I'm not Christa, but I contacted them once about this because we use a

ton of their ghee with the casein allergy in our household. This is

what they told me: " The cows are grass fed and all live on small

family, certified organic farms. "

You can order directly from them in larger containers (up to a gallon)

and it's a whole lot cheaper than buying at the HFS. :-)

Since they didn't say " exclusively " grass fed, and since they are in Canada,

I think it's reasonable to assume they are not exclusively grassfed, but,

like 99% of dairy cows in northern climes, are probably supplemented with

some grains...not only in winter, but most likely in the summer as well.

That is, unless Canadian farmers are vastly different than US farmers in the

northern states, where it's very rare for dairy cows to be exclusively

grassfed, especially in the winter.
