QUALITY WITH A CONSCIENCE
At Rowe Farms our approach to eating is simple.
We believe the best approach to healthy eating is to consume sustainably raised, locally grown, minimally processed, organic foods.
Our Story
Caring about our health since 1972.
Rowe first started raising grass fed cattle on his Guelph, Ontario farm in 1972. Rowe’s passion for producing animals without the use of antibiotics, growth promoting hormones or animal by-products is where the Rowe Farms Conscience was born.
For John, his dedication to grass fed beef is a progression towards a more balanced food system. If you ask John why the interest in Grass Fed Beef, his answer: “I believe that what is environmentally best is also best for us.”
While most people are used to eating grain-fed beef, cattle cannot easily digest grain and corn and are unhealthy as a result. On the contrary, according to Rowe, grass fed cattle are healthier and keeping the entire food chain healthier.

Hormone Free
At Rowe Farms, we don’t use unnatural growth hormones. Each year millions of cattle across North America are injected with synthetically made growth hormones. Naturally occurring hormones are a good thing – it’s the unnatural hormones we are unsure about. In 1988, the European Union banned the use of hormones in beef production and at the same time banned the import of hormone treated beef. Although scientists seem uncertain about any long lasting effects of synthetic growth hormones in our foods, we at Rowe Farms know we can farm without the use of them. So for the good of both our livestock, and our customers, we have a complete ban on the use of synthetic growth hormones.

We will continue to enhance our protocols to offer the highest levels of animal welfare that is feasible.
