Organic, Grass-Fed Beef
Buy Beef Direct | San Francisco Bay Area
We raise organic, all natural, grass-fed beef on beautiful farmland in Marin County near San Francisco, California. The animals eat organic clover and grass and are never subjected to artificial hormones, growth promotants, or antibiotics. We treat our animals with the utmost care, using humane animal welfare practices. For more information about the many benefits of eating organic grass-fed meat, click here. The average age of our cattle at harvest time is 18-24 months old.
You can buy our grass-fed beef by the quarter cow, half cow, or whole animal, as detailed in the chart below. You are welcome to check out some FAQ’s on the process of buying meat direct from the ranch.
We encourage our customers to find friends and family with whom to share a whole beef. We can also work to try to pair you up with other customers who are interested in splitting a quarter cow, half cow or whole cow. If a quarter of a beef is too much for you, or you just want to try a smaller quantity to make sure you like it (you will!), we also sell individual cuts of beef. Please contact us for more information about this, or come visit us at the farmer's market at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, north of San Francisco every Sunday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

If you purchase a quarter of a beef, there is a standard way that the butcher shop will cut and wrap your meat. If you desire customization in your cut and wrap instructions, please order a half of a beef or more.
It is possible for bones and offal to be included in your order, but if you are purchasing less than a whole beef, please remember that you are sharing a whole animal and so the availability of the bones and offal will depend on the customers you are sharing your beef with.
Your order will be comprised of approximately the following cuts of meat.
