Grass Fed

Grass Finished

beyond organic

We work with the land to regenerate the soil and raise the most nutrient-dense beef available. We work with nature, not against.

We do not spray herbicides or pesticides on our land. We use rotational grazing to mimic nature. This gives the land rest, and the cattle get to eat fresh forage left untouched since the last grazing.

We plant multiple forage species to give our cattle a balanced diet. Instead of eating only one type of grass, they eat a mixture of summer and winter annuals and perennials.

Not Your Conventional Farm. Not Your Conventional Farmer.

We also plant cover crops for summer growth to continue building soil using a diverse plant species mix. We feed the soil, so the soil feeds us.

we use plants to restore the soil!

We plant a multi-species mix in the fall for many reasons such as soil health, early spring grazing, revitalization, weed suppression, etc. Tilling the soil damages the vital community that exists in the world beneath our feet. By using a rich diversity of plants, we can feed this unseen world and feed ourselves at the same time. There is no need for chemical fertilizers, chemical herbicides, and chemical pesticides. All of these already exist in nature (to name a few: manure, composted plant litter, parasitic wasps, naturally occurring fungi and bacteria) and they are far better than the man-made applications.

In conventional agriculture, we find a lack of diversity and a lack of life itself. In nature, we find abundance.

This large turnip we found in the pasture is bigger than a softball!

Regenerate, Rest, REstore

In just a couple of months, we regenerated a pasture that had been neglected for years. The blackberry briar was knee-to-waist high, and the thatch was so thick it choked out the majority of the grass. By mob grazing livestock and using absolutely no herbicides, we brought this pasture back to life. First, we mob grazed cattle. By overstocking small plots of this pasture using one strand of electric fence for short periods of time, we moved the cattle across the land to trample the forage and kickstart the soil microbes. Then, we took the cows off the land and mowed the field once. We let let the land rest for one month. When we came back to look at the results one month later, we found grass covering the entire pasture 6 inches tall. Take care of the soil, and the soil will take care of you.
