Chomps Reviews: Sustainability

Chomps is dedicated to sourcing from farmers who are committed to treating their land and their animals right and are working toward a net positive impact.  These farmers practice natural regenerative agriculture methods, including rotational grazing, caring for the grass and the land first so both the animals and the environment benefit.  Animals are humanely raised in open pastures and are never treated with antibiotics or hormones.  In addition, all facilities are regularly audited to certify animal welfare guidelines are being followed.

Chomps meat is sourced from all over the world.  More on where their beef, turkey, and venison come from below.

• Beef Sticks: Grass-fed and finished beef are sourced from Cape Grim Beef in Tasmania.  This network of farmers is dedicated to producing the highest-quality sustainable beef and carries the Certified Humane seal.
• Turkey Sticks: Organic free-range turkey is from Pitman Farm’s/Mary’s Turkeys in California, and the free-range, antibiotic-free turkey comes from Ferndale Market in Cannon Falls, MN.
• Venison Sticks: Free-range, grass-fed venison is sourced from Duncan Venison farms in New Zealand.

Chomps Reviews: Bottom Line

Chomps are a wonderful healthy snack free from GMOs, gluten, soy, dairy, added sugar, added nitrates or nitrites, MSG, artificial preservatives or coloring, and artificial sweeteners and great for almost any diet.  They are great for kids too!

We love that Chomps come in 8 tasty flavors so that everyone in your household can pick a favorite.  Our favorites were the Italian Beef Sticks and the Cranberry Habanero Beef Sticks.  Both were very original and packed with flavor.  It would be great to see more interesting flavor combinations in the future!
