Our Story

In 2014, our founder Rachid; and with his wife's help; started raising chickens as a hobby. After a lot of research, they decided to follow Joel Salatin's model of raising chickens on pasture. The birds were pastured-raised by moving them every day to eat fresh grass, and they were supplemented with organic feed. After 8 weeks and a lot of work, the birds were ready for processing. After slaughtering their first batch of 20 chickens, they got a chance to grill some next day. Rachid remembers vividly the look on his wife and his kids faces when they first tasted the chicken. Alhamdulillah, there was nothing like it and we never looked back at buying meat from Halal meat shops ever again! 
​
A year later, Rachid was able to slaughter a grass-fed Black Angus and pastured raised chicken for his family and friends. Partnering with farmers who share our values, we were able to raise 120 pastured raised chickens and 7 cows in 2018. Although our business has grown significantly since then, we are still working to keep up with the massive demand for halal local, high quality meats. But keeping up with this demand was a challenge especially for communities far away from the Middle Georgia area. Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares was launched and the first cow was sold in 24 hours.

Inspired by our own journey to eat Halal and healthier meat, we want to bring our experiences providing our favorite meats to you.​ We started Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares because we struggled about how hard it is to find Halal grass-fed meat for our own family. At Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares you can buy local Georgia raised Halal Grass-fed beef at a reasonable and fair price. 

It is our mission is to make Halal, ethical, organic grass-fed, nourishing, and sustainable meat available to everyone in Georgia. At Halal-N-Tayyib, We give you direct access into where and how your meat was raised ― because when it's raised right, it tastes better than anything you’ve ever had. Along with our local Georgia farmers, we are committed to raising animals that produce superior flavorful and ethical meat and we’re excited to bring this highest quality meats to your doorstep!

There are so many reasons why it is very important for us to opt out of the current abusive factory farming system. Therefore, we really need to know where our food comes from because we are what we eat! The same goes for the animals. They are what they eat! We should not only be concerned about what we eat, but what our food eats as well. Allah (SWT) commands us to eat food that is Halal (lawful) and Tayyib (wholesome, pure and good) for us! Eating Tayyib is just as important and deeply rooted in our Islamic principles as Halal. The food we feed our families should not be a mystery; we deserve the best in both flavor and health! We do not have to compromise between Halal and Tayyib. We can have both! Alhamdulillah, there is an alternative to this abusive system, and this is exactly what we are trying to do here Halal-N-Tayyib Meats Shares. We are dedicated to provide our community with the highest standards of Halal healthy meat that is not just good for us, but for the animals, the farmer, and the earth. Connect with us to learn about what make us different and to check how we can serve you inshaAllah!

Our Vision

To become a hub of the true Halal grass-fed meats, cultivating relationships to provide high quality meats to our family and yours, upholding the highest standards of ethics and service.

Our Mission

It is our mission to give you access to the highest standards of Halal grass-fed meats that is not only good for you, but for the animals, the farmers, and the earth. 

Our Core Values 

Inspired by our own journey to eat Halal and healthier meat, we want to bring our experiences providing our favorite meats to you. Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares is a simple concept:
​

• We believe that eating Halal and Tayyib food is worship. It is tied right back to a person’s deen. The treatment of the animal and its rearing, its health and welfare, and the rights of the animal over a human in Islam as well as how it is slaughtered are all equally important. 
• We believe in knowing where the meat is from, how the animals were raised, and what principles the farmer is following.
• We believe that grass-fed production is important for ethical, nutritional, ecological and economic reasons. We value being part of a farming community – we enjoy helping other farmers. We value being a vital part of the larger community – we enjoy providing wholesome food for our neighbors.
• We believe that meat should be affordable, without making sacrifices on quality.
• We believe in local food for its many benefits to our community and our environment.
• We believe that consumers have the right to choose what is right for them, their family and their budget. The role of Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares is to bring affordable choices to consumers where information is trustworthy, and you can feel safe in what you are eating.
• We believe in the power of small farms and in the power of nutrient dense local food. In an age where food has become controlled by grocery stores and giant corporations producing quantity rather than quality, we are taking a stand.
• We believe in a food supply that is transparent and controlled by the people. We will not knowingly contribute to the further degradation and domination of our food supply by corporate giants. 
• We will conduct ourselves ethically, with honesty, integrity, and fairness in everything we do.​

"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful (Halal) and good (Tayyib) and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." ​ ​[Surat Al-Baqarah Aya 168]

​“Eat and drink from the provision of Allaah, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.” [Qur’an, 2:60]
​
​“…And do not desire corruption in the land. Indeed, God does not like corruptors. ” [Qur’an 28:77 ]
 
 "And eat of the things which Allah has provided for you, lawful and good, and fear Allah in Whom you believe." (Qur'an 5:88) 

Our Strategic Advantage 

At Halal-N-Tayyib, we are guided by our Islamic values on Halal and Tayyib from how the animals are raised and treated to how they are slaughtered and processed. 

Our Halal standards: 

1. The animal was hand-slaughtered following strict Islamic guidelines
2. The animal was humanely raised
3. No steroids, no growth hormones and no antibiotics were ever used in the duration of the animal’s life
5. The feed of the animal was strictly organic vegetarian, and for lambs, goats, steers, and chickens it must be grass-fed and pasture-raised
​6. The animal spent his entire life on the farm. We do not buy our animals from the auction. 

We believe that the food you feed your family should not be a mystery; you deserve the best in both flavor and health. So we give you direct access into where and how your meat was raised ― because when meat is raised right, it's not only tastes better than anything you’ve ever had, it’s also naturally healthier for you! Only meat that reaches this standard can be labeled.

Raising high quality meat in a sustainable way is both time-consuming and expensive. Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares produces and provides direct access to small, independent like-minded farmers with the greatest possible level of transparency available anywhere.
​
And we’re committed to selling it for a fair price so you can explore and enjoy the very best meat that fits into your budget, while supporting the farmers who bring it to you. Your custom butchered vacuum-sealed, frozen meat share is being delivered directly from farm to your door throughout Georgia. ​

​We Love our Farmers

​We only work with like minded farmers who believe in our core values in producing grass-fed animals using regenerative agriculture and rearing methods. Our mission is to connect you with where your food comes from because we believe that when you know where and how your meat was raised, you're able to make better decisions for yourself, your family and your health. How about our 100% grass-fed grass finished heritage breed Black Angus and the finest organic pasture-raised chicken raised our farm in Gray Georgia? Or the succulent lamb raised on organic grass on Jaconda farm in Montezuma, Georgia?

Knowing how to get proper nutrients is equally as important as knowing where your food comes from. Understanding the story behind your food helps you make informed decisions for your mind and body.

We work with farms that understand high-quality meat is achieved from the ground up. By first caring for the soil and water, animals have healthy, abundant pastures for grazing. There are no unnecessary chemicals or hormones, and the use of antibiotics is avoided or extremely limited. This symbiotic, regenerative approach means farms can work in harmony with the surrounding environment, while ethically and humanely caring for the animals to reduce stress.
​
These tried-and-true farming practices are beneficial for your well-being. Pasture-raised meat is lower in saturated fat and higher in vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. It also tastes better than anything you've ever tried — boasting bold flavors, beautiful colors and luscious tenderness.
