We offer real grass fed and grass finished organic beef
that is not processed until its peak finished time.
Because we're a small local farm that's in no particular hurry to win any rat races, and because we
don't send our cows to a feedlot to finish on grain like the beef you buy at the grocery store
(instead we send them to lush new pastures right here at their home farm),
and because our supply is limited and demand is high,
you may have to wait a short time for your beef to "fatten up" on grass and be ready for you.
We sell our beef before it goes to the butcher so you must provide a deposit to purchase your beef.
Your share can be a whole, 1/2 or "split half" 1/4. Click on 'How To Buy It' for more details.
We  can deliver to you within a limited area
(based on distance from the farm or the processor)
for an additional fee, based on mileage.
If you're within 100 miles of us you may qualify for delivery. Contact us.
Because folks kept asking for it...
We also have pastured pork, free range turkeys, free range chicken eggs,
farm-raised venison, and home grown horseradish and rhubarb for
tasty condiment sauces for those delicious meats and sides.
Everything we do here is organic and as much space and free range
is allowed our animals as permitted for their own safety.
This gives you the maximum health benefits
from your food that you can find.
Yes, we are "Certified Organic".
We think it's important and if you want to take the time to read why, click here.
In the beginning, we had early roots in a mish mosh of conventional and organic and natural and
survival farming and likely some other guess as we go things thrown in there.
Then we were exposed to and influenced by Joel Salatin.
We tried to model our farming after his methods but they didn't quite work the same for us.

Eventually we became aware that grass fed and finished required more than we initially were led to
believe in order to produce consistently tender juicy beef. We found that others had a better idea of
raising grass fed beef and began following their lead for success. It is indeed a lot more work than
Joel's methods, but the taste and tenderness of the beef is proof that it is the right way to do it.
It's not enough to produce grass fed beef for the health benefits if it doesn't taste good.
We wanted to put out a product worthy of a gourmet label.
And so methods used by Allen Nation, Greg Judy, Jim Gerrish and others like them,
along with a little Joel in there still, are the method of choice for our grass finishing program, as well
as our farming and husbandry principles in general.

And finally, we believe it is important to be 100% organic as well.
No excuses, no ifs, ands, or buts. No exceptions.
If it's grass fed and finished but poison to the consumer or the earth or us, why bother.

And so here we are. Always striving to improve. Certainly eating well along the way.
