It’s time to gather with loved one and friends for the holidays. Almost as important as the company sitting around the table is the food that will be served on it. As you plan your holiday menu, we urge you to set a humane table.
If you’re like most Americans, you care about the welfare and treatment of the animals on the country’s farms and ranches, and we believe people should be able to follow their food preference and find humanely raised products that are both safe and affordable. Luckily, setting a humane table is easier than ever before.
American Humane is the creator of the oldest and largest third-party farm animal welfare certification program in the country, and now certifies the humane treatment of nearly 1 billion farm animals - representing 10 percent of the animals raised on the country’s farms and ranches every year! Products bearing the American Humane Certified™ label signify that the animals were raised under science-based standards that provide good welfare and humane environments.
American Humane certifies producers that raise chicken, turkey, beef and pork products – the centerpiece of nearly every American table, especially during the holidays. Thankfully a growing number of farms around the country have made the humane choice to have their facilities certified by American Humane, demonstrating compliance with nearly 200 humane standards covering adequate space, air quality, lighting, temperature, food and water, and the ability for animals to display natural behaviors.
Springer Mountain Farms chicken was the first brand of chicken in the world to be American Humane Certified™, and has proudly been certified continuously since 2001.
Americans have several choices when deciding what to serve their family and friends at the holidays, and we are proud to see that more and more of them are opting for humanely raised products because it is the right thing to do. Our farmers go above and beyond to do right by the animals in their care, and deserve our applause and gratitude. Support these farmers and show that you care for our nation’s farm animals by setting a humane table starting with Springer Mountain Farms Chicken.
Look for Springer Mountain Farms and the American Humane Certified™ seal at your local retailers!
