Small Animal Welfare Approved by AGW Green Farm Field on White Bakground

Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW)

A Greener World is a nonprofit that administers one of the most trusted animal welfare labels in the country. Certified farms are audited annually, guaranteeing animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range for their entire lives.

Why AGW ? Our staff and facility are Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World, and we work hard every day to earn that. We chose AGW because we believe certification should mean something — not just a one-time approval, but an ongoing commitment backed by annual on-farm audits and strict third-party standards. We know these animals represent your livelihood and your care. From the moment they arrive, we treat them with the same respect you do — because that's what they deserve, and because it's the right way to do business. AGW gives both you and your customers the confidence that every step of the process, including ours, meets the highest standard of animal welfare.
