Is local food actually healthier? Wyebrook Farm has the proof! 🥩 We're excited to provide an update on our partnership with Edacious, where together we are helping family farms measure and report the detailed macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals in their products. In March, longtime Local Line customer Wyebrook Farm began working with Edacious to better understand the nutrition profile of their cattle, and to determine whether their grass-fed ground beef was healthier than conventional USDA ground beef. The Edacious team conducted a thorough analysis and found that Wyebrook Farm ground beef has significantly higher levels of Omega 3's, Vitamin A, B, and E, and also has moderately higher protein and healthy fats per gram than conventional ground beef. Now armed with real nutritional data, Wyebrook Farm, with the help of Local Line, will leverage these results to increase sales to health-conscious families and local athletes. Thank you to Jeffrey Dill at Wyebrook and Eric J. Smith at Edacious for their great work! Now let's get selling 😎 If your farm would like to measure the detailed nutrition of your products, click here: https://lnkd.in/e3yCDYDj Read full article: https://lnkd.in/gz8xj25a
