Taste, tradition, integrity
Taste the difference. Our beef tastes the way beef should—full-flavored, rich, and pure. The flavor comes from the way the cattle live, and what they eat: cool perennial pasture, healthy soil, and natural rainfall.
This is the way beef tasted forever, before feedlots, fossil fuels, and GMO corn.
Our cattle grow fat eating only the pasture grasses they were meant to eat, grazing naturally for three seasons and consuming stored grasses during the winter. We never use chemicals on our pastures. The cattle receive no antibiotics, hormones, or grain, and they never see a feedlot.
Grassland, soil, & Ecosystem
Grazing animals, deep rooted grasses, and rich living soil make up the grassland ecosystem. New York’s perennial pastures are more like prairie than cropland—permanent grasslands that are never plowed, made up of diverse plant communities. Grassland covers 3 million acres, making it the largest category of farmland in New York State.
This natural system develops deep living soil that sequesters carbon, supports biodiversity, and protects waterways by reducing erosion and runoff.
How the System works
Grass-fed beef is a solar-based system. The sun fuels the growth of the grass that feed the cattle. The cattle harvest their food and fertilize the soil. No fossil fuels are used in this process. Winter feed comes from stored grasses harvested from nearby meadows.
The result is a resilient system that produces beef with integrity, flavor, and consistency.
