Why carry ÃÛèÖAPP Certified Beef?  

Shoppers everywhere are looking for ecolabels and demanding meat from responsibly-managed operations.

ÃÛèÖAPP’s bird-friendly land certification empowers consumers to support grassland conservation across hundreds of thousands of acres in the U.S. We have a large and loyal consumer base that will buy beef from ÃÛèÖAPP-certified lands, even if it costs more.

Industry experts state that growth in non-traditional beef has grown 25-30 percent annually over the past decade and predict that this growth will continue. By replacing expensive grain-feed with regenerative management practices, ranchers are completely insulated from spikes in the price of feed. Similarly, supply from ÃÛèÖAPP-certified ranches is growing and we expect to enroll more than 2.5 million acres by 2022.

ÃÛèÖAPP's Conservation Ranching program is one of the best hopes for grassland conservation across the Great Plains. You can be part of an innovative program that helps consumers, ranchers, and the environment.
