Eatwild does not sell any meat or dairy products, so please contact these farmers and ranchers directly for additional information or to buy their products: Amy’s Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef thrive on native grass from birth to harvest. Amy and her husband, Todd, have been grass-finishing Angus-crossbred beef for 18 years directly serving local consumers along the Colorado Front Range. Our cattle “finish,” in their second year, on high-altitude mountain pastures in western Larimer County. These lands are lush with native grasses, plants, and forbs that provide a nourishing and serene environment. The end result is content cattle that consistently produce great tasting, healthy meat. Our beef cattle are sourced and hand-selected from two, upstanding, family-owned ranches that raise healthy, hardy animals grown on grass in their rural, native pastures. In winter they are supplemented with hay, to insure a natural forage diet. Humane methods are always used to move the cattle frequently to holistically maintain our lands and waterways that also feed local and migrating wildlife. We are not USDA certified organic but raise only forage-fed (no grain, no soy, no corn), hormone and antibiotic-free meat. Our tender and deliciously flavored beef is lean and nutritious, providing a distinct flavor that only high-altitude grass-finished cattle produce. We sell whole, half and quarters of beef. A limited supply of assorted cuts, burger, and organ meats may also be available in early December. The meat is ready for pickup, or delivery can be arranged from October to December. We harvest and process our cattle at a small, custom plant located in Evans, CO where the meat is dry aged for 14–21 days and USDA inspected. Orders can be made by phone, or complete the website order form and mail. Please visit our website and read what some of our customers have to say! Amy’s Grass Fed Beef,

A little about us: We knew from the start that we wanted to be different than most, so we started brainstorming and setting our mindsets to becoming a ranch that would stand out and be distinct. We have made all farming and ranching decisions based on regenerative agriculture and sustainability. Currently, we manage 100+ head of cattle that cross-graze approximately 2000+ acres of grassland pastures. We practice regenerative farming and ranching for grass-eating animals. We want to mimic how animals lived in the wild before industrialized ranching took hold. We aim to build microbial activity, carbon retention and water infiltration in our soil. We practice sustainability by cross fencing our pastures and rotational grazing. We are building wildlife friendly habitats, and bringing in beneficial insects, plants, and different animal species. We love knowing where our food has come from and how our animals are treated and raised. We take pride in knowing our animals are well cared for and happy. Loved animals equal happy customers. The future is bright here at Prairie Opal Ranch and we hope you will join us on our journey. We look forward to sharing our fresh products with you. Have a question? Call or email us.

Rivendell Farms is a regenerative agricultural operation located on Plus Lazy K Ranch in the mountains near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. We renourish the earth by restoring and nurturing ecological cycles to promote diverse, resilient biological communities through holistic resource management using regenerative agriculture techniques. Our core mission is to cultivate a virtuous cycle to renourish the land that nourishes us. This cycle is fueled by the sun and moved by water to nourish soil, plants, animals, and people. Fundamental to the concept of this cycle is the commonality of its constituents. One main example is the relationship between the microbiota in the soil, the rumen, and the human body. Plus Lazy K Beef is better for you and better for the earth. This meat demonstrates how farming techniques can renourish the earth and our bodies. Our valley has highly mineralized volcanic soils, pristine spring water, and an abundance of sunshine; they combine to produce nutrient-dense beef that tastes amazing.

Our customers consistently tell us this is the best tasting, most tender beef they have been able to find. We believe it is a combination of forage quality, breed type, humane handling and heavy mature finished condition on the cattle. Each of these factors is critical.

We are passionate about raising happy, healthy animals in a natural way that benefits the environment and provides healthy quality meat and eggs. Our farm uses natural methods with no hormones, no antibiotics, no fertilizers, or chemicals. Our Highland cattle live on a natural diet of only the fresh grass in the majestic Rocky Mountain Valley. Highland beef is the oldest breed of cattle with many health benefits. Our cattle are on pasture year-round and are a closed herd with no exposure to disease. Calves stay with their mothers for at least 4 months. In winter, Highland cattle use their horns to forage through snow, and we supplement with grass hay. Our pigs are fed an eclectic diet and have anytime-access to natural forage and plenty of sunshine. The access to sunshine makes the meat richer in micronutrients, particularly fat-soluble vitamins E and D and selenium. Our pasture-raised chickens eat grass, grains, bugs and scratch around in the dirt, the way nature intended. Pastured poultry are more nutrient-dense specifically in omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A and E. Get to know your farmer, contact us for a farm tour!
