Contact them directly for additional information or to buy their products: Alderspring Ranch offers a complete line of beef products including all typical cuts, ground beef (90-95% lean), a variety of sausages made without preservatives, and hickory smoked steak strips. Small quantities are available seasonally at the Boise 8th Street Farmer's Market and year-round at the Boise Consumer Co-op. Packs of 20-40 lbs. as well as quarters, halves and wholes are available for home delivery in parts of Idaho and Western Montana. Our Angus cattle are raised from start to finish on our mountain ranch in remote east-central Idaho, eating nothing but intensively-managed pastures and locally-harvested stored forages in the coldest months. We use no antibiotics, additives, genetically modified feeds, animal byproducts, steroids, hormone implants or pour-on insecticides. Our remote valley has no row crop industry, eliminating contamination from agricultural or industrial chemicals. We use quiet, stress-free management because it is the right thing to do, and for improved animal health and meat quality. We harvest animals at approximately 18 months and dry-age 20 days for optimal leanness and tenderness at a USDA inspected family-owned processor. We have been finishing and selling direct for over ten years, and have perfected a production and processing model that gives a consistently tender delicious beef.

We are a family-owned smart pasture operation producing 100% pasture-raised and grass-finished beef without using antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, GMO's or ethanol by-products for those who recognize the exceptional value of all-grass-fed beef. We are Steve and Debra Campbell. Looking for tender beef? We have been tutored in
the art of seeing the external indicators on the animals that are associated
with tender, flavorful meat in the inside. We have been using this knowledge
for years in our breeding and selection process to insure tender beef
on your plate. Our breeding program is centered around Red Devons. (Click
here to view a brand new video about Red Devons.) We utilize on-the-farm harvest to minimize stress, and dry-age for 18 to 21 days. Most of our split-half, half, and whole beef are processed by an Abattoir located right here in New Meadows. We also use a USDA packaging facility, allowing us to sell 20 or 40 pound beef bundles and ground beef by the pound. All of these products are available year round. For ordering information, pricing, a copy of our current newsletter, or if you just want to visit, contact us by phone or e-mail, or better yet, stop by the ranch! Here at Campbell Trinity C Ranch, Steve and Debra Campbell raise beef with a focus on the superior health benefits—for the Earth, for the animals and for humans—that come from grass that is grown and properly harvested from nutrient-dense soils. Thank you for supporting a local ranch family! Campbell Trinity C Ranch, Steve and Debra Campbell, 3975

Our animals have a symbiotic relationship with the pastures on which they graze, each feeding the other without chemical inputs to either. While most chickens are raised in 100% confinement, we've found that Pasturing our birds adds quality while making farming simpler and environmentally friendly. On our pastures, there's an entire ecosystem geared towards absorbing manure, eliminating pollution. The addition of fresh green plants to the chickens' diet adds quite a bit of flavor to the meat and eggs, while the lack of crowding makes health problems uncommon. Eggs from Pastured Poultry not only taste better and have darker yolks, but they are certainly higher in vitamins and have a superior Omega-3/Omega-6 balance to ordinary eggs. Likewise, the meat from Pastured Poultry tastes better, while being lower in fat and more nutritious, as well. Our Grazing Program ensures that our cattle are always grazing on lush green fresh grass, while at the same time replacing the broad spectrum nutrients they are removing. Every few days the cattle are moved to fresh pasture, and replaced by chickens, which then scatter the beef fertilizer while adding their own variety and controlling fly and bug populations. The chickens also convert the grass to luscious natural meat and eggs for your dining pleasure. Raw milk is offered to the surrounding community through our Herdshare Program. Our dairy cows, likewise, are never fed any grain, and are free to roam the pasture day and night. In the winter they are fed our own organically grown hay, supplemented with a little ground dried peas and minerals. We offer Free-Range Eggs and the Herd Share Program year round as well as high quality Grass Finished Beef and Broiler/Fryer Chickens in season. Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter, or frozen by the package. Orders for beef and chicken must be placed well in advance, as we sell out early each year. Call for availability.

ID 83813. (208) 683-4410. Homestead Natural Foods LLC is a co-operative of four ranching families that have joined together to bring real food to health-conscious consumers. We’ve gone back to raising cattle, pigs and poultry the way our grandparents did: born and bred on natural pasture, with no hormones or antibiotics. Homestead Natural beef is raised antibiotic free, growth stimulant/hormone free, and grain/corn free and are all raised from birth to finish on a grass diet. Homestead Natural pork is raised 100% free range and fed a minimal amount of barley, no corn, soy beans or GMO feeds. Homestead Natural poultry products are raised free range on grass pasture and fed a minimal amount of grain. Cattle, pigs and poultry raised in “concentrated animal feeding operations” (CAFOs) may cost less at the checkout stand, but you pay a high price in taste and nutrition. You see, beef, pork and chicken raised on natural pasture don’t just taste better… they’re better for you. And when it comes to flavor, just ask the folks who have eaten our beef, pork or chicken at Idaho restaurants like the Red Feather Lounge, Bitter creek Alehouse, Café d’Paris, Jenny's Lunch Line, Lucky 13, St. Luke’s Hospital in Boise, Galena Lodge, Segos and CKs in Sun Valley, Brick 29 in Nampa and Bon Appetit in Caldwell. Beef, pork and chicken raised with sustainable agricultural practices may cost more, but like our grandparents would have told you, you get what you pay for. And when it comes to your health, isn’t that worth a little extra? NOTE: Homestead Natural Foods has a local delivery
option if you live within 100 miles of the Boise, Idaho metro area, OR

ranch operating in the Five Mile Meadow just north of Soda Springs,

Highway 30, Soda Springs ID 83276. (208) 547-3180. Lava Lake Lamb is 100% natural Idaho grass-fed lamb – never placed in a feed lot, never given any hormones, never given antibiotics. Our lambs graze with their mothers and continue to drink mother’s milk all their lives, getting important antibodies for good health and vitality, and making the best-tasting meat. Lava Lake’s lambs also spend most of their lives grazing on wild, fragrant range grasses, herbs and other plants, as Nature intended. Raised with care by our experienced shepherds, our lambs are truly “free-range.” Traveling from the deserts of the Snake River Plain to the high mountains near Sun Valley, our animals log hundreds of miles during their lifetimes – they are never confined in feedlots. The result is meat that is lean yet tender and flavorful – we think you’ll find it the best you’ve tasted. Our headquarters is Lava Lake Ranch, located just southeast of Sun Valley in Idaho’s Pioneer Mountains. As a family of ranchers and environmentalists, we are committed to restoring and preserving this land because of its history, its beauty and its biological diversity. We are so committed to this principle that all net profits from our grass-fed lamb sales help fund our land conservation work. Lava Lake Lamb is available year-round and can be purchased by individual cuts, halves or wholes and shipped anywhere in the U.S. It is USDA-inspected, dry-aged for ten days, then frozen and cryovaced to retain its freshness and flavor.

Our grass fed beef eat only grass and hay that we have produced here on the Ranch, mostly natural timothy hay. We are certified organic by the State of Idaho, but we go well beyond what the state requires for certification. We raise our animals in a natural stress free environment not only because it makes the meat healthier and better tasting, but also out of respect for the animals that we raise. Some of the native tribes of this continent may have had it right when they reverenced the spirit of the animal that had given its life for the survival and health of the one consuming it. You can learn more about us and get specific information on how we can help you feed your family in a healthier fashion at our web site. Rocky A Ranch, Blake and Susan Atkin, 7579
North Westside Highway, Clifton ID 83228. (208) 747-3414. Rolan Bison Ranch located near Weippe Idaho raises grassfed bison. We started raising bison because of the health benefits for our family. Now we would like to help provide a source of healthy meat to others who are also committed to eating healthy. Our animals are pastured on a mix of natural grasses that are free of pesticides and herbicides. They are supplemented with natural vitamins and minerals with absolutely no animal by-products, growth hormone, or antibiotics. They receive no grain, but the meat is very lean, flavorful, and tender. We use a mobile butcher because it is more humane and eliminates unnecessary stress to the animals. Animals that are less stressed yield a more tender, higher quality product. The bison meat is available in individual packages, split halves, or halves. Because our animals are grassfed, we butcher in the late summer or early fall. Orders are taken throughout the year for halves or quarters to be delivered at the time of butchering. We also sell live animals for breeding, robes, skulls, etc. You are invited to contact us for additional information or to schedule a tour of our ranch.
