“We buy top-quality, locally sourced meats from Fischer farms,” says Jacquie Bols, owner of Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering. “Fischers is a multi-generation family-owned farm, that raise their animals sustainably and respect the environment, which is exactly what we are looking for in a partnership.”
According to Fischer Farms, “We are truly a sustainable farm. We absolutely do what we say we are doing and have the certifications to prove it.
"Every decision we make from rotational grazing to selecting genetics, is for the betterment of our farmland, our animals, and our environment.”
“You can definitely taste Fisher Farms attention to detail,” says Jacquie. “The meat is more flavorful, deeper colored, and definitely fresh.”
Because Jacquie is also committed to making as small an environmental impact as possible, she also appreciates that Fischer Farms reduces the methane emissions of their cattle by feeding them kelp as part of their diet, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 82%.
Additional sustainable farming practices like rotational grazing and direct application of cattle manure to fields, enhances soil fertility, increases carbon sequestration, and promote a sustainable water cycle. Fischer Farms also utilizes dry, open-air barns for the cattle and uses antibiotics only as needed.
Both Jacquie’s Catering and Fisher Farms are working together to ensure a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach "from farm to plate."
“We know this commitment to environmentally sustainable practices is as important to us as it is to our customers. We have been a sustainable caterer for more than 25 years. It’s something Jacquie's customers and her team deeply believe in.”
