About Our Meat
The meat we sell is from animals we raise on our farm. We raise the male calves of our dairy herd for beef. These steers are raised on pasture, hay, and silage that we grow on our farm, supplemented, as needed by purchased organic hay. Our organic certification also assures you that no hormones or antibiotics have ever been used. Our beef is grass-finished unlike the standard American method of finishing (fattening) beef on corn or grain. For information on the many benefits of grass-finished beef see www.eatwild.com.
Organic beef is the most strictly regulated meat available. It is the only beef guaranteed to have been third party monitored at every step from farm to table, and not to have used any animal by-products as feed in production.
We also raise hogs on our pasture. In addition to organic grain
we feed them whey, the by-product of our cheese making. This whey
helps produce a wonderful quality pork. We call our pork Whey
TastierTM.
Our meat is processed locally by Island Grown Farmers Coop, a USDA inspected facility in our neighborhood of which we are members. We offer a wide range of cuts: steaks, roasts, ribs, ground beef and pork, sausage, pork chops, liver, soup bones, dog bones, etc. We sell our meat frozen on the farm and at farmers markets in the Seattle area and Northwest Washington.
