Ostrich is 99% fat free. Fossil Farm's Ostrich is fed an all-vegetarian diet of farm-local alfalfa hay, corn and soybean meal. Recommended by health and fitness professionals, Ostrich is raised to the specifications of the “Never Ever Program,” where antibiotics, hormones and steroids are never administered.
Ostrich meat looks, cooks and tastes just like Grass-fed Beef. This is the perfect option for the first timer to start tasting the world of exotic meats! Ostrich meat was the original inspiration and product line for the creation of Fossil Farms! Lance Appelbaum, the owner of Fossil Farms, set out to change the eating habits of the American diet. We source our Ostrich from our own family farm in New Jersey, as well as other family-owned farms through the United States.
Why is Ostrich the healthiest alternative to Beef? Ostriches consume 1/3 of the amount of water than Beef cattle. Roughly three times more feed is required to raise one pound of Beef than one pound of Ostrich meat. Ostrich use 1/50 of the land that Grass-fed Beef requires and emit significantly less methane than beef, pork or sheep. Ostriches contribute 1/10 of the greenhouse gases per pound than that produced by beef. Boasting more health benefits than skinless chicken breast and turkey.
