We guarantee you'll taste the difference

When animals are raised humanely on open pastures, the nutrients and flavor permeate the meat all the way into the fat.Give our pasture-raised and 100% grass-fed meats a try. If you don't agree it tastes better than the cheap meat you can buy at the supermarket, let us know. You'll talk directly to your farmer. And we'll work with you to make it right.
