Our mission is to produce the most unusually extraordinary, exceptional-quality meats though thoughtful, humane treatment of animals fed unique and carefully selected fodder.
We promote sustainable farming methods and realize the best solution isn't always the obvious one. We will never stop experimenting and loving every day of it!
What is humane?
In our opinion an animal is humanely raised if it has plenty of space to exhibit natural behavior and well as friends and/or family for constant company and companionship.
It is very impotent to us that all of our animals are raised without worry, stress or pain from the moment they arrive on our farm until they are butchered.
What is grass-fed olive oil beefalo?
With a remarkable amount of trial and error we have developed our own method of drying local olive oil lees similar to the Japanese method. This incredible finisher is fed to our beefalo (Bison x Charolais cross cattle) along with at least 60 days on a specialized grass-based diet with brewers grains, corn, molasses & whiskey mash added to enhance the taste, texture and healthy fats.
Unlike the Japanese method which restricts movement, vitamin-A intake (for extreme marbling) and feeds a grain-based diet our beefalo is grass-fed and they get plenty of exercise. This produces an extraordinarily different result. Sweet, tender and healthy meat with flecks of marbling and that juicy, umami olive-oil flavor. It's not to fatty to enjoy as a 1" steak nor is it tough and gamey as much of the grass-finished beef I have tried.
Why beefalo?
-It's very healthy! According to the USDA beefalo has:
-Superior vitamin levels vs. regular beef
-Nearly 1/3 less cholesterol vs. regular beef
-79% less fat vs. regular beef
-66% less calories vs. regular beef
-Exceptional quality meat- Beefalo claims the prize of "Best Grass-fed Steak in America" more years than "standard" breeds. The coveted American Royal Steak Competition judges steaks on flavor and texture.
-Longer Reproductive Lifespan, over twice that of regular taurine cattle
-Exceptional maternal instincts
-High conception rates, excellent milk production and quality
-Ease of calving/small birth weight yet
-Rapidly growing calves don't need hormones or grain for exceptional gain
-Disease resistant
-Tolerant of extreme heat and cold
-Requires up to 40% less cost to produce vs. traditional breeds (for those with access to grazing)
