Why P2P Meats?

Why P2P Meats?

After more than 40 years of ranching, Jasmin and Felix (my mom and dad) have learned a few things and it shows in the quality of the products and the vision that comes through strongly in the different aspects of the ranch and business. I am writing as the second generation who is involved in the operations of P2P and I can honestly tell you that you will not find two people more wholeheartedly passionate about what they do than my parents. The products produced for our customers are clean and of excellent quality, optimal nutrition and are handled with grace and respect from the animals life through to the display case in our butcher shop.

Did You Know?

That conventionally processed meat products such as ham, can contain less than 40% meat? The rest can be made up of phosphates, water, glucose, fat and fillers. This means that you can reasonably pay 2.5 times more for a P2P product, since you get 2.5 times more meat and this is not even considering the quality of the meat and the husbandry of the animal.
 
That sausage casings can come pre-coloured to give a smoky look? Cutting corners is a specialty of conventional mass production facilities. All our processed meats are produced using old fashioned, artisan techniques that are time consuming, precise and result in delicious products.
 
That MSG (monosodium glutamate) is addictive and supports obesity, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease and autism and is added to many conventional meat products, as well as other foods? MSG is a slow poison and hides behind many different names such as “Natural Flavouring”. We do not use any MSG or ingredients containing MSG even in the products we make for our many commercial customers (other small ranches who direct market their products).
We commend your decision to buy quality, clean, ethical products!

So, your choice to go organic not only is good for you and the producer, but it is also good for the planet.

One of the best books I ever consulted on salt and water:

“HOW TO DEAL WITH BACKPAIN & RHEUMATOID JOINT PAIN”,
by F. Batmanghelidj

To help me better understand the essence of life, the book,

“THE TRUE POWER OF WATER”, by Masaru Emoto has changed the way I look at water, the way I consume water and the way I treat water.

Health

A grass fed ruminant has a low, or basic stomach environment. When large amounts of grain (starch) are added to its diet, the environment in the rumen’s stomachs changes to acidic and thus becomes very close to the acidity in human digestive systems. When such meat is consumed, pathogens like e-coli can thrive in the new, but similar environment which in turn would have been instantly killed were the meat from a grass finished ruminant.

On a high starch diet the ratio of omega 3 fatty acids to omega 6 fatty acids changes to a ratio overwhelmingly high in omega 6. Every body cell of the human is enveloped in a layer of fat. If this fatty layer is made up of omega 3, which is a broken hydrogen chain, serotonin, or the “feel good hormone” can readily enter each body cell and tell it: “You are satisfied!” If this fatty layer is made of omega 6, which is a straight hydrogen chain, serotonin cannot enter to bring the good message and the body keeps craving more, which results in what we all know to be obesity.

*After 20 years of strictly grass feeding the ruminant livestock on our ranch, we decided this year to step out of the dogma and give our livestock the additional support when they need it. During extreme cold it is very hard for them to consume enough hay to stay optimally nourished and they begin to suffer; it is not and never will be a tool we use to ‘finish’ our animals, we are only using certified organic grain as a tool to maintain health and energy in very specific situations when the animals welfare is at risk. Grain is not fed in enough volume or for enough time to change the omega-3/6 ratio or to change the digestive system of the animals.

Ethics

When reading through our website, you will find that we buy locally and BC as much as possible and that we stay seasonal as much as possible. We also made the decision years ago to not sell out of province. We offer a 20% no-transport discount on P2P meats sold here in Redstone.
 
In North America, the average steak has 5,000 km of transport on it, your PASTURE TO PLATE meats have between 10 km and 750 km of transport on them.

We do not vaccinate our animals, although we would be allowed to under organic standards. It is not the modified live, or killed virus in the vaccines which is scary. It is the vector in which the organism is suspended which can truly damage the body. This vector used to be mostly mercury based and as mercury got a worse and worse rap, over time it was changed to aluminum in human medicine. The ingredient changed, the result however did not. A healthy body in a healthy bacterial environment and nourished properly is not easily hurt by pathogens. Nature makes sure of that. Nature has ensured survival of the adaptable for millennia, long before pharmaceuticals were concocted by life sciences.
