Arizona-grown Pork is high in protein and low in fat! And the pork tenderloin bears the American Heart Association’s “Heart Healthy” certification. So, put some pork chops on the grill this weekend.

Arizona grocery stores are full of local food. It’s in the dairy, meat and egg case and the produce aisle. 53% of the beef in the meat case comes from Arizona ranches, and you’ve eaten leafy greens from Yuma farms in winter.

If you eat beef, you’ll get ZIP: an excellent source of zinc, iron and protein – and vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and niacin. Our Arizona cattle on our ranches will give you ZIP as you eat this delightfully tasty beef.

Every shipment of milk from the farm entering a dairy plant is tested for safety and quality. Federal, state and local regulatory agencies make frequent and unannounced on-site inspections to ensure high-quality and nutritious milk gets to your home.

To get the same amount of protein as 3 ounces of beef, you’d need to eat 7 tablespoons of peanut butter, 670 calories! 3 ounces of beef averages 150 calories. Like the beef raised on Arizona family ranches, eat high-quality, tasty Arizona beef.
