms now offers its customers 40-lb freezer packs of naturally-raised, premium beef at incredible prices online.


/Farming News Articles/ - NASHVILLE, TN, September 12, 2006 - The way your food is produced has a significant impact on your health. If you are eating beef that isn't raised naturally, you are packing an extra 17,000 calories into your diet per year. Melissa and Jason Webb have been naturally raising beef for years, to provide top-quality, succulent choices of meat for consumers across the US and Canada.

A cow is designed to eat a vegetarian diet that is high in fiber and low in protein. Beef that is raised on grain ("feedlot beef") is loaded with calories that are high in cholesterol. Meat from cattle on high grain diets is lower in healthy Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Not only is feedlot beef extremely fattening, but by eating it you increase your risk of E-coli infection, since grain makes the cow's intestines more susceptible to E-coli.

Conventional agriculture focuses on selling goods to a middleman (grocery store) and they usually end up struggling to make a living. With over 30 years of experience in the family farming business and a degree in Animal Science, Jason Webb was determined to find a way to make his farm both profitable and sustainable in his family agricultural practices. Along with his wife, Melissa, he achieved this at Paradigm Farms, where their beef is both health-conscious and affordable. He wanted to focus on doing everything in a sustainable manner, without the need to grow a genetically engineered crop. This includes only growing grasses that are natural to your environment. The natural beef from Paradigm is sold at a flat rate of $3.85/lb for ALL cuts, which is a huge bargain compared to supermarket prices and quality. Customers may also purchase 40-lb freezer packs of assorted steaks, roasts and ground beef at a flat rate of $6/lb, an incredible bargain for a large volume of meat.

What once was scrutinized as an unfavorable, hard-working job, is now an ideal opportunity for families to bond. Melissa's parents, Tom and Cheryl Neill, also live on the farm and they all work together as a family. They think it's a great way to keep families together. Unfortunately, family farmers are a dying breed. Being a young couple in the farming business is rare, especially located in a very urban area. That's one of the reasons why Melissa and Jason Webb are so recognized and admired.

Paradigm Farms has taken the "rural" out of typical farm life, by locating their growing farm near a bustling city. As a matter of fact, a 400-unit subdivision is being built directly across the street from their farm. Melissa and Jason are very excited about the prospect for more people to be exposed to the benefits of buying locally. "This way, customers are close enough to be well-informed about their food supply and the role they can play as a knowledgeable consumer," says Melissa in regards to the new subdivision.

"It's not as hard to buy locally, as you think," says Webb. She suggests that consumers try a simple internet search for "local beef" to find resources for local farmers in their area. The more people support local farmers, the healthier we can be as a society.
