Providing grass fed beef is our specialty. We sell everything from grass-fed natural ground beef by the pound to half and whole grass-fed cows, from our family farm to your family’s table.
The AWA logo means that our farm meets the standards of this third party certification: “Animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range on true family farms with the ‘most stringent’ welfare standards according to the World Society for the Protection of Animals.”

Our cows spend their entire lives grazing in open Tennessee pastures.
We have slowly been breeding a herd of cows that thrive in the Tennessee hills and rolling green pastures. They are never confined to feedlots and fed grain. If you are not familiar with our grass-fed beef you need to give this a try.
Half beef with all cuts – $3.15 /lb (hanging wt, average 250 lb.)

ABOUT “HANGING WEIGHT”:
The price of the family beef is based on the hanging weight, and includes cutting, wrapping and freezing. The hanging weight is the weight of the beef while it is naturally aging in the meat locker. Once the beef is cut and packaged into individual cuts the loss of the fat, bones and other trim amounts to about 35 to 45 % of the hanging weight. So the actual take home weight of a 500 pound hanging weight beef will be around 285 pounds.
A whole beef weighing around 500 pounds will take up around 10 to 14 cubic feet of freezer space.
