With every bite, you can taste the difference that comes from using the whole cow, delivering the highest quality ground beef available.

5. How long do you hang the beef?

We take great care in hanging our beef for 21 days to enhance its tenderness and flavor. This dry aging process allows the natural enzymes in the meat to break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender texture. The controlled environment also intensifies the beef's flavor, developing a richer, deeper taste that is highly sought after. By hanging the beef for three weeks, we ensure it reaches its peak quality, offering a superior eating experience with every cut. It’s a time-honored technique that highlights the true potential of the meat, ensuring each bite is both succulent and flavorful.

6. Why is grass fed so different?

Grass-fed beef is considered healthier than conventionally raised, grain-fed beef due to its unique nutrient profile. It contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation, as well as higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may offer anti-cancer benefits. Grass-fed beef also tends to have lower saturated fat, supporting cardiovascular health, and more vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells. Additionally, grass-fed cattle are not exposed to antibiotics or hormones, unlike their grain-fed counterparts.

7. What about refunds?

As a food product, we do not offer refunds on beef purchases to ensure the highest level of quality and safety for our customers. Since beef is perishable, once it’s sold, we cannot accept returns. Similarly, we do not offer refunds on bulk beef deposits; however, we understand that plans may change, and we’re happy to work with you on adjusting your pickup or delivery dates to accommodate your needs. Our goal is to provide flexibility and excellent customer service, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with scheduling.

We accept all forms of payment for your convenience, whether it’s credit or debit cards, cash, or other payment methods. Once your order is confirmed, we’ll reach out to you to arrange payment and ensure the process is smooth and easy. Our goal is to make the transaction as simple as possible, so you can focus on enjoying your high-quality beef!
