There isn’t a food source that’s been more simplified than beef. Thus, the greatest potential for a food revolution lies in the chucks, ribs, loins, and rumps of beef cattle across the country.
Imagine, as I do, a trip to the farm: “We’re having guests over for a tasting. I’ll take a t-bone from the 2 year old grassfed Canadienne heifer, another from the yearling Holstein/Angus cross steer that was fattened on corn, and one more from the six year old Devon cow raised on grass and fattened on barley for a summer.” This is the stuff I dream about.

Read MoreA person could have a darn good weekend by visiting each restaurant that buys beef from our farm.

You should try it.

Frequently my focus has been snapped away from other tasks as my ears register the sound and my entire body tenses into fight mode, prepared to speed across the farm and aide a member of the herd.
Read MoreIn a world plagued by constricted beef options, where steaks from across the country are mutually interchangeable because they share a common industrial template, our farm is the beacon for better eating. EVERYONE sells 'fresh meat', but NOBODY has their own cattle. Where, then, does their beef come from?
Read MoreWednesdays are our favorite because this is the day we re-stock to Beef Barn with piles of our highly coveted steaks, roasts, and ground beef. It's not just a small blip on the radar; Dad hauls full pickup loads of our community minded BEEF back from the abattoir every week.
