Humane Farm Animal Care’s (HFAC) Certified Humane Raised and Handled® label has been awarded to Caw Caw Creek Farm, which produces pasture-raised pork in Columbia, S.C.
Caw Caw Creek raises heirloom pigs in a sustainable environment using traditional methods of agriculture. Its customers include some of the nation’s top chefs, including Daniel Boulud, Michel Richard, Fabio Trabocchi and Thomas Keller.
Samples of Caw Caw Creek pork and other Certified Humane products will be available at the “The New Q,” a barbecue to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank, at Studioplex in Atlanta on May 5 from 1 to 5 p.m. Other Certified Humane producers participating in the event include White Oak Pastures, a grass-fed beef producer in Bluffton, Ga., and Newman Farm, which raises Heritage-breed pork on pasture in Myrtle, Mo.
The Certified Humane Raised and Handled label assures consumers that a meat, poultry, egg or dairy product has been produced according to HFAC’s precise standards for humane farm animal treatment. Animals must receive a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones and must be raised with shelter, resting areas and space sufficient to support natural behavior. Since HFAC’s program was unveiled in May 2003, more than 63 companies have been certified.
HFAC’s Animal Care Standards were developed by a veritable “Who’s Who” of national and international animal scientists and farm-animal welfare experts. Producer compliance with the HFAC standards is verified through annual on-site visits by HFAC’s third-party inspectors. HFAC is a national nonprofit organization supported by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), regional and local animal protection organizations, foundations and individuals.
