What does American Ostrich Farms do?

American Ostrich Farms, based in Kuna, Idaho, is the largest ostrich producer in the United States. Founded in 2013 by Alexander McCoy, the company operates on 120 acres that mimic the ostrich's natural habitat. It is focused on providing a healthy and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional beef, promoting responsible red meat consumption. The company produces a variety of ostrich meat products, including steaks, burger patties, organ meats, and emerging items like sausage and snack sticks. American Ostrich Farms runs a USDA-inspected processing facility called Sustainable Meats, where it manages the entire process from hatching to distribution. This facility also offers processing services for other meats, including beef, goat, and lamb. American Ostrich Farms emphasizes sustainability, using significantly less water and land than beef production while emitting fewer greenhouse gases. Its integrated model ensures a direct connection between the ranch and customers nationwide.
