The Seven Sons Standard

At Seven Sons, we don’t follow industry norms—we raise them. Our standards reflect a commitment to integrity, animal welfare, and food that truly nourishes.

The Benefits of Not Cutting Corners

Ever wondered why Seven Sons meat costs more than what you’re used to at the grocery store? You’re not alone—and there’s a reason. It all comes down to what does and doesn’t go into our food.

Industrially raised meat—even much of what’s labeled organic—is built on shortcuts: grain-feeding, confinement, synthetic inputs, and farming practices that prioritize scale over ethics. At Seven Sons, we do things differently. Our animals are pasture-raised and humanely cared for using regenerative practices that protect your health and the planet.
