Belcampo Is This Week’s Sponsor

Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals. What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out.

In 2012, the 27K acres that would become Belcampo Farm was purchased. In the years since, they have expanded to include their own FDA-approved processing facility, full-service butcher shops, and restaurants serving authentic farm-to-table dining experiences. All this, so that they can own the supply chain and offer their customers total transparency from start to finish. Plus use the link Belcampo.com/artoffatherhood for 20% off your first order.
