Welcome to our FAQs section! Here, we provide valuable insights into the principles that guide our practices at Halal-N-Tayyib Meats. One key concept we embrace is Tayyib, which goes beyond the standard of Halal to ensure that our food is not only permissible but also wholesome, nutritious, and produced with the utmost care for animals and the environment. What Is Tayyib and Why Is It Important? Tayyib represents the highest standard in agricultural practices and animal care, going beyond just organic. It includes methods such as grass-fed regenerative farming, rotational grazing, and the ethical, humane treatment of animals. Unfortunately, while much focus is placed on ensuring meat is Halal, less attention is given to whether it is Tayyib, even though this is just as important and deeply rooted in our Islamic principles. Halal and Tayyib are not new concepts; they have always been foundational to our faith. We believe that consuming Tayyib (wholesome, nutritious, and clean) food is not merely a choice or a luxury—it is a religious obligation to care for the bodies entrusted to us by Allah SWT. Eating Tayyib is an act of faith, rooted in Islamic teachings, and has far-reaching effects on the entire food ecosystem, which we are responsible for caring for justly. Is Organic the Same as Tayyib? While organic farming is the closest modern farming method to Tayyib, they are not the same. Tayyib represents the highest standard in agricultural and animal care, focusing on practices like grass-fed regenerative agriculture, rotational grazing, and the humane treatment of animals. At its core, Tayyib goes beyond simply being organic—it encompasses a holistic approach to food production that prioritizes the health and well-being of animals, the land, and the consumers. At Halal-N-Tayyib Meats, we raise all our animals on the farm, with no auction-purchased livestock allowed, ensuring they are nurtured from birth under the best conditions. In Islam, the treatment, care, and rights of animals, as well as their welfare and ethical slaughter, are deeply significant—this is central to what makes meat Tayyib. While Halal is a primary focus for many, the importance of Tayyib is equally critical in Islam. The teachings of Tayyib are firmly rooted in our faith and are found in the Quran, such as in Surah al-Baqarah (verse 168). For us, eating Tayyib food is not just a choice but a religious duty, connected to our Deen, meant to honor Allah SWT. Our mission at Halal-N-Tayyib Meats is to uphold and surpass Halal standards by embracing the principles of Tayyib. By offering authentic, high-quality, nourishing meat sourced directly from the farm, we aim to bring Tayyib back into the spotlight and build a community that supports ethical, sustainable farming. Are You Organic and Grass-Fed Certified? While we are not formally certified organic or grass-fed, we exceed USDA organic standards through regenerative practices like rotational grazing. This approach not only supports the well-being of our animals but also maintains the land's integrity and vitality. We avoid synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, ensuring our livestock enjoy a nutrient-rich, chemical-free diet. Instead of seeking organic certification—which would increase product prices without offering real benefits—we prioritize radical transparency. This allows you to see firsthand how our practices result in healthier meat, better animal welfare, and a more sustainable environment. We ensure that our sources are free from GMOs and adhere to organic standards. For instance, our chicken feed is Non-GMO and USDA Certified Organic, composed entirely of vegetarian ingredients and free from animal byproducts, sourced from a local feed mill. Furthermore, the farmers we partner with raise their livestock on grass that is free from chemical treatments. Additionally, hay, yellow corn, balage, and corn silage are all certified organic by Global Organic Alliance, Inc. Moreover, the cows from our partner farms are certified Pasture Raised-Natural/Organic and are verified by the Global Animal Partnership (G.A.P.) through IMI Global, a division of Where Food Comes From, Inc.
