LUXlife Magazine names American Ostrich Farms as the USA’s 2022 Best Alternative Red Meat Producer

KUNA, Idaho – December 19, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

American Ostrich Farms (AOF) has been named 2022’s Best Alternative Red Meat Producer by LUXLife Magazine in their 7th annual Food & Drink Awards. LUXLife’s awards program recognizes those who offer the best products, finest services, and incredible experiences to their customers. Nominees from across the globe are assessed and judged purely on merit and excellence. 

“We are honored to be recognized as the USA’s Best Alternative Red Meat Producer,” says AOF Founder and CEO Alex McCoy. “This award validates our work to provide a more sustainable, healthful, yet truly gourmet product that is quickly finding its way into some of the nation’s most outstanding dining establishments, as well as home kitchens across the country.”

With the opening of their own USDA-inspected processing plant, AOF closed the gap on its “hatch to harvest” production chain, which allows them to ensure that each and every cut of meat that goes to market is of the utmost quality. At a time when consumers are seeing more plant-based and cultivated protein products hit store shelves, AOF is taking advantage of the ostrich’s unique biology to offer a novel solution to the environmental and health concerns surrounding conventional animal-based products and these newer substitutes. Learn more and view all available products at www.AmericanOstrichFarms.com.

Our flagship family farm is in Idaho’s Snake River Plain and is North America’s largest producer of ostrich, a uniquely sustainable red meat.

The Cedar Suite delivers a consistent and unified experience across the patient journey, from appointment confirmation and price estimates pre-service to final payment post-service. And with the launch of the Payer Intelligence Layer in November, Cedar’s platform consolidates payer and provider data into a single source of information for consumers managing medical bills.

“Our organization’s goals very much align with Cedar’s in that we also aim to make healthcare more affordable and accessible while providing a highly personalized and compassionate patient experience. That’s one of the many reasons we made the strategic decision to invest in Cedar,” said Alec King, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Memorial Hermann. 

“We recognize that the healthcare industry has much room for improvement in the areas of consumer-friendly digital platforms, access and affordability. As part of our strategic investment efforts, we want to support the work of innovative companies who are accomplishing these key objectives,” said Feby Abraham, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for Memorial Hermann.
