Regenerative Organic Certified® seeks to prioritize animal welfare through a set of rigorous standards that go beyond traditional organic practices. These guidelines are designed to ensure that animals are treated with respect and dignity throughout their lives. By fostering environments where animals can express natural behaviors, ROC™ promotes well-being and reduces stress, an essential aspect of animal husbandry. In a nutshell, the requirements behind our animal welfare standards include: 🐄: Five Freedoms: Freedom from discomfort; freedom from fear and distress; freedom from hunger; freedom from pain, injury, or disease; freedom to express normal behavior 🌾Grass-fed/Pasture-raised: Animals are raised primarily on pasture or grass-fed diets, promoting their natural behaviors and health. 🛻Limited Transport: Transportation is minimized and done in a way that protects animals from extreme temperatures and stress. 🚫No CAFOs: ROC™ framework prohibits Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, which often raise animals in crowded and unsanitary conditions. 🌧️Suitable Shelter: Animals must have access to open space shelters that protects them from harsh elements. 🌞Outdoor Access: Animals should have year-round outdoor access, allowing them to graze, roam, and engage in natural behaviors.

Over the past few years, what started as a quiet revolution brewing in the world of agriculture, has turned into a global movement that is re-writing the way in which we think about, cultivate, and consume our foods. The regenerative organic revolution has taken the industry by storm, as consumers are becoming increasingly aware of both the human and planetary health benefits of regeneratively and organically farmed foods. Brands such are Jovial Foods have introduced nutrient-dense, regenerative organic pantry staples to the marketplace, broadening the possibilities of cooking and baking with the planet and human health in mind. Healthy soil is alive with microorganisms that play a critical role in breaking down nutrients. By implementing regenerative organic practices farmers can improve soil structure and fertility, which naturally enhances the nutritional value of the crops grown. When consumers purchase products from Regenerative Organic Certified® brands like Jovial Foods, they are not just buying food; they are supporting a system that fosters soil regeneration, ecological resilience, and healthier communities.
