How we raise our beef

​

   

Our beef is raised with care on diverse pastures containing over 180 species of grasses, forbs, and legumes, allowing our cattle to graze and explore for more than 300 days each year. We move them through at least one time to fresh pastures daily, ensuring they always have access to new, nutritious forage. Their water comes directly from two pristine springs, providing them with clean, pure hydration.

We nurture the natural bond between calves and their mothers, allowing them to stay together for up to ten months. Throughout their lives, we prioritize low-stress handling and care. During times when pasture availability is limited, we provide high-quality hay, strategically placed across the fields, weather permitting, to ensure their continued health and well-being.

Our approach benefits not only our cattle but also the environment, supporting wildlife and pollinator insects in a thriving ecosystem. The result is beef of unparalleled quality. When you choose our product, you can trust that it is rich in nutrients, bursting with flavor, and a healthier choice for you and your family.

To reserve our beef, we require a nonrefundable deposit of $100. As we are a small-scale operation, finishing only a limited number of cattle each year, there may be a waiting period of a few months after you place your order. We wait to harvest until each animal reaches its prime, ensuring the highest quality meat.

Grass-fed beef has sometimes been criticized for subpar finishing, but we take great pride in our meticulous process. It guarantees a product that’s not only exceptional for your health but also aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability. By choosing our beef, you're supporting a healthy and sustainable ecosystem.

​

How It Works:

1. Order your beef (1/4, ½, or whole)

2. Send us a deposit of $100

3. We will give you confirmation of your deposit and a perspective date

When the animal is sent for harvest:

1. We will call you to let you know it is going for processing

2. Once we know the hanging weight of your portion, we will call you with a total.

   1. You can drop off this amount

   2. You can mail a check to 1532 Stitzinger Road, Tionesta, PA 16353

   3. We will also give you the phone number of the processor so that you can call in how you want it cut. 

   4. Once your payment is received and you have called in your cuts, your meat will be released at the processor’s location for pickup.  You will still have to pay the processor for processing when you pick up your meat. (This step can sometimes be confusing. We Will Walk You Through It.)

We charge $5.50 per pound hanging weight

The hanging weight for a whole animal is 475-600 pounds

The processing fees usually come to about $150-$200 per quarter
