Better for

Better for

Better for
your body

We partner with Truly Grass Fed™ to bring you the betterest whey on the planet.

Truly Grass Fed™ Farms work in harmony with Ireland’s naturally mild climate and abundant precipitation to create a product that’s better for the earth, better for the animals, and fuels your body as nature intended.

Why we went all the way
to Ireland for our whey.

“It’s minimal ingredients that are properly sourced, that actually taste good. That’s the feedback we get every day… you guys being transparent about what’s in the product, how it’s made, is why I keep coming back.”

Brooks Miller CEO, Earth Fed Muscle

Grass-Fed Whey

Conventional

Room to
Roam

Truly Grass Fed cows live as nature intended, spending up to 300 days a year on pasture in clean, fresh air.[1]

Confined
Feed Lots

Movement is restricted so the cows use less energy and fatten more quickly.

Energy
Saving

TGF farms make good use of Ireland’s natural precipitation, with no need for mechanical irrigation.

Energy
Spending

Maintaining an artificial indoor climate requires more energy and resources than a natural, outdoor environment.[3, 4]

Happy
Animals

As creatures of habit, cows enjoy the familiar faces and slow-paced routine of small, family-owned farms.

Stressed
Animals

Large-scale operations and crowding create an uncertain environment.

Natural
Diet

Consume only grass and are never given hormones or antibiotics. Mature naturally in 1.5-2 years.

Hormones &
Fillers

Eat cheap grains and fillers, and are routinely given hormones to boost production. Industrial livestock accounts for 80% of all antibiotic use worldwide.

Clean Air,
Healthy Soil

TGF farmers cultivate grasslands that maximize nutritional value, maintain soil health & convert large amounts of CO2 into oxygen every day.[2]

Large Carbon
Footprint

With no grass to capture and convert it, conventional cattle farms have no way to compensate for their carbon output.

What happens when you
treat cows like cows?

“The concept of having a large group come together and decide as a coop, we want to do things better, Truly Grass Fed has shown it works.”

Irish dairy farmer

“They’re much happier, they’re much healthier, and they’re eating a natural product. And really, that is key and it is that grass that gives that unique and special flavor to all the food we produce.”

Seasonal Production Cycle of Grass-Fed Cows

Spring

In early spring, the cows are calving
(giving birth)
just as grass growth kicks
off. When lactation
begins and the milk
yield of those cows goes up
rapidly,
this natural peak in milk production
is
in sync with the rapid increase in
plentiful,
nutrient-dense
grass growth.

Summer

Ireland’s mild climate and abundant

precipitation allow cows to graze
throughout
the summer months,
naturally making
the most of the
milking season.

Autumn

As grass growth goes down, the cows
will
finish their milk production for the
year.
Come spring, the grass growth
will kick off
again, and it will be
exactly in sync with
the lactation
curve of the cows.

Winter

The grass loses its nutritional value,
but
the cows no longer require a
high-nutrient
input because they are
no longer producing
large volumes of
milk. A maintenance diet gets
them
through the winter, and then

spring starts again.

30% reduction in emissions by 2030
