Cooke's Charitable Cattle Company
Cooke's Charitable Cattle Company (CC Cattle Company) was established in 2020 in response to the urgent need for meat protein during the COVID-19 pandemic. Founded with a strong commitment to addressing food insecurity while supporting community well-being, CC Cattle Company operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families.
Mission Statement: CC Cattle Company is driven by a mission to provide nutritious, sustainably-raised beef to those in need while also offering support and therapeutic services to first responders and veterans through equine therapy.
Key Features:
-
Pasture-Fed Beef Production: At CC Cattle Company, we prioritize ethical and sustainable farming practices. Our cattle are raised on open pastures, where they graze freely on natural grasses, ensuring the highest quality and welfare standards for our animals.
-
Partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank: We are proud to partner with Second Harvest Food Bank to distribute the meat we produce to those facing food insecurity in our community. Through this partnership, we have been able to provide nutritious meals to thousands of individuals and families in need.
-
Community Impact: Despite being a small operation, CC Cattle Company made a significant impact last year by providing food for 1600 people. With our continued growth and expansion efforts, we aim to increase our reach and feed 6000 individuals this year, addressing hunger and promoting food security in our community.
-
Equine Therapy Program: In addition to our core mission of addressing food insecurity, CC Cattle Company is launching an equine therapy program specifically tailored for first responders and veterans. Through interactions with horses, participants will have the opportunity to find healing, support, and camaraderie in a peaceful and nurturing environment.
Vision for the Future: As we continue to grow and expand our operations, CC Cattle Company remains committed to its founding principles of compassion, sustainability, and community service. We aspire to be a beacon of hope and support for those in need while fostering connections and resilience within our community.
Through our dedication to ethical farming practices, philanthropy, and innovative programs like equine therapy, we strive to create a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
