The following farms and ranches have certified
that they meet Eatwild's
criteria for producing grassfed meat, eggs and dairy products.
Contact them directly for additional information or to buy their
products:
A Bar H Farm is located in the southeast
corner of Arizona. I partner with Joshua Koehn in activities related
to selling and productions. I raise sheep and Josh raises the beef
and poultry. Our products are beef, lamb, broilers, eggs and
holiday turkeys. Whole and half beeves and lambs are available.
The meat is cryovac wrapped and frozen.
Josh and I are like-minded producers who are passionate
about offering the best natural product we can. It is our intent to
raise tender, tasty and healthy meat and eggs. We raise cattle and
sheep as ruminants were meant to be raised: without corn, grain, or
distillery products. Our beef and lamb are on green pastures all of
their lives with the exception of October and November when it is transitioning
from warm weather to cool. At that time our pastures are changing and
the cattle and sheep may need to be supplemented with alfalfa hay.
Josh raises the poultry on green pastures as well.
They roam freely and are provided with shade, water, feed and protection.
A benefit of having poultry in the pastures is that they fertilize
the fields naturally. Josh makes his own chicken feed, which assures
us that it is free of additives, hormones and other unwanted products.
We sell our meat and eggs to buying groups, CSA
groups, and individuals in Flagstaff, Payson, Phoenix, Tucson, and
Bisbee, Arizona. The routes are listed on our website.
We welcome visitors to our farms. We feel consumers
benefit from knowing who is raising their food.

steaks, sirloin steaks, shoulder roasts, sirloin tip roasts, rump roasts,
Pikes Peak roasts, stew meat, short ribs, soup bones, and ground beef.

San Rafael Valley Natural Beef
100% Grass-Fed is Naturally 100% Organic.
Angus-Hereford cattle are raised in one of the last
intact short-grass prairies in the Western US. Towering cottonwoods and
riverbeds meander through the high Sonoran grasslands that gently roll
across the valley floor. These cattle eat native Arizona grasses
and drink pure water drawn up by windmill from the Coronado Forest Aquifer
and watershed that become the headwaters of the Santa Cruz River. At
5000 feet, the ranch is in the heart of the valley, arguably the most
beautiful cattle country in Arizona.
All orders are customized, no minimums and customer
selections are based on availability. Animals are harvested regularly
to keep all orders fresh. Meat is dry aged for 21 days. All cutting,
packaging and deliveries are overseen by the owner to maintain the highest
standards possible.
These animals never see a feed-lot, never get
hormones or antibiotics. Customers are encouraged to visit the
ranch with family and friends.
You are welcome to visit www.srvbeef.com but
all orders are done directly by phone or email.
