The Essence of Purity: New Zealand Beef Bone Broth
When it comes to nourishing your body and supporting your overall health, the quality of what you consume matters. Our New Zealand beef bone broth powder stands out not just for its exceptional health benefits but also for the unparalleled environment in which it is produced. This is part two of an earlier article we wrote called 'More Women Should Add Beef Bone Broth to Their Daily Routine - Here's Why'.
The Pristine Environment: New Zealand’s Natural Advantage
New Zealand is renowned for its unspoiled landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and lush green pastures. This pristine environment provides the perfect conditions for raising cattle. Our cows roam freely, grazing on chemical-free grass and drinking from some of the purest water sources in the world. They are also raised without antibiotics, which is both a signal of the health of our cows and ensures antibiotics aren't entering your own body indirectly. This natural diet and stress-free lifestyle result in healthier, more nutrient-dense cow bones, which form the foundation of our beef bone broth.
The commitment to preserving New Zealand’s environment ensures that every step of the production process adheres to strict sustainability and quality standards. The result? The finest been bone broth which embodies the purity and vitality of its origin.
Organic Certification: A Balanced Perspective
While our beef bone broth is not certified organic, it is produced with the same integrity and care you would expect from an organic product. Many New Zealand farmers go above and beyond the minimum government standards, adopting practices that have long prioritized chemical-free farming, animal welfare, and environmental care. These efforts are not just a reflection of their deep commitment to their animals and land but are also rooted in solid business sense. Scientific studies have consistently shown that happy, healthy animals produce higher-quality meat, milk, and other products.
At Rockwood Forest, we are deeply embedded in New Zealand's agricultural sector and work exclusively with farmers who are fanatical about maintaining chemical-free farming, a clean environment, and exceptional animal welfare standards. For instance, our deer velvet suppliers were named New Zealand’s Most Sustainable Farmers in 2024—a prestigious accolade that highlights their dedication to these values. This same ethos extends to the farmers who supply the beef bones for our broth, ensuring you receive a product that meets the highest standards of quality and ethics.
In fact, our unique combination of beef bone broth and deer velvet is what makes Velvet Blend truly one of a kind. No other product in the world brings together these two powerhouse ingredients, delivering unmatched health benefits in one formulation.
“Our beef bone broth may not carry an organic certification, but the cows are raised in New Zealand’s pristine environment, grazing on chemical-free grass under some of the strictest farming and animal welfare standards in the world. This guarantees a product that is as pure and natural as the land it comes from.”
World Leading Animal Welfare Standards: A Commitment to Ethics and Quality
New Zealand’s animal welfare standards are among the highest globally. Our cattle are raised with care, ensuring they live in a stress-free and humane environment. This dedication not only reflects ethical farming practices but also directly impacts the quality of the beef bone broth. Animals that are well-cared for produce superior raw materials, rich in essential nutrients and free from the stress-related factors that can compromise quality.
Animal welfare may or may not be a consideration when choosing any meat products you consume; many people have enough going on in their lives as it is without one more thing to be made to feel guilty about. At Rockwood Forest animal welfare is a guiding star in the choice of where we source our meat products from. The founder of the company has attempted vegetarianism several times in his life (two stints of two years being among several smaller efforts), but like so many others who try in earnest to make the switch to vegetarianism, he gave up eventually because it was too impractical/too hard to get the nutrition he needed for his active lifestyle. And it should be said, he missed the taste of meat and the irreplaceable sustenance it gave him. So he switched instead to A/ reducing the amount of meat he consumes and B/ doing whatever is practical to ensure the meat he is eating has been sourced from a butcher/company which is committed to high animal welfare standards.
Regardless of religion or spiritual home, the compulsion many people feel to consume meat that has been humanely sourced and free from suffering is deeply rooted in many spiritual traditions and religions. The concept of ahimsa (non-violence) is found in many Eastern spiritual traditions especially, teaching that the pain and suffering of an animal can carry negative karmic energy, which may impact one’s health and spiritual well-being. Similarly, many indigenous traditions often honor the spirit of the animal, believing that unnecessary cruelty can disrupt harmony and bring bad omens. While in both Islam and Judaism, strict dietary laws require animals to be slaughtered humanely to maintain the purity and holiness of the food. Even modern spiritual practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine suggest that stress and suffering in animals can energetically or physically affect the consumer. Across these traditions, the focus is on compassion, respect, and the belief that ethical treatment of animals leads to both better food and a healthier, more harmonious existence.
Any modern or commercial concept of 'wellness' should, we feel include due consideration and respect to the animal which provided either the meat or the animal product we humans benefit from.
