Farm To People’s Post

What happens to the rest of the animal when you only buy the tenderloin? In the U.S., roughly 26% of edible meat goes uneaten each year. The reason is simple: consumers want the prime cuts, and the rest gets left behind. This is why we practice whole animal buying. For the meat we source, every animal we bring on gets fully used. Bones, organs, secondary cuts, all of it. Because honoring the animal means honoring the whole thing, and the farmers who raised them. Demand doesn't always match supply. But the way we buy can help close that gap. This is what it means to source with intention.
