Tevya's Ranch Case Study
With an increase in the demand for natural beef, it is surprising that kosher options have been slow in coming but this month saw the launch of Tevye’s Ranch product line which offers affordable glatt kosher, grass fed, antibiotic-free organic beef.

Tevya’s Ranch is importing their superior meat from Uruguay. A family company, the business is growing quickly as demand feeds sales for grass-fed beef, now available in many kosher markets nationwide and even online. For approximately $2 more per pound than factory produced, the meat will offer the shopper a healthy alternative to the weekly menu.

Just last year, a multi-million dollar deal created a merger between Albertson’s and Safeway grocery chains because competition by more wholesome supermarkets had been affecting their bottom-line profits. The failure of these supermarkets was a comment on consumer response to mass-produced food. Increasingly, we want our food to be natural and closer to what G-d created. This is what Tevye’s Ranch is doing.

Today, we are seeing far better food options and a broader spectrum of food supplies which offer greater choice for the most discernible diner, the family chef and the tiring toddler. Californian shoppers are better educated than

Taste tests overwhelmingly come out in favor of this wholesome alternative. There is “100% Grass Fed” beef from cattle raised entirely on a grass fed diet. There is the higher quality “Never Ever” beef, which is from premium cattle who are never administered hormones or antibiotics. The “USDA Approved Organic Beef” is from cattle who are raised like Never Ever beef but are additionally USDA approved as organic. Then there is “Grain Finished” and “Black Angus” beef which are given grain at the end of their life to create a juicier end

    it takes 4500 acres to produce 80,000 pounds of meat the average american eats 209 pounds of meat per year. if that was all grass fed beef only 382 people could eat that meat. 11.7 acres per person times 314 mil acres in usa which adds up to 3.7 billion acres to raise enough grass for that year and this is only grass fed beef. we would need 3.9 billion acres unfortunately there are only 1.9 billion acres in the us it would take 3 times the amount. so grass fed beef is not sustainable. there is no way to we could use grass feed all the time. We just don't have enough land to use. even if we did we would still be using it all…

The specialty gourmet store has grown into a Fortune-300 company offering specialty foods and locally grown organic produce.1” CNBC goes on to state that even “Established brands like Safeway, Giant Eagle and Kroger are cultural icons as familiar as our own street names, but they are under constant attack from brilliant upstarts like Whole Foods…1” From the general supermarket industry Whole Foods Market breaks down into even a smaller specific industry which is the natural and organic foods industry. This industry focused on proving customers with natural foods which is defined as “foods that are minimally processed, largely or complexly free of artificial ingredients, preservatives and other non natural occurring ingredients; and near to their whole, natural state as possible.7.” Also “organic foods were a special subset of the natural foods category; to be labeled as organic, foods had to be grown and processed without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, synthetic chemicals, artificial fertilizers, preservatives, dyes or additives or generic engenerring.7” Also from the text book CEO John Mackey believes Whole Foods Market has been highly selective for finding the highest quality, least processed, most favorable and naturally preserved foods available.…

    Whole Foods Market was founded 1980 in Austin, Texas by three businessmen who felt that the natural food industry was ready for a supermarket setup. Two separate individual companies, Safer Way Natural Foods and Clarksville Natural Grocery, formed Whole Foods Market. After 27 years of operation, the company has come a long way. Today Whole Foods Market is the leading retailer of natural and organic foods, with 194 stores/locations in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada (wholefoodsmarket.com). The company has been in the Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work for" every year since the list was made up in 1998 (2007 ranked 5th). The cofounder and CEO, John Mackey, believes that the success of the company is due to the unique mission of the company and its application. The mission of the company is "highly selective about what we sell, dedicated to our core values and stringent quality standards and committed to sustainable agriculture." Or another way to say it "the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and naturally preserved foods." (pg C-1)…

    The latest trend or “craze” per say of the twenty first century has been that of organic foods. The U.S market for organic food at one time was growing at a pace of 20% per year, which is significantly greater as compared to the 3-4% of the food sector as a whole. This undeniable growing demand in organic foods caught the attention of Douglas Degn, an executive vice president of the wildly popular organization, Wal-Mart. With the demand of organic products often outstripping supply, Degn was faced with the decision of whether or not to jump on this shortage and give people what they want out of organics from Wal-Mart, or if he should continue to build on the products they already offer to consumers, in order to raise profits. After analyzing the market and production for organic food and reviewing Wal-Marts business strategy, it is recommended that Wal-Mart pass up the temptations of the organic food industry, and should commit their money and energy in improving the products they already offer.…
