How to Direct Market Your Beef portrays how one couple used their
family’s ranch to launch a profitable, grass-based beef operation
focused on direct market sales. Jan and Will Holders’ compelling
real-life experiences, with numerous instructional guideposts along
the way, provide valuable tips for direct marketing beef from slaughtering
to sales. A special Entrepreneurs section features farmers and ranchers
– four of whom received or benefited from Sustainable Agriculture
Research and Education (SARE) program grants – who demonstrate
real-life successes in direct marketing sustainably raised food
in innovative ways. How to Direct Market Your Beef is not a book
about market analysis and theory. See the Resources section for
a list of such materials.
