Our Process
From Pasture to Plate
We believe how an animal lives—and how it leaves this world—matters.
Our cattle and sheep are:
Raised entirely on pasture
Field harvested calmly, without transport stress
Processed locally
All that is not meat or useful hides is returned to the land through composting
After processing, I personally pick up your beef and deliver it directly to you to put in your freezer. This allows me to maintain relationships with both our processor and our customers—and ensures nothing is lost along the way.
This is food raised and delivered in relationship.
We have a vision of thriving family ranches, caring for the soil and water and the needs of the animals are a priority — the chance to grow up naturally. Complimenting these ranches are flourishing communities of people who want healthy food. We provide food connected to healthy soil and grown in a manner that enhances the health of the people who enjoy it and the land that creates it. Yet, food travels an average of two thousand miles before it gets to our plates. Since we can enhance ecological health and our local economy by eating closer to home, why accept this distance?
In the spirit of our vision, we want to give you the opportunity to:
Enjoy the best beef and lamb — slowly dry-aged and locally hand cut with care;
Have a personal relationship with the people who grow your meat so you know where and how it is grown;
Strengthen our local economy by keeping food dollars at home;
Maintain Oregon's open space and wildness by keeping ecologically sound ranches alive.
