Just in time for the back-to-school season, Organic Prairie Family of Farms announces Organic Hot Dogs especially designed with the size and taste that's just right for kids.
Organic Valley's Organic Hot Dogs come in two kid-friendly varieties: Beef and Beef and Pork. Sized to fit a smaller hand's grasp, they satisfy a kid's appetite perfectly. They're tender and juicy without any of the tough "snap" found in casings-on hot dogs popular with adult palates.
"As a dad, I'm proud to know that a new generation of young people will be able to enjoy a traditional all-American hot dog experience with all the benefits of organic!" said Michael Levine, President, Organic Prairie, the cooperative of organic farmers who pioneered the U.S. organic meat industry.
Organic Prairie Organic Hot Dogs are the best choice for parents concerned about the safety of the foods they feed their families. Animals are organic—produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides— and are fed only 100-percent certified organic feed and pasture. No rendered animal by-products are used in processing and hot dogs are nitrate free. Smoked over real hickory hardwood and seasoned with fresh sea salt and organic spices, Organic Prairie Organic Hot Dogs feature the old-fashioned taste kids love. Each hot dog contains 5 grams of protein.
Organic Prairie Hot Dogs come in convenient packages of seven and are available in leading supermarkets, natural foods stores and food cooperatives throughout the country. Their suggested retail price is approximately $5.99 per package.
About Organic Prairie Family of Farms
The farmers who supply Organic Prairie were among the nation's first to produce meat without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides. They insisted on third-party organic meat certification long before federal organic standards were established and were the first in the industry to ban animal by-products from their cattle's diet. They played a vital role in shaping federal organic meat certification standards—the strictest in the industry. This cooperative of organic family farmers began selling meat in 1996 under the Organic Valley brand and has recently repositioned its meat products under the Organic Prairie brand. Its mission is to provide families with the healthiest, most wholesome meat that is raised in accordance with organic principles and practices—respecting the dignity and interdependence of human, animal, plant, soil and global life. Organic Prairie offers a full line of fresh organic beef and pork items designed to serve the diverse needs of the growing organic consumer market. It also offers a full line of frozen beef, pork, chicken and turkey items branded under the original Organic Valley label. All items will be transitioning to the Organic Prairie label in 2006. Included in this line are: beef steaks, roasts, ground beef, hot dogs, pork chops, pork roasts, bacon, ham and assorted sausages, whole roasting chicken and boneless skinless breast, and whole large and small turkeys. Organic Prairie's products are available nationwide at leading supermarkets, natural food stores, cooperative groceries and restaurants.All products are produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides, and animals are fed only 100-percent certified organic feed and pasture. Animals are free to roam outdoors and are cared for humanely and with compassion.
