Beef
Beef
The foundation of our beef is our forages, mainly grass and legumes on pasture. These plants take sun, water, and carbon from the air and produce the energy and protein needed to grow and sustain the cattle. We see this as the most restorative and forgiving process on our farm. Our goal is to raise animals outside, in ways that benefit them, heal the earth and nourish the people who eat them.
We rotate our small herd multiple times per week on pasture. This resting of the pasture allows for regrowth, as well as a break in the parasite life cycle. In the winter they are fed hay, mostly harvested from our land. Our cattle are never fed grains. We raise a variety of heritage breeds and are moving towards breeding our own stock.
All of the beef is dry aged for 3 weeks and can be purchased in bulk or by individual cut.
Limited supply of custom orders (halves or quarters) for 2026, inquire about current availability. Email upstreamfarmer@gmail.com with questions.
We have on hand USDA packaged beef that is available for purchase in the roadside stand or as an add on to your CSA. We use Caledonia Packing which is animal welfare certified.
