process.
Pilot Brands bring farmers,
processors and distributors together in a synergy of people, philosophy and
products that delivers the best of the land with exacting attention to detail,
service and quality. You care deeply about the provenance of your meat and
produce; these farmers care as deeply about the welfare of their land and
wholesome goodness of the animals they raise. They strive to strengthen the
connection between you, your food, and the land.
ABOUT
Pilot Brands enthusiasm for
natural, succulent meats sets us apart. Adding only their own exacting
standards of trim, handling, and service to the simple qualities of the meat:
care for the land and livestock raised as they evolved, grazing freely on
plentiful grasses with clean water and fresh air—naturalness beyond trite
definitions.
At Pilot Brands the focus is on
the details that matter in delivering well-crafted, delicious grass-fed meat of
the quality you demand, when you expect it.
The team of logistics, warehousing and distribution experts ensure that
the values inherent in the meat are delivered safely, with care and on time.
LAMB
Pilot Brands reputation was
forged on fine lamb and an enduring tradition of excellence. Carefully selected
free-range Pilot Brand lamb is trimmed with an unmatched attention to detail.
Aged for guaranteed tenderness and then quick-frozen to seal in its natural
succulence, the lamb has a delicate, mild flavor that exemplifies the best
qualities of grass-fed lamb.
Naturally healthier, grass-fed
lamb is higher in omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fats, vitamin E, conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA) and protein than grain-fed lamb. Grass-fed lamb is also
lower in calories, cholesterol and saturated fats.
BEEF
Experience the flavor and
benefits of natural grass-fed beef. Better for the animal, better for us, and
better for the environment, grass-fed beef offers a nutritional profile and
natural integrity to suit today’s contemporary and conscientious diner.
Tender, juicy beef with grass-fed
goodness is manifest in Pilot Brands’ Pasture Perfect™ range of grass-fed beef.
These grass-fed cattle are allowed to mature unhurriedly and naturally, grazing
only on lush pastures.
Grass-fed beef is higher in
omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, vitamin E, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA),
and lower in total fat. Our beef comes only from cattle that have been raised
naturally on lush pasture, free ranging and never confined, never fed
antibiotics, and never treated with growth hormones.

Beyond Emissions Reductions: Carbon Capture Strategies, a Deeper Dive
Lecture Series 2016: Changes Challenges and Choices
Beyond Emissions Reductions: Carbon Capture Strategies, a Deeper Dive
Photosynthesis: An Agent for Sequestration of Carbon in the Atmosphere
On Saturday, January 23rd, Marin Carbon Project co-founder and agro-ecologist Dr. Jeffrey Creque, and Carbon Cycle Institute Policy Director Torri Estrada, will talk about “boots on the ground” sequestering carbon on farm and public land, their work through Resource Conservation Districts around the State, the Governor’s “Healthy Soils Initiative,” and other policy advances in supporting use of photosynthesis to reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
Their remarks will be followed by presentations by Rebecca Burges, Executive Director of the Fibershed Project, and Kimberly Sheibly, Marin Sanitary Service’s Municipal Contracts and Communications Manager. Rebecca’s work demonstrates how we can restore the planet’s resource base while meeting our needs for food, fuel, fiber and flora. Kimberly will describe efforts to convert customers to recycling food and other organic waste so it becomes part of the solution rather than going into landfill, where it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
