HVH also values transparency: the labels on their products depict which farm the food item came from, how far it traveled, and what was done to the product, so the consumer knows exactly what they are receiving. The beef from HVH is pasture-raised, did not come from any sort of feedlot, and they were not treated with preventative antibiotics or appetite stimulants.
