The lambs, packaging (insulated with cardboard outer) are shipped after payment by money order or cashiers check. We are not set up yet for credit card payments.

Graze time is usually six months out of the year, but all year long they have access to willow tips and other buds and native bushes. They are fed primarily native hay baled close to the mineral rich beaches where they live their lives in a placid stress free environment. The meat is cut by a very experienced butcher and are dispatched quickly and humanely. We are not organically certified, but all of our land is managed with organic fertilizers (fish meal, fish bones, and crab shells produced locally).

Timmons Road, Grenada CA 96038. (530) 436-2348. Douglas Ranch produces grassfed beef, lamb and pastured natural pork in a rural valley near Paicines, California near San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area. The ranch is run by Rani and Don Douglas with organic practices and is sustainably managed. The pastures are not sprayed with chemicals and are kept lush with rotational grazing. Animals are treated humanely and are not confined in barns or small enclosures. Mothers and babies are sometimes briefly fenced away from other herd animals during the first few days of birth. They all enjoy the lush irrigated pastures as well as native natural pastures giving them daily choices of what they naturally prefer to browse on. The animals are never given antibiotics or hormones. We raise Angus cattle (the meatiest and most tender), Dorper sheep (the mildest and tastiest), and several cross breeds and heritage Berkshire pigs (more marbling in the meat). Cattle and sheep are raised on grass only—no grain. Pigs are raised with free choice on pasture, and supplemented with organic milk and an organic feed supplement. The pigs are happiest when they are sampling grasses and forbes and allowed to wallow in cool pools of mud. Animals are born and raised on the ranch, and are harvested humanely and taken to an organically certified processor. The meat is vacuum sealed and frozen at the plant to ensure you will receive the freshest products. Cuts are packaged in small quantities to allow our customers more flexibility for meals. Beef is gently aged for delicious flavor. The lamb meat is not “gamey” tasting because Dorpers are “hair” sheep with much less lanolin than wool sheep. This prevents the stronger taste many people object to in lamb. The pork cuts are very moist and delicious. Ham and bacon are naturally smoked without nitrates and nitrites. We sell meats in many sizes but most popular are the Sampler Pack, ½’s and ¼’s. We deliver to most of the Bay Area, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito counties, and we ship anywhere.

These are sold as whole carcasses for $3.25 per pound of hanging weight, or $3.50 for half. This includes cutting and packaging to your specifications. Orders usually take about three weeks and can be picked up at the locker in Orland. Shipping can be arranged and is extra. Average dressed weight runs between 40 – 60 pounds. Lamb sausage is also available on request. Orders are taken by phone, fax or e-mail. USDA inspected. The key to the success of our lambs is that they are naturally adapted to a grazing environment and our climate. We use two breeds, the St. Croix and the White Dorper. Both evolved in hot climates and were selected under grazing conditions for many generations. Animals that are suited to their environment are less likely to suffer stress or develop health problems. Neither breed requires shearing and both are calm and docile in nature. Lambs are raised on pastures that include strawberry clover, Ladino clover, ryegrasses, tonic plantain, chicory and dandelion in a complex mix of forages. Both animals and pastures thrive on a system of frequent moves which give lambs fresh pasture every day or so and allows the forage to regenerate. Lambs are provided with free choice salt/mineral mix only, with no hormones or antibiotics. We think you'll be impressed with the mild flavor and tenderness of our lamb and we hope you'll tell your friends. Walker Creek Ranch, Paul and Kathy Lewis, 6352 County

Hanover Dexter Cattle Company at Rockin' B Ranch began raising grass-fed, organic (non-certified), registered Dexter cattle on 100 acres nearly 10 years ago. We soon discovered that independent taste tests and nutritional research demonstrated that Dexter beef had exceptional taste and tenderness and outstanding nutritional benefits as compared to larger breeds—even Angus. We still sell by the half and whole, but with fewer families having a dedicated freezer, we began selling Dexter beef in small packages and shipping throughout the U.S. Our animals graze native pastures of eastern Colorado and are fed a variety of native hays during the winter months. As stewards of nature we never administer antibiotics or growth hormones to our cattle nor ever use chemicals on the land. By moving the herd every 5 days during the growing season we allow the grasses to recover and rejuvenate; the cattle consistently drink from fresh water sources year-round. Spring calves are born in the pastures as nature intended. Cattle are never confined and fed grain or similar supplemental feed unless a customer requests grain-finished and purchases the entire animal. We have daily contact with all our animals. That familiarity creates a herd that is gentle and contented, resulting in more flavorful meat. The short distance to the USDA processing plant in Colorado Springs reduces the stress of transportation. We ship our variety packaged meat in reusable insulated boxes with reusable freezer bricks, eliminating any chemical concerns with dry-ice. Please contact us for delivery options. Beef is usually processed in October/November when they are about 20 months of age. Please do not wait until the Fall to order as quantities are limited.

Should the three families living on the land turn the land into a golf course and housing development for the rapidly growing Durango community, or should they devote themselves to grassfarming instead? The land had been in the James family since 1961, the family was very attached to it, and the third generation was just coming up. After spending two years considering all aspects—most importantly the impact on the family and grandchildren—they chose grassfarming. Today their many grateful customers rely on their grassfed beef. The beef is available by mail and you are invited to view our website to place an order. James Ranch, David and Kay James, 33800 Hwy 550,

Florida Fresh Beef Company, conveniently located in North Central Florida, produces 100% gourmet grass fed, organically raised, Aberdeen Angus beef from free-range cattle that are raised on 850 acres of lush shaded pasture in Citra, Florida. They feast on a salad bar of pesticide-free "gourmet" forage including clover, wheat, oat and rye grass. The cattle are then harvested not more than 40 miles away at a USDA inspected facility. Once processed, the carcasses are hung in an air ventilated refrigerated locker for up to 28 days for our "old school" dry-aging process. This process naturally tenderizes the meat and enhances its taste. The beef is then cut into gourmet roasts, steaks and Angus Burger—a local Ocala favorite. Each cut of beef, whether roast or steak, is individually packed in a vacuum bag and air sealed for freshness. Beef is available by the individual cut, various Variety Packs (saving $$$), or by the whole, half, quarter or eighth beef. Florida Fresh Beef Company, established in 2008, is proud to be one of the first companies in almost 20 years to produce fresh local meat available to the public under USDA inspection. Our relationships with various like-minded grass-fed cattle ranchers throughout the state have allowed us to develop a consistent supply of healthy, delicious, local Florida beef available in bulk or individual cuts throughout the year. Florida Fresh Beef Company ships throughout the state of Florida, Georgia, the Bahamas and US Virgin Islands, as well as the continental USA. A South Florida supply outlet is currently in development for the distribution of both regular and Glatt Kosher beef. We have also sucessfully developed a share program for CSA’s and Buying Clubs. We can divide a carcass into 8 or 16 equal shares to make it affordable for families to get the benefit of buying the bulk beef in smaller quantities while still saving. We do the shipping! Visit our website for information on how to order and to locate farmers markets where you can buy our beef. Florida Fresh Beef Company/Florida Glatt Kosher

We are among only a handful of farms in this country that produce 100% grass-fed "Kobe" style beef. The majority of our herd is purebred Wagyu, which gives our product a consistent expression of the Wagyu meat characteristics that have made the breed famous. Over 90% of the Wagyu meat produced in this country is only 50% Wagyu, which sometimes can lead to inconsistent product. Our Wagyu herd was obtained from Blue Rock Cattle Co. owned by Jerry Pittenger, one of the founding fathers of the Wagyu breed in this country. Our family has been farming on the same homestead since 1976 with a commitment and passion for providing the highest quality products that nature will allow. We currently are selling meat in 30 lb variety packs. They contain 2 filets, 2 NY strip, 2 Prime rib steaks, a roast or two, and hamburger, with the balance made up of some, but not all, of the following: flank steak, flatiron steak, shoulder steak, sirloin steak, sirloin tip steak, brisket, short ribs, kabob meat, etc. Meat can also be purchased by the quarter. Current pricing is $375 for the variety pack and $10 per pound by the quarter (packaged meat–not hanging weight). Meat can be picked up or we offer free local delivery, We also ship via Fed-Ex anywhere in the country. We encourage you to give us a call or come by for a visit. We are also currently fattening Mangalitsa pigs that will be available in the spring of 2010. Pasture Prime Wagyu, Torm Siverson, 4141 SE 180th

We’ve gone back to raising cattle, pigs and poultry the way our grandparents did: born and bred on natural pasture, with no hormones or antibiotics. Homestead Natural beef is raised antibiotic free, growth stimulant/hormone free, and grain/corn free and are all raised from birth to finish on a grass diet. Homestead Natural pork is raised 100% free range and fed a minimal amount of barley, no corn, soy beans or GMO feeds. Homestead Natural poultry products are raised free range on grass pasture and fed a minimal amount of grain. Cattle, pigs and poultry raised in “concentrated animal feeding operations” (CAFOs) may cost less at the checkout stand, but you pay a high price in taste and nutrition. You see, beef, pork and chicken raised on natural pasture don’t just taste better… they’re better for you. And when it comes to flavor, just ask the folks who have eaten our beef, pork or chicken at Idaho restaurants like the Red Feather Lounge, Bitter creek Alehouse, Café d’Paris, Jenny's Lunch Line, Lucky 13, St. Luke’s Hospital in Boise, Galena Lodge, Segos and CKs in Sun Valley, Brick 29 in Nampa and Bon Appetit in Caldwell. Beef, pork and chicken raised with sustainable agricultural
practices may cost more, but like our grandparents would have told you,
you get what you pay for. And when it comes to your health, isn’t
that worth a little extra? Lau Family Farm is a fifth generation

Raised with care by our experienced shepherds, our lambs are truly “free-range.” Traveling from the deserts of the Snake River Plain to the high mountains near Sun Valley, our animals log hundreds of miles during their lifetimes – they are never confined in feedlots. The result is meat that is lean yet tender and flavorful – we think you’ll find it the best you’ve tasted. Our headquarters is Lava Lake Ranch, located just southeast of Sun Valley in Idaho’s Pioneer Mountains. As a family of ranchers and environmentalists, we are committed to restoring and preserving this land because of its history, its beauty and its biological diversity. We are so committed to this principle that all net profits from our grass-fed lamb sales help fund our land conservation work.

The company was started in 2005 by Ryan and Kristine Jepsen to develop local markets for the top-quality beef and pork raised on their farm and by neighboring producers. Grass Run Farms now sources from like-minded farmers all over the Upper Midwest.

We prefer to sell quarters or split halves, but we sell individual packages as well. We usually ship frozen meat 2nd Day Air in special containers. Our goal is to provide the best possible care and diet for our animals so that our customers can get the healthiest possible meat. The cattle never eat grain. They eat fresh grass from April thru November and winter on dry hay. They are fed a combination of kelp, minerals, and refined natural salt year- round. We complete the cattle's life cycle with humane slaughter. They are killed in our corral while standing quietly and then are hauled to the processing facility. This prevents any unnecessary stress on the animal. We usually harvest our beef in late October – early November when the animals are 16 months old. We like to have large orders placed prior to slaughter, but we try to keep a supply of frozen meat on hand year-round. We also have lamb, goat and broiler chickens as well. This year we are looking to sell 300-400 head of Katahdin breeding stock. They are all naturally raised with no vaccines or wormers. For any further details, please feel free to call anytime.

The grass grows naturally without being pumped up with nitrogen fertilizer. The steers move from field to field with new pasture every few days. The water flows from the farm springs, wells, and ponds with no added chemicals. The slow movement across the rich fields means they can be finished as succulent marbled beef without any grain. The fresh grass gives them a healthy balance of fat and lean and special flavor." The beef is USDA-approved for supply to restaurants, retail outlets, and direct sale to consumers. Look for it in Lexington, KY at the Good Foods Co-Op and at the Blue Moon Farm stall at the Lexington Farmers Market. In Louisville, KY the beef is sold at the three Rainbow Blossom stores. Sides of beef are available at the processing plant. (Call for more information.) Refrigerated transport is available to supply retail outlets in Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Chase Hill Farm: The Organic Farmstead Cheese from Chase Hill Farm is handcrafted in small batches from fresh top quality raw milk. We use exclusively the organic-certified milk from our own herd of grassfed cows. Our Original Farmstead Cheese is mild like a Colby or Havarti cheese, but with a unique flavor that retains the "character" of our raw milk. Our cheese has a sweet, creamy flavor and a buttery yellow color that comes from our green grass. We also make a Farmstead Cheese with Garlic, some with Chives, Cheddar, and recently started making 1/2 lb. Organic Camembert rounds. Chase Hill Farm is an organic-certified family farm in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. Mark and Jeannette Fellows manage the farm as a grass-based seasonal dairy. Our mission is to produce quality local food from grassfed cows using sustainable low input practices. These practices include rotational grazing, seasonal calving, and using draft horsepower. Our herd of 30 Jersey, Normandy and Holstein cows milk seasonally from March to December. We feed organic grain for about 8 weeks from calving until grass is ready here in northern Massachusetts, but the rest of the year cows are 100% grassfed. Our Organic Farmstead Cheeses are available in local stores and farmstands in western Massachusetts, and in some of the Boston-area Bread & Circus stores. We also ship our cheeses.

Bluebird Meadows Farm is dedicated to raising grass-fed sheep and lamb. We have a flock of 100+ ewes, and they live on lush, green pastures throughout the entire growing season and on into December. During the winter we feed them high quality hay raised and baled by us on our farm. They have most of their lambs on pasture in May, the very best time for a lamb to be born, and the lambs stay with the mother rotating to a new pasture every 1 to 5 days until fall. By keeping them on pasture with their mothers, we produce a very mild flavored, young, tender, lean lamb. We have the lambs butchered and processed by a local, family-owned processing plant, and it is USDA-certified to be sold either by the package frozen or by the whole or half lamb. If you purchase a whole or half lamb, it can be custom processed and cut to your specifications. We can ship frozen lamb, or you may also pick it up at our farm.

Blackberry Ridge, LLC Eco-Farm & Ranch is owned and operated by one small family. We started five years ago to create a Bio-diverse, Biodynamic, Organic, Sustainable, and Permiculture Eco-system—a self-contained farm where the animals fertilize the land and the resulting living soil and grasslands feed the animals. We have introduced eight different animal species to roam our land. Many are Heritage or endangered breeds. These include: 100% GrassFed Galloway Cattle and Sheep (fiber, meat, and milk); Free-Range, Pastured Hogs, Chickens, and Turkeys; Horses; and Great Pyrenees guard Dogs. As members of the Cherokee Tribe, we work in Harmony with the wildlife in our woods to increase wild habitat and bio-diversity. We have encouraged the re-growth of native vegetation, and will add more diverse plants each year, creating a permiculture. The animals have opportunity to eat the foods they would eat in the wild, while finding the most pure, Certified Organic sources for any feed we must give. We feed NO Grain to our Beef and Lamb! NO ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIPARISITES, ADDED HORMONES, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, or ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS Optimum health is achieved by humane treatment (we don’t ‘cut’ our animals), fresh grass, herbs, sunshine and air, and a reliance on nature before we intervene. We believe this creates optimum nourishment in the foods that we nourish ourselves with and optimum life in the environment we live in. Galloway beef rated #1 in taste and #2 in tenderness by UW tests. It is USDA processed and dry aged for 18 days by a small family butcher, then cut and froze individually.

We cut and bale our own red clover, alfalfa, orchard grass and brome that we feed as hay in the winter; we feed the salt and minerals; we monitor all animal health; we check the water; we wean the babies. We do it all ourselves. Nothing gets between us and our cattle.

N Farm Road 105, Willard MO 65781. (417) 742-3425. Sassafras Valley Farm raises free-range Embden geese and Rouen ducks on our family farm in Gasconade County, Missouri. We practice Low Impact Sustainable Agriculture (LISA) to raise geese and ducks in a traditional and environmentally sensitive fashion. We maintain a population density of less than 36 birds per acre to provide them with continuous access to fresh pasture and water. Our pastures have been carefully planted with a mixture of grasses and other plants that reflect the traditional diet of domesticated geese and ducks in harmony with the requirements of the local microclimate. Our birds are raised in a chemical free, pesticide free, hormone free environment. Unfortunately, in the U.S., availability of dressed geese and ducks is limited due to the relative difficulty of raising them in high density confinement. Our geese and ducks are raised on free-range and natural pasture in the same traditional way that domesticated waterfowl have been raised since their original descent from their wild forbears. Predator control (typically coyotes, feral dogs, and hawks) is accomplished through the efforts of several Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs rather than by trapping, poisoning, or shooting. Rouen ducks are a slower maturing heritage breed with plumage similar to Mallards. They are considerably smaller than the more common Pekin ducks sold through most market outlets, and are less greasy as well as superior in flavor. Embden geese are the traditional, large white geese familiar from pictures and folklore. Our Embdens are very low in fat due to their natural diet and healthy, outdoor living conditions. Our geese and ducks are humanely processed in a USDA certified facility and available for purchase and shipment frozen via UPS 2nd Day Air throughout the U.S. Sassafras Valley Farm geese and ducks are also available through several local outlets in the Hermann and Saint Louis Missouri area. Consult our website for details. Sassafras Valley Farm is proud to be certified by the prestigious Animal Welfare Approved organization. Sassafras Valley Farm, Robert and Connie Cunningham,

La Cense Beef® is all natural and 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef. Our quality approach begins with the La Cense Master Ranchers at the 88,000 acre La Cense Montana Ranch located in Dillon, Montana. Like many organic beef producers, La Cense Beef® is allowed to gain weight naturally. Black Angus cattle are raised to an age of about 18 months without hormones, spending their lives grazing solely pesticide free, natural pastures. Our all grass-fed beef is not produced from cattle raised by a consortium of other ranchers. In this manner, La Cense is able to oversee quality production and adherence to its standards for humane care, as well as ensure that La Cense Black Angus cattle roam free and are never crowded, which reduces the chance of contamination or transmission of disease. La Cense free range, grass-fed beef is dry aged for 19 days to round out flavor and enhance tenderness and then hand cut and trimmed with care by skilled artisan butchers. Your order of La Cense dry aged prime meat is immediately frozen and vacuum-packed at the time of processing at a USDA certified plant, to ensure that you receive the highest quality Black Angus dry aged beef online. Natural grass-fed beef from La Cense can be purchased year-round in a variety of gourmet cuts via the web at www.LaCenseBeef.com or call 1-866-442-2333.

The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company - Marlowe Farm's is a small grass based farm located in the hills of Northern Nebraska. The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company was owned and operated by my family from 1936-1993. I am in the process of resurrecting it. Hogs and cattle were a part the family business. I moved onto this farm in August of 2003. I raise cattle, sheep and pigs. All animals are raised on pasture. Cattle and sheep are fed exclusively grass and a limited amount of hay in the winter months. The cows, sheep and pigs are rotated through a series of paddocks. The pigs are fed varying amounts of grain depending on class. Sows and gilts graze/forage for the bulk of their diet with some corn fed as an energy supplement and to keep them docile. Growing pigs are fed a ground corn/soybean ration. Low-grain pork and No-grain pork are available upon request. By keeping livestock in the pastures manure is spread evenly across the ground. What manure is collected around the barns is spread on my poorest ground. I'm hoping the application of manure to my poorest ground will in time make it some of my best ground. At this time I only have pork available for sale. I do ship. Anoka-Butte Lumber Company - Marlowe Farm's, Christopher

Pure Indian Foods is a small family-owned business that takes pride in making an exceptional quality grass-fed and certified organic Ghee. Golden colored Ghee is prepared by melting and simmering butter until all the water evaporates and the milk solids settle at the bottom. The remaining butter oil is very stable, giving it a high smoke point which makes it an excellent choice for deep fat frying, baking and sautéing. Because of the low moisture content, it can be stored without refrigeration for 2-3 months. Many people find our ghee, with its rich, nutty flavor, to be tastier than butter. We make our ghee fresh, with care, in small batches, right here in the USA. Our products are USDA Certified Organic. We use butter made only in Springtime through the Fall, when the cows are actually out on the pasture eating fresh green grass. We make our ghee only on the waxing or full moon days which are auspicious in the ancient Vedic system. We use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles to avoid dangerous toxic chemicals from leeching from plastic containers. Our family has been in the ghee business in India for 5 generations, since 1889, and we are proudly continuing that tradition. Ghee has been used for its health-giving and healing properties for thousands of years. In Ayurveda (the “science of life”), cow ghee is considered one of the most sacred foods. Ghee is the best cooking oil as it is stable at higher temperatures, and it enhances the flavor of spices and herbs. Ghee is free of casein and lactose and is suitable for people who are allergic to dairy products. It keeps skin soft, and has anti-aging properties. Ghee contains naturally occurring CLA, Omega-3, Vitamins A, D, E & K2. It is free of harmful trans-fats. Ghee is shelf-stable and we ship worldwide by USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL. We offer special discounts to co-ops and buying clubs. Pure Indian Foods, Sandeep and Nalini Agarwal, PO

We believe in sustainable grassland management and use rotational grazing practices. We gather our calves on horseback in the fall and are committed to the preservation of the Western ranching tradition.

They are humanely handled at the Ranch and by Fort Sumner Processing, a family-owned, fully certified processor. Our customers are pleased by the taste and tenderness of our beef. It is low in fat and cholesterol, high in the vitamins, CLA's and omega fatty acids found in fully grass-fed/grass-finished beef. We offer half and full beeves for sale on our website or by directly contacting Nancy Ranney via e-mail. Our beef is dry-aged and packaged to customer specifications. We ship FedEx nationwide.

We handle them as little as possible, and guarantee they are not subject to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. For numerous customers with various diseases bison is the only choice for (red) meat. Bison meat is heart-healthy and recommended to patients (see “The Dakota Diet” written by Dr. K. Weiland, and the American Heart Association). It’s the best diet for athletes (high in protein), women (lots of iron), kids and seniors (essential fatty acids, low fat). Bison meat tastes great. Bison is naturally juicy and tender and can be interchanged with beef in almost any recipe. A lower temperature should be used as bison is very lean and will cook more quickly. It has nutritional advantages over other meats—you get more protein with fewer calories and less fat. There is less shrinking in your pan because of no marbling fat. We process our bison at a USDA inspected facility. After 10-14 days hanging the carcass is cut in custom packages and frozen. We sell the meat mostly by the pound, but also sell quarters, halves and whole carcasses. Customers can pick up their meat at the ranch or get free delivery to Trinidad and Raton. We ship interstate for an additional fee. In July/August we sell at the Farmers' Market in Trinidad, CO. We always hand out cooking tips and recipes to our
customers. spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC, Christian and

NY 12583. Beartown Farms supplies healthy grass fed lamb and beef. We are situated in the ‘lake effect’ zone east of Lake Ontario - an outstanding location for a grass farm. Forty inches of rain, cool summers, and water holding soils enable us to grow excellent forages without chemical fertilizers or herbicides. With more than 650 acres of meadows and pastures, the sun provides all the energy required to sustain our farm operations. In order to efficiently manage the land for our animals, we practice rotational grazing and harvest all of our winter feed as hay and grass silage. The farm is home to more than 500 Dorp-Croix hair sheep and 125 Angus cattle. Our lamb is for people who don’t normally like lamb, as there is no wool lanolin taste to the meat, and Angus beef is among the best. Sustainable agriculture and healthy grass-fed lamb and beef – it doesn’t get better than that. Try some for yourself. Our farm grown lamb and beef are USDA inspected, custom cut and vacuum packaged. Cows are sold by the whole, half and split quarters and lamb by the whole. You can contact us to order or arrange a delivery directly to specific locations within the northern New York region.

We raise grassfed & grassfinished beef in an environmentally sustainable manner with rotational grazing of heritage breeds of British White, Murray Grey, Red Devon and crosses. They are very tame and raised organically but not yet certified. The farm is protected from development by a conservation easement and has been in the Lampman family since 1882. The heritage breeds were chosen because of their ability to do well on grass and produce a healthy and tender, tasty product high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. ¼’s, ½’s or whole beef custom cuts are prepared to customer specifications. We also sell and ship individual packages of steaks, roasts, burger and now terrific hot dogs (PaPa Dogs) that are all-beef, no-nitrate, with a natural casing. All processing is done at small, local USDA inspected facilities. However, if an animal is purchased on the hoof in advance, then the most humane, ‘end’ can be arranged for at the farm.

E Ancram Road, Ancramdale NY 12503. (518) 329-2405. Flying Pigs Farm offers pork chops, tenderloin, roasts, bacon, ham and Sun-Dried Tomato and Chardonnay Sausage. Our pork is much more moist and flavorful than supermarket meat. It's different because we raise heritage breeds of pigs the old-fashioned way. The pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, with plenty of room to roam on our fields and in our woods. Because they have so much space and because we move them often, the land stays clean and the pigs stay healthy. The pigs snack on grass, weeds, and roots that grow on our land, and they also eat dried, ground grains. Our pigs are "Large Blacks," Glouestershire Old Spots," and "Tamworths," old-fashioned breeds in danger of extinction. It may seem odd to use these breeds for pork because they are so rare, but they will not survive unless a market for these animals can be created. Breeders can then afford to expand their herds and expand the population. We ship across the country. Look for us in the spring and fall at the Grand Army Plaza and Tribeca Greenmarkets in New York City. Visitors are welcome to pitch in at our fledgling farm on the Battenkill—but please call first!

Canal Junction Natural Meats & Farmstead Cheese is a grass based farming operation where we believe in raising our animals for food the way that God intended them to be raised. We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk. The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in. We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself. We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask. The cheese we will ship, the meat must be bought through the farm store. We do have a wholesale price for the cheese for any retailers or restaurant owners. Cheeses available: Cheddar, Colby, Jack, Garlic & Herb, Jack & Dill, Pepper Jack, Italian Herb, Black Swamp Gouda, Miami Erie Canal Swiss, Wabash Erie Canal Gruyere, and Canal Junction Blue (will be ready in late March of '08). Meat is also offered in bulk. Beef is available by the whole, half, quarter, or half of a half. Pork and lamb are offered by the whole or half.

We do not feed or administer any antibiotics or hormones to our beef or poultry and we do not use chemicals on our property. We follow an all-natural sustainable environment for our animals. The Scottish Highland Breed originated in the cold and damp mountains of Scotland and is protected by a thick coat of long, dense hair which helps to insulate the cow and produces a very lean meat with little back fat. Being grass-fed beef, there is an optimum balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, a ratio slightly above two. This means that two parts omega-6 to one part omega-3, which is very close to the ideal ratio between these two fats. Studies conducted by the USDA and Clemson University in 2009 contrasted beef from Animal Feeding Operations (AFOs) with Grass-Fed Beef. Researchers determined that grass-fed beef was:
Since the old saying, “you are what you eat” is proving to be true, the beneficial effects of eating grass-fed beef and dairy products with the proper balance of fatty acids translate into outstanding health benefits to the consumer.

Our beef start life on the native prairies and once weaned move to high quality, high energy, grass alfalfa mix or similar quality winter forage. Our beef is free of hormone implants, and antibiotics. The SOILS here in South Dakota are geologically young, being from the most recent Wisconsin glacial advance. They are still rich in trace minerals that today have been leached out of older more weathered soils. The cattle get supplemental salt and minerals, but much is provided to the plants by the soil and of course from the plants to the animals. The cattle here are from moderate framed older style genetics. Small groups that survived the shift to mass-produced feed lot beef during the past 30 years. The thing I like best about this system is what it means to the animal. A feedlot is dust and flies, or mud and muck, shoulder to shoulder at the feed bunk. Nature is not always kind, but it is life closer to what was meant to be. Cliff's Homegrown Beef, Cliff Millsapps, 809

Our local locker, which meets state and federal regulations, can process and ship your meat to most places in the US. We are considering providing individual cuts of meat should sufficient interest develop. Our management program starts by selecting cattle that are genetically capable of producing tender, tasty beef on grass. We use Lowline bulls (http://www.usa-lowline.com) on selected Angus/cross cows as the basis of our program. Lowline cattle, developed in Australia and served in some of their finest restaurants, are genetically tender due to their smaller size and shorter muscle fibers. Our Lowline/cross cattle are 20–30% smaller than our Angus cows, which means smaller meat cuts and a lower initial cost for you when purchasing a half or whole beef. All of our grass-fed animals are raised strictly on our native and tame grass pastures and because of our SD winters, they are supplemented with our green alfalfa hay. Our understanding is that green grass and/or green hay are essential to producing the highest amounts of omega 3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the grass-fed meat. Our land is devoted to producing feed for our beef cattle. We became convinced of the health benefits of grass-fed beef in 2001, which is when we started our grass-fed program. Because of our tenderness and other criteria, the number of grass-fed animals we offer for sale are few but will increase over time. Rosebud Beef Ranch, Dwaine or Susan Umberger, 29297

At Dayspring Farm we raise Grass-fed Katahdin lambs because this American lamb breed which is a hair sheep naturally produces mild tasting lamb meat. We have found this sheep breed, if properly managed, has the ability to grow and finish efficiently from grass and stored grass feeds. Our cattle are raised naturally on pasture grasses, legumes and forbs grown on the hills of our farm in Southeastern Vermont. Water for our animals is provided from a dedicated underground spring or from our driven well which is the same water source we use at our home for drinking. Both of these water sources are rich in minerals from deep in the earth. The grass we grow is from re-mineralized soils which we see as the source of health for our stock, plants, and ultimately for ourselves and others who enjoy our special meats. In addition we supplement our stock with organic kelp meal (seaweed) which is a complete source of trace minerals as well as with mineral salt. Our sheep and lambs are provided with a healthy and peaceful environment with plenty of fresh air, sunshine and exercise. We take pride in how we husband our stock and endeavor to be good stewards of the land and animals, treating both with respect and care. Breeding stock is sold when available and meat regularly by appointment at the farm. We also sell and ship frozen meat to customers in New England and eastern New York.

Our "Natural Angus Baby Beef" comes from yearling steers and bulls that are about 800 pounds as compared to industrial feedlot steers which weigh about 1200 pounds. Angus is the name of the breed—a black English breed renowned for its beef quality. "Natural Beef" is from animals that have received no antibiotics in their feed and have no growth implants. These yearling beefs are slaughtered at 800–900 pounds, which is 300–400 pounds less than industrially raised cattle. Because they are younger, the beef is generally more tender and leaner. Price includes slaughter and vacuum/freeze packing. Sold in quarter, side, or whole units only. Customer picks up at Gore Custom Meats in Stephens City, Virginia. Hollin Farm, Tom Davenport, 11324

NO ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIPARISITES, ADDED HORMONES, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, or ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS Optimum health is achieved by humane treatment (we don’t ‘cut’ our animals), fresh grass, herbs, sunshine and air, and a reliance on nature before we intervene.

In practice this means what we take out of the environment we put back in, so land and resources such as water, soil and fertility can be replenished and are available to future generations. Our products are USDA inspected, vacuum-packed for quality, and meet high standards for freshness, tenderness and flavor. Individual cuts or family value boxes can be purchased year round. Religious requirements can be met such as halal certification. We deliver locally to the Minneapolis, Minnesota /Menomonie, Wisconsin metro areas and ship across the country. Please feel free to call or e-mail us with questions. Shepherd Song Farm, LLC., Judith Moses, N12835 CR

Fort Causeway is a draft horse powered family farm located just east of Lovell, Wyoming, nestled against the Big Horn Mountains. Homesteaded five years ago, we built the infrastructure and now farm on 80 flood-irrigated acres using gravity gated pipe. We do our best to farm using some of the newest technology and equipment available in draft animal powered farming. Our family of six raises pastured pork, poultry, laying hens, dorper and katahdin lambs, and a few beef. We also utilize a few resident milk cows whose products serve our family, improve our pigs, and are supplied as pet food for others interested. Our pastures are rotated intensively, and contain many varieties of grasses and legumes. In addition, we supply all of our meat animals with 6-day-old green sprouted fodder year round for fantastic nutrition, taste, and consistency through all seasons. This fodder system also allows us to provide certified organic feed, and increases stocking rates without stressing our pastures. The animals are well protected from predators by our Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs; puppies are available from time to time, started in training as family loving livestock guard dogs. We follow organic and natural practices, though have not yet pursued Certified Organic status. No pesticides or herbicides have been used on the property for several years. We grow a variety of produce in season, as well as raspberries, chokecherries, plums, and buffaloberries. We may look into CSA options in the future, for those interested. We work, train, and sell a few outside teams of draft horses per year, in addition to regularly working our own draft horse rescues. Four foxtrotter saddle horses are available for local trail rides in the Big Horn or Pryor Mountains. We offer grass finished animals live, or processed through local USDA inspected facilities, and are willing to ship. Our farm embraces day and overnight visitors, both through a travel hostel and a vacation rental, and 4 RV sites, by appointment. Come and see your food growing!

Hecht Creek Ranch is located in Centennial Valley outside of Laramie, Wyoming just 45 minutes north of Colorado. As a family business, our goal is to promote the natural resources of the land and provide a lifestyle that is fulfilling to all who live here. As a consumer, you develop a personal relationship with the family that raises your meat. You contract to buy a specific, live animal and we process and deliver the meat as a service to you. We pledge to walk you through the production process, the customized butchering options and even invite you to come out and visit our ranch. We believe that great beef comes from cows grazing on high-country grass and living the way they were meant to live, without the stress of feedlots and mass-production values. We think you will agree. Our products are available year round. You can purchase directly from the ranch via our website, or at the Big Hollow Food Co-Op in downtown Laramie, or enjoy us at the Alibi pub in Laramie. We deliver in Laramie for free and also ship nationally. We guarantee our beef to meet your needs and expectations and invite you to contact us with any questions. Let us be your rancher! Hecht Creek Ranch, Matt Sigel, 72 Hecht Creek Road, Laramie WY 82070. (307) 399-5619. Touchstone Angus offers grass finished beef raised entirely on our ranch near Lusk, Wyoming. We have worked many years to identify angus cattle that are inherently capable of consistently producing tender beef within a grass/forage only diet. This hard to find genetic tenderness combined with the special quality of the native grass diet available on the open ranges of Wyoming sets Touchstone grass finished beef apart in taste. Our beef is not certified as organic due to the time and money necessary for the process. Nonetheless, the beef has no added hormones and no antibiotics are fed. The cattle are raised on native pastures that are not sprayed with herbicides or farmed. Touchstone beef is sold in whole, halves and quarters (half of a half). The beef is processed at a USDA inspected plant in Elizabeth, CO where it can be picked up frozen or stored in a locker. We can ship beef as well if you live outside the Denver area and are unable to pick it up. Touchstone Angus Beef, Brad James, 440
Petz Road / PO Box 165, Lusk WY 82225. (307) 340-1456. Williams Grassfed LLC is located in north-central Wyoming in the foothills of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains. The land has been in the family since 1890, and we are the fifth generation to be entrusted with the responsibility of being stewards of the land. The sixth generation, Marilee Juliet, came into this world on April 12th, 2006, and our goal is to provide her the opportunity to become a responsible steward of the land as well. We use Holistic Resource Management practices to manage the land and create a self-sustaining ranch that supports not only cattle, but an abundance of big game animals, small animals, waterfowl, fish, and songbirds. We use nature as a guide in all of our management decisions, which is why we calve in sync with nature and use no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides on the land. We keep our cattle happy with fresh pasture, pure water, clean air, and we treat the animals in a very humane and dignified manner. Our philosophy is Healthy Land -> Healthy Animals -> Healthy People. We sell grass-fed beef in wholes, halves, quarters, and custom orders. All of our beef has been raised here on the ranch so we are certain that it contains no antibiotics, steroids, hormones, or animal by-products. We strongly believe in our product which is why we go to great lengths to provide a USDA-inspected product for our customers, which we can ship anywhere in the United States. We process once a year, in June, so get your orders in early to insure availability.
