100% GRASS FED & FINISHED

1/2 Beef

A half beef is the most beautiful way to buy beef: one whole animal, raised with care, cut for your family, and tucked into your freezer for the season ahead.

Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, regenerative, mobile pasture-raised, local, and deeply nourishing — true nose-to-tail food from cattle raised slowly on pasture.

Our cows graze grass their entire lives. Moms and babies stay together. The herd moves peacefully through green pasture, clean water, fresh air, sun, moonlight, and deep forages of grasses and herbs. No feedlots. No vaccines, antibiotics, hormones, GMOs, or toxins. Just clean, ethical beef raised in a way that regenerates the land and nourishes your family.

This is beef that builds soil before it ever fills your freezer.

 

100% Grass-Fed & Finished Half Beef

Sale: $5.99/lb hanging weight
Regular price: $6.25/lb hanging weight

A half beef gives you the full range of the animal — premium steaks, roasts, ground beef, burgers, brisket, short ribs, stew meat, soup bones, marrow bones, fat, and offal if desired.

You’ll also be able to customize your cut sheet, and we’ll help guide you through the choices so you feel confident.

Why purchase a half Beef?

Enjoying beef from nose to tail is a win-win. You get fantastic deals on prime cuts, while supporting the real, regenerative food, the farmer, and opting out of the industrial food complex.

​

Cows are truly remarkable. Their peaceful nature and natural grazing habits rejuvenate the land, much like the bison of the Great Plains, creating rich, fertile soils. Through our regenerative shepherding practices, the cows enjoy tranquil lives, actively building soil and regenerating ecosystems. This harmonious relationship not only enhances the environment but also supports our health and sustainability, making every bite a testament to nature's wisdom.

​

Our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished, without the use of feed, vaccines, antibiotics, or hormones—truly nature building nature. We follow the innovative practices of Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm and Alan Savory's Holistic Management, ensuring our cattle thrive in diverse environments, from pastures to silviculture.
