We harvest our beef products four times per year. The beef is USDA certified and if required, the beef can be Kosher certified.

BEEF CUTS CHEAT SHEET

THE BEEF SECTION of the grocery store or butcher can be confusing even for the most devoted omnivores.  How is a tri-tip steak different from a New York Steak?  What about sirloin tip?  To give you a better understanding of where your beef comes from, we have taken the most popular retail cuts and charted them according to where they belong on the cow.  We also tell if the cost is inexpensive, moderate or expensive and suggest the best cooking methods for each.

Our farm business looks forward to feeding your family.
