ABOUT THE BEEF

The beef we raise is mostly grass fed. This makes it leaner and the fat there is, is of a better quality. Grass feeding beef is a more sustainable method because it utilizes land that is unsuitable for other crops and uses it as pasture.

Our beef cattle are never given antibiotics or hormones of any kind. Our beef eat grass during the summer from our organic pasture land. They also get occasional treats in order to keep them tame. These treats may include overgrown squash or daikon radishes and other garden vegetables unsuited to human consumption and our organic field corn. The percentage of the cattle’s diet that is grain is very small. Last winter we fed them hay that was unfortunately not certified organic. This summer we raised a portion of this winter’s hay on our own property and purchased some hay that was grown on land that was free of chemicals for many years. If you have any further questions about how our beef is raised, feel free to ask.

Jeff. Do you want some?
