Capra. Read ahead to learn more about what sets the brand apart from traditional protein brands.<\/p>\n<h2>3 reasons to try Mt. Capra goat protein<\/h2>\n<h3>1. It\u2019s ethically made<\/h3>\n<p>The roughly 500 goats that live on the Stout farm graze on pastures that are free of chemicals. Unlike many large dairy farms in the United States, Mt. Capra doesn\u2019t use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforfoodsafety.org\/issues\/1044\/rbgh\/guide-to-rbgh-free-dairy-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.centerforfoodsafety.org\/issues\/1044\/rbgh\/guide-to-rbgh-free-dairy-products\">genetically-engineered hormones<\/a> in order to boost milk production among the goats.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are the goats well-cared for, but the land is, too. The Stout farm employs an eco-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eesi.org\/articles\/view\/the-climate-and-economic-benefits-of-rotational-livestock-grazing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.eesi.org\/articles\/view\/the-climate-and-economic-benefits-of-rotational-livestock-grazing\">rotational grazing<\/a> method, wherein the goats feed across rotating sections of farmland. This method allows the grass, plants, and soil to recover more quickly, preventing the wind and water erosion that commonly occurs with unsustainable farming methods. Every two weeks or so, the goats are rotated to a new section, providing them with fresh land to munch on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a regenerative farm,\u201d explains Combs. \u201cThe belief we&#8217;re going off of is, \u2018you leave the land better than you found it\u2019. We don&#8217;t just put the goats on one section, and allow them to eat until there&#8217;s nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the farm floods or grass is bare, the goats are fed hydroponically-grown <a href=\"https:\/\/mtcapra.com\/the-future-of-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/mtcapra.com\/the-future-of-farming\/\">organic barley fodder<\/a> that\u2019s free of pesticides and antibiotics. This nutrient-dense barely fodder packs more vitamin A than regular grass, and while it\u2019s more expensive to create than traditional livestock feed, providing an optimum diet for the goats is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you feed your livestock is huge,\u201d says Combs.\u201cThe barley fodder gives them a way to still get green, growing grass.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2. They control every aspect of the production process<\/h3>\n<p>The team behind Mt. Capra, unlike some other protein brands, makes decisions on every piece of the production process, from how often the goats are milked to how the powders are packaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe milk is transported about nine miles down the road from the farm to our facility where we pasteurize it, and then separate it out into its different components,\u201d explains Combs. \u201cThen it gets dried on our front window dryer, which uses the refractive property of light, infrared light, and heat to dry the product. It&#8217;s a very different process from freeze-drying or spray-drying; it keeps more of the key nutrition intact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The result? A silky-smooth protein shake that\u2019s packed with as many naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>3. It\u2019s free of additives and pesticides<\/h3>\n<p>Mt. Capra prides itself on being pesticide- GMO- and antibiotic-free, always. This dedication to all-natural, non-toxic production methods is what initially inspired Combs to join the company. Her family discovered the brand after searching high and low for an organic baby formula that was free of unnecessary (and potentially harmful) additives like soy and gluten.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaby formula on the market, even organic, can have other additives like soybean or canola oil, which are often genetically modified, but even not, it can also be too high in omega-6s and be inflammatory,\u201d says Combs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-thin post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
