Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef Raised Regeneratively
How Our Direct-To-Consumer Beef Business Works
Buying beef directly from a farm is different from buying beef at the grocery store — and it’s normal to have questions.
This page explains:
- How our cattle are raised
- What “grass-fed and grass-finished” really means
- What regenerative grazing looks like in practice
- Why we sell beef directly to families
- What to expect when buying beef from our farm
If you’re new to buying beef direct, this guide is designed to give you a clear, honest explanation — no marketing fluff, no pressure.
What Does “Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished” Mean?
Grass-fed and grass-finished means our cattle eat grass and forage for their entire lives. They are never fed grain, corn, or by-products, even at the end.
On our farm:
- Cattle graze pasture during the growing season
- In colder months, they eat stored forage (hay)
- Their diet is always forage-based
This matters because what cattle eat affects:
- Flavor and texture of the beef
- Fat profile
- How the meat cooks
Grass-finished beef tends to be leaner and has a more natural beef flavor compared to grain-finished beef.
What Regenerative Grazing Looks Like on Our Farm
Regenerative grazing is about working with nature instead of against it.
Rather than leaving cattle in one pasture continuously, we:
- Move cattle through pastures intentionally
- Allow grass time to rest and regrow
- Match herd size to land capacity
This approach supports:
- Healthier soil
- Stronger root systems in grasses
- Better water retention
- Healthier cattle
Healthy land grows better forage. Better forage supports healthier animals. Healthier animals produce better beef.
Regenerative practices aren’t about perfection — they’re about continual improvement and stewardship of the land.
Our No Antibiotics or Hormones Policy
Our cattle are never given growth hormones or routine antibiotics.
We focus on:
- Low-stress handling
- Clean pasture environments
- Nutrition through diverse forage
If an animal ever requires medical treatment, it receives appropriate care — because animal welfare comes first. In those rare cases, that animal is removed from our beef program.
Transparency matters. We believe customers deserve to know how their food is raised.
Why We Sell Beef Directly to Families
Selling beef directly allows us to:
- Maintain control over how our cattle are raised
- Work with trusted processors
- Be transparent about practices and sourcing
- Build relationships with the families who eat our beef
When you buy beef direct, you know:
- Where it came from
- How it was raised
- Who to ask if you have questions
Direct-to-consumer beef isn’t about being trendy — it’s about connection, trust, and accountability.
