A Greener World
Greg, Laurie, Bradley and Lisha Newhall of Windy N Ranch in Ellensburg, WA, are celebrating 10 years of certification with Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW), the leading animal welfare and sustainability label across North America.
The Newhall family achieved Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW certification for their cattle, pigs, meat sheep, meat goats, chickens and chicken eggs in 2011. As one of the most diverse farms in the Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW program, Windy N Ranch has continued to add species to the farm to pursue their vision of the ranch as a one-stop operation that would allow their customers to get all their animal products in one place.
