Heartfelt Foods Gourmet Pet Treats is located in Northwest California's beautiful Humboldt County where we manufacture organic grass-fed all-beef jerky-stick dog treats. Using only local free-range Humboldt grassfed beef we combine human food-grade ground beef with organic grass-fed beef heart and liver. That's it! What dogs evolved to eat and the reason they have sharp teeth, Meat!

Heartfelt Foods uses nothing but real beef because we believe that dogs were not meant to digest grains, wheat flour, crude protein, or some of the other fillers that you'll find in many pet products. These products have ingredients in them which can, over time, contribute to skin conditions and allergic reactions in your pet. Besides, dogs didn't evolve with sharp teeth so they could eat wheat-flour biscuits!

Our dog treats are so good that there's really no reason you shouldn't try them. Seriously, they're good enough that you can eat them and your dogs will absolutely go nuts for them! There is nothing in our product that people wouldn’t eat themselves, so it has to be a better product for their dogs. Every ounce contains approximately 1/4 pound of beef before cooking!

Heartfelt Foods uses only free-range organic grass-fed beef products to make our treats. There are no hormones, antibiotics, or steroids in our ingredients and we don't use any preservatives or seasonings. They are the closest thing to raw beef that you can give your dog, with no funny stuff. And that’s why we say that Heartfelt Foods is “People Food For Your Pets!” Made from 100% meat with nothing weird.

Treats are a vailable in one and three ounce packages, or you can buy a whole pound. Orders usually ship within two business days. Please visit our website to order.

Walker Creek Ranch offers 100% grassfed locker lambs available from June through October. These are sold as whole carcasses for $3.25 per pound of hanging weight, or $3.50 for half. This includes cutting and packaging to your specifications. Orders usually take about three weeks and can be picked up at the locker in Orland. Shipping can be arranged and is extra. Average dressed weight runs between 40 – 60 pounds. Lamb sausage is also available on request. Orders are taken by phone, fax or e-mail. USDA inspected.

The key to the success of our lambs is that they are naturally adapted to a grazing environment and our climate. We use two breeds, the St. Croix and the White Dorper. Both evolved in hot climates and were selected under grazing conditions for many generations. Animals that are suited to their environment are less likely to suffer stress or develop health problems. Neither breed requires shearing and both are calm and docile in nature. Lambs are raised on pastures that include strawberry clover, Ladino clover, ryegrasses, tonic plantain, chicory and dandelion in a complex mix of forages. Both animals and pastures thrive on a system of frequent moves which give lambs fresh pasture every day or so and allows the forage to regenerate. Lambs are provided with free choice salt/mineral mix only, with no hormones or antibiotics.

We think you'll be impressed with the mild flavor and tenderness of our lamb and we hope you'll tell your friends.

Our grass finished lamb and mutton carcasses are very lean and yet remain tender and tasty. Our geese are pasture raised with some grain for optimum health. Our chickens range outside eating a variety of plants, insects, worms, and grain supplements.

The James Ranch faced a fork in the road in 1992. Should the three families living on the land turn the land into a golf course and housing development for the rapidly growing Durango community, or should they devote themselves to grassfarming instead? The land had been in the James family since 1961, the family was very attached to it, and the third generation was just coming up. After spending two years considering all aspects—most importantly the impact on the family and grandchildren—they chose grassfarming.

Today their many grateful customers rely on their grassfed beef. The beef is available by mail and you are invited to view our website to place an order.

Grandmother's Farm is a natural sustainable grass based farm cared for by my wife and I with our seven children. The farm name is a tribute to "Bami," the children's grandmother, who loved the beauty of the farm and having her grandchildren be part of it with her.

We offer brown eggs year around from happy hens that forage on all-natural pastures. Duck eggs will be available in the fall of 2004. Pastured poultry—chickens and turkeys—are available October through June and must be pre-booked well in advance of pick up. Although we are not certified organic, all of our pastures are managed organically and we do not use hormones, steroids, antibiotics or chemical wormers in our production. Our pastures are fertilized and kept pest-free strictly by organic methods.

Pure, raw, organically produced honey is available most of the summer. We also offer pure maple syrup that comes from a family farm in New Hampshire that uses no formaldehyde in their production. There are limited amounts of grassfed lamb available and we are increasing the flock for greater availability. We have premium quality, guaranteed tender, grassfed and grass finished beef available by the cut for shipping to your door—anywhere in the United States. Depending on the time of year, you may also find organically grown herbs, vegetables, hanging baskets, Stevia, and fruit, flowering and rare trees.

Other than the grassfed beef, all of our products are picked up here at the farm so e-mail us for an availability list. Visitors are always welcome—just call first to make sure we are available. For those of you in Florida, we now offer organic landscape management and pasture restoration services under the name GrassWorks. We can get you off the water polluting and health destroying monthly chemical spray and fertilization treadmill.

Lava Lake Lamb is 100% natural Idaho grass-fed lamb – never placed in a feed lot, never given any hormones, never given antibiotics.

Our lambs graze with their mothers and continue to drink mother’s milk all their lives, getting important antibodies for good health and vitality, and making the best-tasting meat. Lava Lake’s lambs also spend most of their lives grazing on wild, fragrant range grasses, herbs and other plants, as Nature intended.

Raised with care by our experienced shepherds, our lambs are truly “free-range.” Traveling from the deserts of the Snake River Plain to the high mountains near Sun Valley, our animals log hundreds of miles during their lifetimes – they are never confined in feedlots. The result is meat that is lean yet tender and flavorful – we think you’ll find it the best you’ve tasted.

Our headquarters is Lava Lake Ranch, located just southeast of Sun Valley in Idaho’s Pioneer Mountains. As a family of ranchers and environmentalists, we are committed to restoring and preserving this land because of its history, its beauty and its biological diversity. We are so committed to this principle that all net profits from our grass-fed lamb sales help fund our land conservation work.

Lava Lake Lamb is available year-round and can be purchased by individual cuts, halves or wholes and shipped anywhere in the U.S. It is USDA-inspected, dry-aged for ten days, then frozen and cryovaced to retain its freshness and flavor.

To place an order, or for more information, visit our website or contact us at (208) 788-9778.

SkyLines Farm is located in remote northern Idaho, about an hour's drive from Moscow. Since 1992 we've been carefully building a flock that now numbers 100+ superbly healthy, vigorous, Romney and Romney-X sheep. The flock produces exquisite handspinning fleeces and delicately-flavored, lean, delicious grassfed lamb.

The SkyLines sheep have always been hand raised, using organic methods that exceed even the USDA's organic standards. Absolutely no antibiotics are used, or growth or fertility hormones, vaccinations, or pesticides like de-lousing agents or chemical wormers. Nature's miracle herb garlic figures heavily in our organic management program (some think this could be one reason our lamb tastes so good!).

SkyLines lambs spend the entire summer alongside their mothers, freely grazing the farm's lush green pastures. Our intensive rotational grazing program ensures that the sheep are always dining on "salad bar fresh" greens, so lambs easily reach market weight on mom's milk and grass alone. They receive no grains or feed supplements.

A team of Great Pyrenees guard dogs patrol the farm 24/7, providing excellent predator-friendly protection for the flock.

Whole or half lamb available September & October, but reserve your lamb early. Free delivery on local orders, out-of-area orders shipped second-day air.

Visit SkyLines' extensive website for much more detail.

Solina Farms of Idaho sells only Premium, Natural, Grass Fed Beef.

Since 1999, Solina Farms has raised grass fed steers on Boise River bottom pastures, using no pesticides or chemicals to ensure our children are eating healthy meat products. We feed only unsprayed alfalfa and grass hays from local ranchers who are also committed to all-natural values. We use cross-fencing and rotational paddock grazing to increase river bottom grass vigor and we control weeds without herbicides.

All Solina Farms steers come from registered Scottish Highland cattle. Scottish Highlands are a pure breed of hardy heritage cattle. Grass fed Highland beef has tested lower in cholesterol than buffalo. By comparison, commercial, grain finished beef, buffalo, and Highland beef tests show 3 times the cholesterol over grass fed beef. Naturally foraging Highlands have a deep, red color and a rich, complex flavor. Our grass-fed, Highland beef is deep red in color, heart-healthy and delicious. Highlands also have the largest ribeye in the industry.

Solina Farms is a member of AHCA (American Highland Cattle Association) and the AHCA Quality Beef Program. We are committed to the same natural, humane pasturing and handling practices still used by Highland cattle farmers in Scotland today. Solina Farms and our AHCA breeder partners comply with the AHCA Quality Beef program contract and our own ethics which require humane handling; no usage of antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or non-vegetarian feeds; slaughter before 36 months of age; and a minimum of 14 days hanging time to ensure quality, tender, delicious beef.

Natural, grass feed Highland beef is available from Solina Farms no less than 4 times per year in limited quantities. We will deliver in the Boise area, or make special arrangements for shipping if you live outside of this area. Please call or email so we can understand your values and workout the details of your needs. This is delicious, premium beef.

The Koether Ranch offers grassfed beef on a year-round basis. We have been organic since 1985, but are not certified. We prefer to sell quarters or split halves, but we sell individual packages as well. We usually ship frozen meat 2nd Day Air in special containers.

Our goal is to provide the best possible care and diet for our animals so that our customers can get the healthiest possible meat. The cattle never eat grain. They eat fresh grass from April thru November and winter on dry hay. They are fed a combination of kelp, minerals, and refined natural salt year- round. We complete the cattle's life cycle with humane slaughter. They are killed in our corral while standing quietly and then are hauled to the processing facility. This prevents any unnecessary stress on the animal.

We usually harvest our beef in late October – early November when the animals are 16 months old. We like to have large orders placed prior to slaughter, but we try to keep a supply of frozen meat on hand year-round.

Recently we added lamb, goat and broiler chickens as well. For any further details, please feel free to call anytime.

Tallgrass Beef is a pure, natural product of the Great American Prairie. Founded by Bill Kurtis—journalist, rancher, conservationist, and proud owner of The Red Buffalo Ranch in Sedan, Kansas—Tallgrass Beef Company is raising cattle that roam in the open and graze on natural grasses rich in nutrients and high in anti-oxidants. The result is beef that's rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, high in Vitamin E, higher in beneficial unsaturated fat, and lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. You can taste the difference.

Tallgrass works with independent, family-owned farms and ranches to raise cattle in their grass-fed, grass-finished program. Their beef is sold in restaurants, select specialty food and grocery stores, and through their website. Although their office is in Kansas, they are primarily marketing and selling in Illinois.

Colcord Farms–Blue Grass Finished Beef® dedicates 630 acres to raising grass and clover for their 400–500 black steers. "Our calves come to the farm in the fall soon after they are weaned. In April, they begin to grow rapidly on the springtime nourishing grasses and clovers. No pesticides or herbicides are used on the forage. The grass grows naturally without being pumped up with nitrogen fertilizer. The steers move from field to field with new pasture every few days. The water flows from the farm springs, wells, and ponds with no added chemicals. The slow movement across the rich fields means they can be finished as succulent marbled beef without any grain. The fresh grass gives them a healthy balance of fat and lean and special flavor."

The beef is USDA-approved for supply to restaurants, retail outlets, and direct sale to consumers. Look for it in Lexington, KY at the Good Foods Co-Op and at the Blue Moon Farm stall at the Lexington Farmers Market. In Louisville, KY the beef is sold at the three Rainbow Blossom stores.

Sides of beef are available at the processing plant. (Call for more information.) Refrigerated transport is available to supply retail outlets in Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Chase Hill Farm: The Organic Farmstead Cheese from Chase Hill Farm is handcrafted in small batches from fresh top quality raw milk. We use exclusively the organic-certified milk from our own herd of grassfed cows. Our Original Farmstead Cheese is mild like a Colby or Havarti cheese, but with a unique flavor that retains the "character" of our raw milk. Our cheese has a sweet, creamy flavor and a buttery yellow color that comes from our green grass. We also make a Farmstead Cheese with Garlic, some with Chives, Cheddar, and recently started making 1/2 lb. Organic Camembert rounds.

Chase Hill Farm is an organic-certified family farm in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. Mark and Jeannette Fellows manage the farm as a grass-based seasonal dairy. Our mission is to produce quality local food from grassfed cows using sustainable low input practices. These practices include rotational grazing, seasonal calving, and using draft horsepower.

Our herd of 30 Jersey, Normandy and Holstein cows milk seasonally from March to December. We feed organic grain for about 8 weeks from calving until grass is ready here in northern Massachusetts, but the rest of the year cows are 100% grassfed.

Our Organic Farmstead Cheeses are available in local stores and farmstands in western Massachusetts, and in some of the Boston-area Bread & Circus stores. We also ship our cheeses. Wheels run around 8 lbs. each. Cost: $50/wheel plus $10/UPS shipping.

Earth Shine Farm is a small, sustainable, family-run farm that cuts no corners in providing healthy food, while treating our animals and the environment with the utmost respect.

Our Gourmet Heirloom Chickens are Barred Plymouth Rocks, the first breed admitted to the American Poultry Association well over 150 years ago. They look, behave, and taste like their ancestors did. In fact, they taste so deliciously different that one food writer claimed they shouldn’t even be called chicken!

We raise our chickens on Michigan’s Saginaw Valley pastures following the meticulous and humane French Label Rouge standards. They live on the natural delicacies they forage, along with certified-organic feed we grind fresh weekly to ensure maximum nutritional value. We set our birds out immediately, not even waiting a week before introducing them to grass, where they remain for a minimum of 84 days. They’re processed on-farm using the ‘air chill’ method that not only yields a superior product, but is also cleaner, less contamination-prone, and more environmentally sound.

Unless you’re over a century-and-a-half old (and if so, kudos!), we believe you’ve never tasted chicken like ours. Purebred Barred Rocks like ours are a rare bird indeed. They don’t grow on trees, but they sure love to roost in ‘em.

Visit our website and see what some truly great chefs and gourmands have to say about Earth Shine Farm Chickens. We ship fresh-frozen.

Blackberry Ridge, LLC Eco-Farm & Ranch is owned and operated by one small family. We started five years ago to create a Bio-diverse, Biodynamic, Organic, Sustainable, and Permiculture Eco-system—a self-contained farm where the animals fertilize the land and the resulting living soil and grasslands feed the animals.

We have introduced eight different animal species to roam our land. Many are Heritage or endangered breeds. These include: 100% GrassFed Galloway Cattle and Sheep (fiber, meat, and milk); Free-Range, Pastured Hogs, Chickens, and Turkeys; Horses; and Great Pyrenees guard Dogs.

As members of the Cherokee Tribe, we work in Harmony with the wildlife in our woods to increase wild habitat and bio-diversity. We have encouraged the re-growth of native vegetation, and will add more diverse plants each year, creating a permiculture. The animals have opportunity to eat the foods they would eat in the wild, while finding the most pure, Certified Organic sources for any feed we must give. We feed NO Grain to our Beef and Lamb!

NO ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIPARISITES, ADDED HORMONES, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, or ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS

Optimum health is achieved by humane treatment (we don’t ‘cut’ our animals), fresh grass, herbs, sunshine and air, and a reliance on nature before we intervene. We believe this creates optimum nourishment in the foods that we nourish ourselves with and optimum life in the environment we live in.

Galloway beef rated #1 in taste and #2 in tenderness by UW tests. It is USDA processed and dry aged for 18 days by a small family butcher, then cut and froze individually. Purchase our meats at our farm, at Natural Food Stores in LaCrosse, WI and in the Minneapolis area. Shipping is available.

Green Pastures Dairy, owned and operated by the Hedquist Family, offers Minnesota Farmstead™ 100% grass-fed, all natural, raw milk cheese. Spring through fall we milk our totally grass-fed cows and use this highly nutritious milk to make our hand-crafted cheeses.

Cows are ruminant animals with a digestive system designed to utilize forage, so we don't feed any grain to our cows. They are given fresh, new pasture daily. No herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers are ever used on any of our pastures, and no hormones or antibiotics are used in our herd.

As a result of these practices, our milk is high in CLA, natural vitamins, and has a balanced fatty acid ratio. All of our cheeses are carefully made to maintain and maximize the nutrition and quality of our milk.

Our cheese is made never heating the milk over 100F in order to retain all the natural enzymes and ensure the availability of milks' health giving nutrients, making it a true raw milk cheese.

Our cheese is made from milk that is not altered in any way. It is never pasteurized, homogenized, or standardized. It is all aged a minimum of 60 days, with the some aged as long as 4 years. Our cheeses are available year round. Orders may be placed by phone, or online. We ship throughout the US every week. Also for local customers we offer raw milk May through September, 100% grass-fed ground beef, and pasture and whey-fed pork.

Our hogs are also raised outside in the fresh air, on pasture and in wooded areas. They are fed a certified organic mixture of corn and soy with kelp and minerals as a supplement. We raise Duroc X hogs and a heritage variety call mule foots. They frequently receive garden scraps as a treat.

Our poultry is free range in the truest sense. The chickens, ducks and turkeys roam the pastures during the day and are kept cooped at night.

We will deliver 100+ lb. orders free within 60 miles of the farm. Farm pickup is available by appointment. We will also ship—fees vary, please call any time.

We are also at the Mankato Farmers Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays during the season, and the Albert Lea Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the season.

Pure Pasture Beef. On our five-generation family farm of rolling Missouri hills, tree-shaded pastures, spring-fed ponds, waterfalls, and a winding stretch of the Little Sac River, we raise all-natural 100% grass and clover-fed, pasture-finished beef cattle from a closed herd of original Black Angus stock started here 30 years ago. Those years of experience have honed to perfection a premium, natural beef (free of antibiotics, hormones, and animal by-products) that we're pleased to offer as top of the line.

Pure Pasture Beef is for people with the highest standards of quality and safety, who believe that informed food choices can enhance their physical well-being and enrich their everyday lives. Pure Pasture Beef is processed locally in a USDA Missouri certified organic facility, going from farm to table.

Practicing a sustainable approach to cattle management and land use here in the heart of Ozark Mountain foothills country, we rotate our cattle from one pasture to the next on a regular basis so they're grazing on clean, fresh grass (along with roaming bands of white-tailed deer and wild turkey). We cut and bale our own red clover, alfalfa, orchard grass and brome that we feed as hay in the winter; we feed the salt and minerals; we monitor all animal health; we check the water; we wean the babies. We do it all ourselves. Nothing gets between us and our cattle.

A farmer his whole life, Jim practiced law for thirty years to help support the cattle habit he's had since being born into a dairy family over fifty years ago. As President and CEO of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, Jim writes and speaks frequently about agricultural issues here and abroad. Nancy, a Seattle transplant and former college English teacher, supervises the daily farm operations, takes care of the kids, and raises Missouri Fox Trotting horses.

Ferry Creek Ranch is a 560-acre ranch located on the Yellowstone River where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. It is one of the oldest ranches in the state, and our buildings are on the National Historic Trust register.

We raise grass-finished Galloway beef and the ranch was certified organic by the Organic Certification Association of Montana (OCAM) in 2002. No chemicals of any sort are used on the land or the livestock, and they only consume grass and our own hay. The animals have a natural life, sharing the land with an abundance of wildlife.

Steers are harvested in the summer at 24–30 months of age when the grass cycle is at its peak and the CLA content is at its highest. Processing is done at a local government-inspected facility, and the meat is dry aged for 14 days. This flavorful, healthy meat is seasonally available in 25-pound sampler boxes. Ground beef, meat snack sticks, and jerky are also available. Our products can be purchased at the ranch or sent frozen by Next Day Air. Visitors and inquiries are always welcome.

La Cense Beef® is all natural and 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef. Our quality approach begins with the La Cense Master Ranchers at the 88,000 acre La Cense Montana Ranch located in Dillon, Montana.

Like many organic beef producers, La Cense Beef® is allowed to gain weight naturally. Black Angus cattle are raised to an age of about 18 months without hormones, spending their lives grazing solely pesticide free, natural pastures.

Our all grass-fed beef is not produced from cattle raised by a consortium of other ranchers. In this manner, La Cense is able to oversee quality production and adherence to its standards for humane care, as well as ensure that La Cense Black Angus cattle roam free and are never crowded, which reduces the chance of contamination or transmission of disease.

La Cense free range, grass-fed beef is dry aged for 19 days to round out flavor and enhance tenderness and then hand cut and trimmed with care by skilled artisan butchers. Your order of La Cense dry aged prime meat is immediately frozen and vacuum-packed at the time of processing at a USDA certified plant, to ensure that you receive the highest quality Black Angus dry aged beef online.

Natural grass-fed beef from La Cense can be purchased year-round in a variety of gourmet cuts via the web at www.LaCenseBeef.com or call 1-866-442-2333. All orders placed can be shipped overnight or two-day air.

Nebraska

The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company - Marlowe Farm's is a small grass based farm located in the hills of Northern Nebraska. The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company was owned and operated by my family from 1936-1993. I am in the process of resurrecting it. Hogs and cattle were a part the family business.

I moved onto this farm in August of 2003. I raise cattle, sheep and pigs. All animals are raised on pasture. Cattle and sheep are fed exclusively grass and a limited amount of hay in the winter months. The cows, sheep and pigs are rotated through a series of paddocks. The pigs are fed varying amounts of grain depending on class. Sows and gilts graze/forage for the bulk of their diet with some corn fed as an energy supplement and to keep them docile. Growing pigs are fed a ground corn/soybean ration. Low-grain pork and No-grain pork are available upon request.

By keeping livestock in the pastures manure is spread evenly across the ground. What manure is collected around the barns is spread on my poorest ground. I'm hoping the application of manure to my poorest ground will in time make it some of my best ground.

At this time I only have pork available for sale. I do ship.

JX RANCH is a family owned and operated cattle ranch located in Eastern New Mexico, along the Caprock, a steep escarpment that traverses the ranch. Here our cattle graze on native pastures year-round, under Holistic Range Management, with minimal human involvement. Our cattle are never given any growth-hormones, animal by-products or antibiotics of any kind and remain on the range from birth to processing. We still use horses to gather and move the cattle in our rotational grazing program, in a no-stress manner.

Our Longhorn cows are hardy, thrifty, resourceful, and through natural selection over the centuries, are naturally adapted to the arid lands of New Mexico. They are efficient converters of available forage to energy producing lean muscle, with little waste in fat and high in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. We breed these Longhorn cows to Charolais bulls, and the end result is a lean yet very tender beef for your freezer.

You can purchase JX Ranch Natural Beef as ¼, ½ or whole beef, and in order to keep it simple for our customers, we offer a “JX Ranch Package” where cuts are pre-selected as per our own choice of cuts, and an “Order Form” where you choose your cuts yourself. In addition, we take care of the transportation to the processor (Fort Sumner Processing), where you can either pick up the dry-aged, packaged-to-your-specifications and frozen meat yourself, or we arrange for shipment to you via FedEx nationwide.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, or stop by to meet us and see the ranch.

Our cattle graze year-round on native grasses on our open range pastures. We believe in sustainable grassland management and use rotational grazing practices. We gather our calves on horseback in the fall and are committed to the preservation of the Western ranching tradition. Our calves get no grain, hormones or antibiotics; they are never confined to a feedlot. They are humanely handled at the Ranch and by Fort Sumner Processing, a family-owned, fully certified processor.

Our customers are pleased by the taste and tenderness of our beef. It is low in fat and cholesterol, high in the vitamins, CLA's and omega fatty acids found in fully grass-fed/grass-finished beef.

We offer half and full beeves for sale on our website or by directly contacting Nancy Ranney via e-mail. Our beef is dry-aged and packaged to customer specifications. We ship FedEx nationwide. A half beef yields approximately 100 lbs. and fits in a large cooler.

RidgeRun Enterprises, LLC offers LeanAndTender™ grass-fed Longhorn beef to customers throughout the United States, including Steaks, Roasts, Jerky, Brats, Sausage, Gift Packs and more through our website.

Our naturally raised grass-fed beef products are prepared from Longhorn cattle specially raised by our family-owned and operated RidgeRun Ranch, located on the high plains grasslands of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico—USA!

We use no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or animal by-products. For all the details, please see our Web page: "What We Do – What We Don't Do"

We personally attest to both the care of the cattle and the preparation of the product. We transport the cattle to a small, USDA inspected processing plant. Our custom, all-beef sausage products are prepared with natural seasonings at a small, family owned shop, which is also USDA inspected.

Why Longhorns? In the "Old West," around 1865, cowboys were fighting the Civil War. The American Longhorns had to fend for themselves on the open range and "survival of the fittest" was nature's way. They became naturally hardy and lean. They are the same today, and the beef is tender and delicious. Please visit our website today!

Shepherd's Lamb is a family operation that grows certified organic lamb in the old tradition, moving with the seasons. This allows the ewes and lambs access to fresh feed at all times and ensures the long-term good health of the range.

Lambs are born on the spring range, and then the band is trailed to high mountain pastures where they graze all summer on lush native mountain grasses, forbs, and shrubs.

Our product is available year round in limited quantities. We sell whole, half or individual cuts of lamb at Farmers Markets, to natural food stores, and to restaurants in New Mexico, and by mail order to anywhere else! Orders can be placed by phone or e-mail. See our website for more details.

spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC, sells grass-fed, all-natural buffalo meat.

We have raised bison since 1998 on Trinchera Pass, NM. We handle them as little as possible, and guarantee they are not subject to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. For numerous customers with various diseases bison is the only choice for (red) meat. Bison meat is heart-healthy and recommended to patients (see “The Dakota Diet” written by Dr. K. Weiland, and the American Heart Association). It’s the best diet for athletes (high in protein), women (lots of iron), kids and seniors (essential fatty acids, low fat).

Bison meat tastes great. Bison is naturally juicy and tender and can be interchanged with beef in almost any recipe. A lower temperature should be used as bison is very lean and will cook more quickly. It has nutritional advantages over other meats—you get more protein with fewer calories and less fat. There is less shrinking in your pan because of no marbling fat.

We process our bison at a USDA inspected facility. After 10-14 days hanging the carcass is cut in custom packages and frozen. We sell the meat mostly by the pound, but also sell quarters, halves and whole carcasses. Customers can pick up their meat at the ranch or get free delivery to Trinidad and Raton. We ship interstate for an additional fee. In July/August we sell at the Farmers' Market in Trinidad, CO.

We always hand out cooking tips and recipes to our customers.
For any questions you’re welcome to call (575) 278-2316.

Fox Hill Farm is 315 scenic, rolling acres in Ancramdale, New York just 2 hours north of NY City, in the foothills of the Berkshires of MA, CT and near the Taconic Parkway. We raise grassfed & grassfinished beef in an environmentally sustainable manner with rotational grazing of heritage breeds of British White, Murray Grey, Red Devon and crosses. They are very tame and raised organically but not yet certified.

The farm is protected from development by a conservation easement and has been in the Lampman family since 1882. The heritage breeds were chosen because of their ability to do well on grass and produce a healthy and tender, tasty product high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids.

¼’s, ½’s or whole beef custom cuts are prepared to customer specifications. We also sell and ship individual packages of steaks, roasts, burger and now terrific hot dogs (PaPa Dogs) that are all-beef, no-nitrate, with a natural casing.

All processing is done at small, local USDA inspected facilities. However, if an animal is purchased on the hoof in advance, then the most humane, ‘end’ can be arranged for at the farm. Shipping is available.

Visitors are welcome.

Flying Pigs Farm offers pork chops, tenderloin, roasts, bacon, ham and Sun-Dried Tomato and Chardonnay Sausage. Our pork is much more moist and flavorful than supermarket meat. It's different because we raise heritage breeds of pigs the old-fashioned way.

The pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, with plenty of room to roam on our fields and in our woods. Because they have so much space and because we move them often, the land stays clean and the pigs stay healthy. The pigs snack on grass, weeds, and roots that grow on our land, and they also eat dried, ground grains.

Our pigs are "Large Blacks," Glouestershire Old Spots," and "Tamworths," old-fashioned breeds in danger of extinction. It may seem odd to use these breeds for pork because they are so rare, but they will not survive unless a market for these animals can be created. Breeders can then afford to expand their herds and expand the population.

We ship across the country. Look for us in the spring and fall at the Grand Army Plaza and Tribeca Greenmarkets in New York City. Visitors are welcome to pitch in at our fledgling farm on the Battenkill—but please call first!

Our lamb, pork, poultry, and free-range eggs are available from the farm or shipped overnight at the customer's expense anywhere in the US.

Our 100 ewe flock produces lambs that are mother-fed and pasture-raised.

During the winter, the sheep remain on pasture but are supplemented with hay mown from our fields and vegetable-based grains. We believe strongly in managing a stress-free environment for our animals. We prefer to work within the parameters of their natural habitat and cycles, rather than attempting to replicate an ecosystem in a controlled, barn setting.

Our lamb is available by the cut, or whole and half directly from the farm year round. Our poultry is available seasonally by reservation from May through October.

The result is tasty, low fat meat with higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acid, CLA and Beta-carotene.

Our Dorpers graze year-round through careful selection of grasses with legumes that produce nitrogen and reduce the need for commercial fertilizer. Ponds and wetlands are fenced out to protect soil and water quality. Fresh deep well water is provided from frost-free water troughs. Our flock is guarded from predators by llamas and Akbash-Marrema dogs. We use no chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, hormones or antibiotics, and our meat is USDA-inspected, Halal and NCDA-licensed for handling and transport.

You are invited to visit the farm and purchase delicious healthy meat, feed the llamas, and enjoy the pleasant country atmosphere. If you are unable to visit us, we will ship to you in fast-frozen vacuum packs. We offer your favorite cuts individually packaged, whole or halves.

Canal Junction Natural Meats & Farmstead Cheese is a grass based farming operation where we believe in raising our animals for food the way that God intended them to be raised. We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk.

The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in.

We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself.

We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask. The cheese we will ship, the meat must be bought through the farm store. We do have a wholesale price for the cheese for any retailers or restaurant owners. Cheeses available: Cheddar, Colby, Jack, Garlic & Herb, Jack & Dill, Pepper Jack, Italian Herb, Black Swamp Gouda, Miami Erie Canal Swiss, Wabash Erie Canal Gruyere, and Canal Junction Blue (will be ready in late March of '08).

Meat is also offered in bulk. Beef is available by the whole, half, quarter, or half of a half. Pork and lamb are offered by the whole or half. Unless other arrangements are made, it is the customer's responsibility to pick up bulk orders from the butcher shop once the order is finished.

At Green Grass Farms, our philosophy is to grow healthy, quality meat in the most natural and environmentally sustainable manner we can. For us, this means that we move our animals to new paddocks of fresh grass everyday. This method has advantages for the animals, the land, and for you.

Our animals enjoy a healthy grass diet out on pasture in the fresh air and sunshine. The land is fertilized by the carefully managed cycle of sun-grass-animal-manure-soil. Our customers' health benefits from the high nutrient quality of the grassfed meat, while their conscience benefits from the knowledge that our animals are raised naturally with care and respect. We use no growth hormones, no subtherapeutic antibiotics, and no herbicides or pesticides on our pasture land ever.

We offer Green Grass Beef Quarters (80–100 pounds) and Green grass whole lambs (25–35 pounds). Our animals are processed at a state inspected facility and are cut and wrapped in 1–3 pound packages. The meat is fresh and shipped via UPS in coolers directly to your door. Home delivery is offered in Athens County and through the Athens County CSA.

Our cattle graze year-round and are supplemented with hay and grass silage when grass is not available. None of the livestock are given antibiotics or growth hormones.

Beef and pork can be purchased in bulk or by the cut. Shipping is available.

North Valley Farm is a specialty producer of pasture raised lamb in Yamhill County, the heart of Oregon wine country.

The breeds we raise, Romneys and Lincolns, are known for their ability to produce tender, mild flavored lamb on a diet of native grasses. We market only lambs born and bred on our farm which means we know what they and their mothers have eaten for their entire lives.

By using intensive rotational grazing on our lush green pastures, we allow the grass to rest in between grazings and reduce the need for frequent worming. We produce our own grass hay and purchase alfalfa from a farmer down the road, as part of our own effort to buy locally.

When you purchase North Valley Farm lamb, you are guaranteed a great tasting product, slaughtered and cut to order at a local USDA facility. At this time, we offer lamb by the whole or the half and customers can provide us with specific cutting instructions.

We deliver to the Portland metro area and can ship anywhere in the US via UPS and Fed Ex. Farm pick up and visits are always welcome.

Natural Acres is a 550-acre certified organic farm located in Millersburg, PA. From our farm, we provide organic, grass-fed Black Angus beef, pasture-raised organic chickens, and organic eggs. We use mineral-rich, balanced soils, as well as organic and ecologically sound farming practices to produce healthy organic foods and meats.

Our cows are bred on our farm, where their calves are born. They remain with their mothers on our pastures. As they get older, they start eating pasture grass, and eventually are weaned from their mother's milk. They continue to eat as much grass as they desire.

When our beef cattle reach an optimum weight and age to assure peak flavor and tenderness, they are humanely slaughtered in a certified organic, USDA-inspected facility. There, the meat is processed and each individual package is vacuum sealed to maintain its flavor and quality.

Willow Springs Farm has been farmed for 13 years without artificial chemicals of any kind. In trying to farm in harmony with nature, we raise everything on native pasture with the seasons. We are committed to preserving our land as well as raising healthy, quality food for ourselves and others.

We raise sheep, chickens, and rabbits. Currently we have a limited supply of aged raw sheep milk cheese (cracked pepperjack) pastured chickens (frozen) and rabbit. Our rabbits are currently raised in a building, but we are working on a pasture growing system for this summer. Our lambs are raised on pasture, no grain. Our sheep milk is produced entirely from pasture. Due to cost and availability, our chickens do receive non-organically grown feed, but with no hormones or antibiotics, and are moved to fresh pasture 1–2 times daily.

Processing of all products is done by hand by local small family operations. Fresh products are available from June through October by pre-order. Frozen chicken, rabbit, and lamb are available year round. Call, write or e-mail for price and availability. We will ship, but love to have our customers visit to share the beauty of our farm.

Caw Caw Creek Pastured Pork is proud to introduce to today's markets the delicious flavor of the pastured pork that your grandparents knew and loved. Our production is different from most other pig farms:

Our pigs are allowed to roam freely, socialize, and engage in instinctive pig behaviors such as rooting, wallowing, and foraging.
Our sows are not crated. Instead they give birth naturally and express their maternal behavior by building nests.
We rotate our pigs through the pasture and the woods. The have free access to water and feed in their paddocks.
There are no animal by-products in our feed.
No hormones or routine antibiotics are given to our pigs.
Our farm has no waste issues, no waste lagoons. Manure is returned to the soil where it builds fertility.
Our pork is selected for a high percentage of intramuscular fat, like a choice steak. Regular pork is dry and flavorless. Our pork is the other RED meat!

Visit our website for more information or give us a call. We ship all across the USA.

Oaklyn Plantation Free Range Chicken and Beef is pleased to offer pastured chickens and turkeys and grassfed beef. We ship our products to most parts of the United States but it is most economical for the eastern half of the country.

Given the climate of the southeast we are able to raise our product year round. Our cattle are born and raised on the farm and are mostly Hereford, Angus and now with a little Jersey mixed in. The poultry receive a ration of grains (primarily non-GM) and a vitamin mix based on Kelp meal and some fish meal for protein. They get no antibiotics, coccidiostats or artificial growth promotants.

Visit our website or call us. Farm visits are by appointment only.

These healthy cows do not stay in one area. They constantly move around so they can graze in new pastures. The cows receive fresh well water from natural springs and are humanely treated. They even receive plenty of protection during inclement weather.

It is the most tender, delicious beef!

All my life I have been treating my cows and my land this way. I love the farmer's life, my children, and my wife.

Cliff's Homegrown Beef sells pampered grass finished beef by the 1/2, 1/4, and Bundle. We truck locally, or ship UPS from the South Dakota/Minnesota border area.

Our beef start life on the native prairies and once weaned move to high quality, high energy, grass alfalfa mix or similar quality winter forage. Our beef is free of hormone implants, and antibiotics. The SOILS here in South Dakota are geologically young, being from the most recent Wisconsin glacial advance. They are still rich in trace minerals that today have been leached out of older more weathered soils. The cattle get supplemental salt and minerals, but much is provided to the plants by the soil and of course from the plants to the animals.

The cattle here are from moderate framed older style genetics. Small groups that survived the shift to mass-produced feed lot beef during the past 30 years. The thing I like best about this system is what it means to the animal. A feedlot is dust and flies, or mud and muck, shoulder to shoulder at the feed bunk. Nature is not always kind, but it is life closer to what was meant to be.

Dakota Harvest Farm is located in very extreme South Dakota, a few miles away from both Iowa and Nebraska. Dakota Harvest Farm raises Dorper lambs in a natural environment. Dorpers are a “hair” sheep rather than wool breed and are specially developed for the quality of their meat.

All of our lambs are born and raised naturally with their mothers on our pastures so we can guarantee that they’re healthy. They spend their time on pastures getting plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and clean water as they roam. In the winter months, they are fed alfalfa hay, also grown on our farm, to provide them with optimum nutrition and health. In turn, they produce a lean, healthy, nutrient dense and protein rich meat.

We don’t administer growth hormones or antibiotics. We do not feed any animal byproducts. We do not apply artificial fertilizers or chemicals on our pastures.

Our specialty items include Lamb Filet Mignon, Lamb Summer Sausage, and Smoked Leg of lamb. Other lamb products are:

· Leg of Lamb (boneless)
· Lamb Chop
· Shanks
· Spare Ribs
· Shoulder Chop
· Ground Lamb

We do ship our fresh lamb to your house.

Maveric Heritage Ranch Co. is dedicated to raising endangered breeds of livestock, in the manner that nature intended. Animals at Maveric are raised with respect, compassion and healthy doses of attention. Most are known by name and personality.

All animals are raised on no-spray, rotational grazing pastures, lush with a variety of grasses, clovers and native plants. Our form of grazing—one species after another—enables us to fully utilize the forage available, as well as control parasites, weeds and erosion. This enhances the quality of the meat while renewing the natural environment. Winter feeding consists of hay from our own property. We do not feed any hormones, growth stimulants, antibiotics, animal by-products or unnatural ingredients. Beef is strictly grass/alfalfa fed. Hogs, goats & sheep eat a diet of pasture and supplemental vegetables, grains, & beet pulp. Mineral supplements for all breeds include Sea kelp, diatomaceous earth, molasses and trace minerals.

Heritage Breeds available at Maveric:
Belted Galloway Cattle, Mulefoot Hogs, Guinea Hogs, Hereford Hogs, Jacob Sheep & LaMancha Dairy goats.

Rosebud Beef Ranch, a small family-owned ranch in south central South Dakota, can provide you with tender, healthily grass-fed beef in split half's, half's, and wholes. Our local locker, which meets state and federal regulations, can process and ship your meat to most places in the US. We are considering providing individual cuts of meat should sufficient interest develop.

Our management program starts by selecting cattle that are genetically capable of producing tender, tasty beef on grass. We use Lowline bulls (http://www.usa-lowline.com) on selected Angus/cross cows as the basis of our program. Lowline cattle, developed in Australia and served in some of their finest restaurants, are genetically tender due to their smaller size and shorter muscle fibers. Our Lowline/cross cattle are 20–30% smaller than our Angus cows, which means smaller meat cuts and a lower initial cost for you when purchasing a half or whole beef.

All of our grass-fed animals are raised strictly on our native and tame grass pastures and because of our SD winters, they are supplemented with our green alfalfa hay. Our understanding is that green grass and/or green hay are essential to producing the highest amounts of omega 3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the grass-fed meat.

Our land is devoted to producing feed for our beef cattle. We became convinced of the health benefits of grass-fed beef in 2001, which is when we started our grass-fed program. Because of our tenderness and other criteria, the number of grass-fed animals we offer for sale are few but will increase over time.

Wild Idea Buffalo Company was started by owner, rancher, author Dan O'Brien. Wild Idea Buffalo Co. was conceived by Dan's environmental concerns and prairie restoration passions. By using the native specie "Buffalo" as a tool in those endeavors, not only are the eco-systems improving, but we are also able to produce the healthiest red meat available today. The buffalo are raised on two ranches, which are located on the prairie in the shadow of the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Our animals roam in large pastures and are 100% grass fed. They are never subjected to antibiotics, growth hormones, steroids or confinement. In addition to that, we harvest the animals humanely in the field under state inspection.

Wild Idea Buffalo Meat is lower in calories, cholesterol and fat then any other red meat or chicken available. Although we are a small company, we do supply like minded health food markets and restaurants that support sustainable agriculture such as Staple & Spice Health Food Store in South Dakota, Harraseeket Inn, Freeport ME; Heatland Cafe, Chicago IL; Vincent's, Phoenix AZ; and The Gilbert House, Gilbert AZ.

Rolling Hills Farm is dedicated to make sure our processes are natural and sustainable. We do not feed our animals antibiotics or use any growth hormones. Our animals enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, they have fresh natural spring water to drink and fresh pastures to roam.

We currently offer beef by the side, split side, or sampler package. The beef is vacuum-sealed and frozen at our local USDA inspected processor. Your meat can be picked up at the farm or we can ship up to a 150 mile radius. We also have eggs available for farm pick up only.

Just like our grandparents, we raise our animals in a humane method that allows them to enjoy being exactly what they are. If God put them on the earth to graze in tall fresh grass, they will graze in tall fresh grass. If they were meant to dig up roots and tubers and enjoy acorns and chestnuts, that is the environment we try to provide. They may enjoy dust baths, eating bugs and fresh shoots of grass. You will be confident of the wisdom of this approach once you try our fresh pastured eggs or beef.

Star Haven Farms is owned and operated by Ray and Karen Hadaway, and has been in our family since the 1930s. We are located 35 miles east of Bryan College Station, TX (home of Texas A & M University) near Iola.

We raise grassfed beef, Boer meat goats, and eggs from pastured chickens. At Star Haven Farms our cattle are rotationally grazed on 40 acres of pastureland, and are raised on mother's milk, grasses, alfalfa and clover. They do not receive grain, hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals. Our hens roam the pastures dining on all the green grass, bugs, frogs and lizards they can eat, but we do supplement with natural hen scratch.

Our beef is processed at Readfield's Meat Market in Bryan, a locally owned and operated Texas State inspected meat cutter. We sell our beef by the side, split quarter (evenly divided cuts from both the fore and hind quarters), and in small and large variety packs for those with limited freezer space. Shipping is available within Texas. We are also making monthly deliveries to Katy and Brenham.

We also offer a limited number of Boer show wethers for FFA and 4H projects and quality Fullblood and Percentage Boer breeding stock throughout the year.

At Dayspring Farm we raise purebred Dexter and Lowline Angus cattle because these old fashion cattle breeds have retained the ability to efficiently produce top quality beef from grass and stored grass feeds. Our cattle are raised naturally on pasture grasses, legumes and forbs grown on the hills of our farm in Southeastern Vermont.

Water is provided from a dedicated underground spring or from our driven well which is the same water source we use at our home for drinking. Both of these water sources are rich in minerals from deep in the earth. The grass we grow is from re-mineralized soils which we see as the source of health for our stock, plants, and ultimately for ourselves and others who enjoy our special meats. In addition we supplement our stock with organic kelp meal (seaweed) which is a complete source of trace minerals as well as with mineral salt.

Our cows are provided with a healthy and peaceful environment with plenty of fresh air, sunshine and exercise. We take pride in how we husband our stock and endeavor to be good stewards of the land and animals, treating both with respect and care.

Breeding stock is sold when available and meat regularly by appointment at the farm. We also sell our product at the Bellows Falls Farmers Market and ship frozen meat to customers in New England and eastern New York. Orders can be placed on our online store by visiting our web site.

After being weaned from milk, our cattle are raised on a diet of high quality forages including hay and grass silage in the winter and lush pasture during the grazing season. Cattle are slaughtered in the late summer and fall to maximize the time on pasture prior to harvest. No sub-therapeutic antibiotics are fed and no supplemental hormones are used.

Beef is available beginning each fall for as long as supplies last. Our beef is sold by the pound as individual cuts. Orders may be placed at our on-line store and are shipped directly to you via UPS, USPS or other package delivery services. Shipping cost within New England is $14.95 per box.

Westhaven Farm raises Beefalo Beef, a cross between American bison and domestic beef cattle. The animals are naturally raised and finished on grass, naturally mined minerals, and kelp meal. They are given no synthetic hormones, growth implants, animal by-products, or antibiotics or other drugs except where the health of an individual animal is threatened. In winter, they maintain their health and vigor well on hay alone. Beefalo is nutritious and delicious, naturally low in fat and cholesterol, while being comparatively high in some essential nutrients and protein, facts which led the USDA to give Beefalo its own designation, "Beefalo Beef." Being naturally low in fat does not diminish its palatability.

We sell Beefalo by the quarter (approximately 90 pounds) or half for the freezer, as well as retail cuts to individuals, stores, and restaurants. We now ship by FedEx within the continental United States, using insulated containers and frozen gel packs to alleviate the Federal restrictions on the use of dry ice.

Westhaven is a small farm, producing a quality product with care, and not all cuts are available at all times. We hope you will try and enjoy Beefalo Beef, and we greatly appreciate your support.

Hollin Farms is a three-generation family farm in Fauquier County, Virginia, about 45 minutes from the Washington DC/ Virginia beltway.

Our "Natural Angus Baby Beef" comes from yearling steers and bulls that are about 800 pounds as compared to industrial feedlot steers which weigh about 1200 pounds. Angus is the name of the breed—a black English breed renowned for its beef quality.

"Natural Beef" is from animals that have received no antibiotics in their feed and have no growth implants. These yearling beefs are slaughtered at 800–900 pounds, which is 300–400 pounds less than industrially raised cattle. Because they are younger, the beef is generally more tender and leaner.

Price includes slaughter and vacuum/freeze packing. Sold in quarter, side, or whole units only. Customer picks up at Gore Custom Meats in Stephens City, Virginia.

Healthy and delicious lamb and goat is also available, as well as raw goat's milk for pet food (not legal for human consumption).

At Running River Ranch, we are dedicated to raising healthy livestock, naturally.

We have selected hardy breeds of livestock and employ sound management practices, such as overseeding pastures with legumes and seasonal forages, pasture rotation to control parasites, and balanced nutrition, to keep our animals healthy. Our livestock are fed a grass and legume-based diet and we do not add hormones, growth enhancers or antibiotics to their feed.

We sell vacuum-packed, USDA inspected beef, goat and lamb. We also take custom orders prepared in accordance with your specifications. Shipping options include pickup at butcher shop or UPS dry ice pack to your door. Delivery of live steers is available within a 150-mile radius.

Grass-Fed bison meat tastes great! Most people interviewed feel bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted, with a sweet and rich flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef without special handling.

All our animals are raised ethically and are allowed to be the wild creatures they are. We humanely harvest our buffalo by the field method. If you would like details on our methods, do not hesitate to call.

Our meat is processed and packaged at Johnson's Sausage in Rio, Wisconsin, who adheres to the stringent health regulations of the State of Wisconsin. All buffalo meat is "flash-frozen" at 20 below zero and since we slaughter virtually every week the meat is very fresh.

We ship our meat year round. Tours are available May 15-Oct 15.

Wyoming

Touchstone Angus offers grass finished beef raised entirely on our ranch near Lusk, Wyoming. We have worked many years to identify angus cattle that are inherently capable of consistently producing tender beef within a grass/forage only diet. This hard to find genetic tenderness combined with the special quality of the native grass diet available on the open ranges of Wyoming sets Touchstone grass finished beef apart in taste.

Our beef is not certified as organic due to the time and money necessary for the process. Nonetheless, the beef has no added hormones and no antibiotics are fed. The cattle are raised on native pastures that are not sprayed with herbicides or farmed.

Touchstone beef is sold in whole, halves and quarters (half of a half). The beef is processed at a USDA inspected plant in Elizabeth, CO where it can be picked up frozen or stored in a locker. We can ship beef as well if you live outside the Denver area and are unable to pick it up.
