Can we live without the quarter pounder???
We are often asked, as beef producers, about the environmental impact of beef. For sure emissions per kilogram of beef is a big load. That load consists of many factors:
Destruction of forests and world deforestation
Cattle production in feedlots and confined spaces
Intensive beef production in arid regions
Land allocated to the production of grains for feed
Green house gas production of meat animals
But the main question to ask is "Knowing the origin of the meat you buy is the first step to demanding it be produced sustainably. " Per Alexandre Koberle
We are committed to sustainability. After all we want our small family farm to be around for a while. To be sustainable we must do the following.
-Rotation of pastures for regenerative land practice
-Allocate land for each beef to attain the most benefit for our grasses & legumes
- manage the health and welfare of our herd
-mitigation of carbon sequestration on grazing land by monitoring soil and grass health.
-promote local consumers to reduce haul and shipping costs
We are convinced this works. After all millions of buffalo roamed our west with little or no environmental impact !

Market Wagon
For those of you who purchased our products through the Lexington hub, we are sorry to inform you that Marketwagon closed its Lexington hub. We are now in the New Albany , IN hub.. They service some of the Lexington market hub. Open your Marketwagon and be sure to change your market to IN. You may still be in that service area.
Cooking Grass Fed & Finished Beef
Grass fed and finished beef is by its very nature lower in fat. Commercially raised beef tends to have more fat and more moisture than grass fed. Thus we need to cook our grass fed beef a little differently. Grass fed beef will have a more intense flavor which may be singular to our grasses because of the lower moisture content. With a lower fat and moisture content in mind you will need less cooking time and a different mindset on temperatures when cooking.
Super 2018 Share Review --"Cooked flank steak fajitas. The bomb! Melt in the mouth. Took out of freezer this morning.Marinated afternoon. 👍. Burger good on Friday night also."
Our family did a blind taste test on steaks from your farm and a competitor. Yours was hands down the best. The flavor was outstanding. From Alexis V. 11-12-2020

Sustainable Livestock Husbandry
Truly sustainable livestock farming requires the use of a pasture-based system. Pasture-raised animals roam freely in their natural environment where they're able to eat grass and other plants that their bodies are adapted to digest. In addition to dramatically improving the welfare of farm animals, pasturing also helps reduce environmental damage, and yields meat, eggs, and dairy products that are tastier and more nutritious than foods produced on factory farms.
Our Grass Fed Beef
We only offer grass fed and finished beef which follow the American Grass Fed Beef Standards. IE:
Diet — Animals are fed only grass and forage from weaning until harvest.
Confinement — Animals are raised on pasture without confinement to feedlots.
Antibiotics and hormones — Animals are never treated with antibiotics or growth hormones.
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic land management practice that leverages the power of photosynthesis in plants to close the carbon cycle, and build soil health, crop resilience and nutrient density. This 2020 year will see our continuation of building our soils thru renovation of our pastures, conversion of row crop fields to grasses, maturity of our grass diversity and rotational grazing practices, One small step toward carbon sequestration.
From our family farm to you.
