LA FARGE, Wis.—The graze craze continues to grow as more people embrace the benefits of organic and 100 percent grassfed products. As pioneers in the category, Mighty Organic is introducing Mighty Organic Beef Sticks, the first and only organic, 100 percent grassfed beef snack stick, from the same cooperative farmer-owners who produce for Organic Valley.

With five to six grams of clean protein and made with organic honey, Mighty Organic Sticks have 40 percent fewer ingredients than the leading competitors. They’re ideal for grab-and-go snacking, weekend warriors, paleo-diet aficionados or anyone looking for a better-for-you high protein snack.

“One of the issues I ran into while increasing my protein intake is that it’s not always easy to find something that’s convenient to eat after a run,” said Dorothy Beal, marathon runner and certified USATF Level 1 running coach. “When I discovered Mighty Organic, it became easy to eat post run. I’ve been hooked on it ever since.”

Like all Mighty Organic products – which also include Bars and Jerky, each in three flavors – the high-protein, low-calorie, gluten-free beef snack sticks are made from 100 percent grassfed beef raised with no toxic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic hormones or GMOs.

“Mighty Sticks are a natural extension of all things Mighty,” said Ellie France, Mighty Organic’s Brand Manager. “It’s awesome to introduce a 100 percent grassfed beef stick that’s healthy and not overly processed. More and more people want to snack sensibly, which makes Mighty Sticks a great choice whether you’re at your local co-op or the convenience store down the street.”

Mighty Organic grassfed products are an all-around winner. One hundred percent grassfed beef is more nutritious than grain-fed beef. That’s because grassfed naturally contains higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), beta-carotene and omega-3s, and a more healthful ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids*. Grassfed organic farms, which have acres and acres of pasture, also help replenish the soil and sequester carbon, improving the quality of the forage growth, which in turn reduces erosion and air and water pollution. Science says that increasing grass-based agriculture could help stop or even reverse climate change.

Available in three flavors – Original, Teriyaki and Jalapeño – Mighty Organic Sticks will be sold in natural food markets, food cooperatives, major grocery chains and convenience stores beginning in early June. The SRP for each .75-ounce stick is $2.19 to $2.69.
