A &
B Homecoming Beef is located 1 1/2 miles south of Leeton, MO, which
is about 70 miles southeast of Kansas City, MO. Delivery is available
within a 100 mile radius.
Our family has been in the cattle business the past

pastures on our 80 acre farm with no grain ever. We buy some hay and
alfalfa from a neighbor to feed in the winter as needed along with our
stockpiled grass.
We use no antibiotics or growth hormones or pesticides.
We have a closed herd with registered Angus bulls and Gelbvieh cows.
We do not buy barn calves or use any other source—if we are out
of beef we have to wait until the next year.
Whole, halves, and split halves are available. Meat
is processed by Hetherington Meats and dry-aged 2 weeks.
Please take time to visit our farm website.

Alger Family Farm wants
to provide people with healthy food as affordably as we can. Currently,
we offer free-range eggs, pastured poultry, and lamb.
Our free range hens sleep in a moveable hoophouse
(to protect them from predators), which we move every morning to fresh
grass. We give them scratch grains, oyster shells, kelp and salt. They
are allowed out during the day so they can eat all the bugs and plant
material that they desire. Our pastured poultry are kept in a brooder
for 2–3 weeks depending on the weather. As soon as they are feathered
out and/or it is warm enough, we put them in our moveable broiler pens.
These pens allow them fresh air, grass, bugs, sunshine, and keep them
protected from possums, raccoons, hawks and other predators. When they
are around eight weeks old, they are ready to butcher.
Our sheep only eat grass and other plants, never
any grain or unnatural supplements, only salt and kelp. We never give
them hormones or antibiotics. We just expanded our acreage and plan to
offer "salad bar" beef and goat in the near future.

Angel Acres Farm, LLC, is home to grass
fed, grass finished Belted Galloway beef cattle.
This gentle Scottish breed is handled in the most
humane manner, grazing the paddocks among the hills and oaks of middle
Missouri. During weaning, while we walk among the calves, they are tamed
and become familiar with our voices and the barnyard atmosphere. Every
effort is made to keep them healthy, preventing the need for the use
of medications. No hormones are implanted.
After 20-26 months of grazing (slow food indeed)
the steers are processed. Inspected, frozen beef is marketed at
near-by cities through farmer’s markets, individuals, and at small
grocers and select restaurants. Shipping is possible. It is the delight
of all at Angel Acres Farm to be able to share this wonderful gift of
nature with our community.

At Cedar Cove Farm, we believe in raising
all natural, hormone and antibiotic free animals. We use no additives
or preservatives in our broiler chickens or meat rabbits.
Our broilers are available in June/July and again in September/October.
We work in a direct market basis, but will take orders.
The broilers are raised on grass beginning at the
third week of life in the protection of a "chicken tractor." The
tractor is moved to fresh grass twice daily. They are fed a supplement
of various grains mixed with Fertrell's Poultry Nutribalancer to ensure
proper trace minerals and optimal health. We also offer eggs from
free-range hens that thrive on a diet of grass and bugs and whatever
they can find. They sleep in permanent buildings and are
allowed to roam during the day.
Our rabbits are fed alfalfa pellets and supplemented
with fresh cut grass or hay. The rabbits are available as pets or meat,
already packaged. They are available in spring and fall, please
call for pricing and availability.
Cedar Cove Farm is also a Fertrell dealer and we
believe in returning to the ground what we take out of it. This is accomplished
through Fertrell's natural and organic certifiable soil enhancing products
and fertilizers, but mostly our continued education in the area of pasture
management. We offer various food supplements for the health of your
animals and, ultimately, you.
We believe in supporting local agriculture and staying
small, building relationships with our customers. We are always learning
and seeking advice with a goal of having quality pasture, land and animals.

Covered–L Farms has
been raising grassfed beef since 1992 in an environmentally
friendly manner with no pesticides, herbicides or growth
hormones. If we ever need to treat an animal with antibiotics,
it is sold into the conventional beef system. We really enjoy
providing flavorful and nutritious clean beef for mid-Missouri!
Our steers receive a minimum amount of non-starchy
supplement primarily in the winter for energy. Because we feed no grain,
the omega 3/omega 6 ratio remains very favorable, as confirmed by University
of MO analysis of our beef.
Halves, split halves or whole beeves are available
year around. Individual cuts in USDA-inspected packages are available
year around at both of the Clovers Natural Foods stores and The Root

Giles Ranch is a small farm in
Southwest Missouri just north of the Joplin/Carthage area
dedicated to raising all natural, grass-fed beef and poultry.
By all natural, we mean that our animals are not given steroids,
hormones, antibiotics, medicated feed, or any other performance
enhancers. We strive to give them a fresh, healthy, stress-free
environment.
Our cattle are fed fresh pasture or hay as well as
kelp meal and loose rock salt for mineral supplements.
Our laying hens are free to roam the pasture each
day getting much of their diet from grass and bugs.
Our broilers are raised on pasture after they are
old enough to withstand outdoor weather, and are moved each day to a
fresh patch of grass.
We now also offer raw, grass-fed Guernsey milk by
the gallon or half gallon.
Our main goal is to be good stewards of the land
and animals that God has so graciously provided and blessed us with.
We truly believe that by producing all natural grass-fed products, we
can help improve people's health and lives by providing them with a healthy
alternative to the factory raised products you find at most grocery stores.

Gladhour Farm is a family farm
in north central Missouri. The farming plan is sustainable
agriculture: row crops are certified organic; veal and beef
are raised naturally on cow's milk and forage with no added
hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics; and heritage breeds
(Irish Dexter Cattle and Babydoll Southdown Sheep) are raised
for breeding stock and enjoyment.
Historic landmarks, roadways, equipment, buildings,
and plants are valued to give visitors glimpses of times gone by and
current opportunities for simplicity, and are a highlight on the farm.
A pair of Dexter oxen are currently in training (a new adventure). When
you arrange to pick up your meat order, you can make a visit and watch
our progress!
Gladhour Farm’s natural beef and veal come
from pure Dexters and Dexter crosses, so the cuts are smaller than typical.
Some say the tenderness and flavor are subtly special and unusually delightful.
Shipping for GF meats may become a reality in the future. For now, totally
grass-finished beef and natural veal can be ordered ahead for a completely
custom-done whole-animal order, or can be bought by the half or sample
package by contacting GF with your order.
The meat is USDA-inspected, dry-aged, packaged and
frozen. Pick up is done by arranging to meet at the locker plant. With
your GF meat purchase, you are helping to sustain a farming community
by supporting both a small, local, family-run meat processing business
and Gladhour Farm family farm.

Grand View Pastures started
as a family passion, a passion to raise our own food in the
healthiest way we can, with the least impact on mother earth.
We wanted to know how our food is raised, what it was fed,
where did their water come from, and what medicine, drugs
or hormones did it consume during its life?
Not only did we want to know everything about our
food, but we wanted to control the whole process, so we bought a ranch
in the heart of the Missouri Ozark—clean air, fresh water and
lush pastures!
We started Grand View Pastures for ourselves and
now have extra grass fed, young (10–14 month old) Angus beef cattle
we can sell to you. All the cattle are raised using a rotational
grazing method, NO HORMONES, no cramped feed lots, no antibiotics,
no stress, no GMO feeds!
We are not in the meat business!
The Johnson Family wants to sell you a
live animal (1/2 and 1/4 ownerships are also available.) We will
give you a list of USDA certified butchers in our area where you can
make your own arrangements for dry aging, butchering and shipping, no
matter where you live. I will send you a beef chart and help you to study
up on your cuts.
We have 25 young beef cattle that we will sell this
year and suggest that they be butchered anytime after August 2009 at
about 600 to 700 pounds.
Call us and let us help you stock your freezer with
grass fed young beef.

Grazeland Farms produces pasture
raised eggs on 230 acres near Jamesport, Missouri. Our
hens are raised cage-free and get fresh pasture every
day. The mobile hen houses are moved by our Amish employees

We utilize farming practices that are very similar to those
of Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms. Joel's Feathernet
and Eggmobile systems have been a great inspiration to us,
and we have tried to apply many of his ideas to our farm.
Our goal is to expand pasture egg production to
a larger scale than has been done before, so more people can enjoy the
wonderful, healthy eggs that are produced in this system.
We welcome vistors to the farm on Monday-Friday.

milk from Jersey-cross cows. Owners Kerry and Barb
Buchmayer say that a few customers have wondered if their

The Buchmayers feed their cows a limited amount
of organic grain to supplement the fresh pasture. (The cows get about
1/3 to 1/2 as much grain as is typically fed in a standard dairy.) The
milk is hormone and pesticide free. Green Hills Harvest milk products
will soon be available in select stores in the Kansas City area.

Harmony Farms consists primarily
of two family farms raising rotationally grazed, grass fed,
grass finished beef with no antibiotics, no growth
hormones and no grain.
Cattle are moved to new paddocks daily except for
short periods in the winter when grass is scarce. During this time our
production method varies from the Eatwild standards in that we confine
them in paddocks and supplement their winter diet with small amounts
of soy hull pellets.
Our beef is packaged under USDA inspection and sold
in health food stores such as Nature's Pantry in Independence, Missouri
and in many Kansas City area Hy-Vee stores.
We have an e-commerce website in which we sell beef quarters, beef bundles

Mitts Family Naturals. Are you concerned with the industrialization of our food supply? Troubled by the increasing reports of food borne illness, food allergies and chronic disease? Are you ready to "opt-out" of the chemically laden, over processed, genetically modified food chain? If so, "opt-out" with us at Mitts Family Naturals, where we follow nature's patterns to provide nourishing products for your family.
We are growers of pastured chickens, rabbits and eggs. Our chickens and rabbits are housed in portable pens that are moved daily. This reduces disease and parasites, so antibiotics are not needed. The chickens and rabbits are allowed constant access to green pastures and sunshine increasing the nutritional value of the meat.
All butchering is done on the farm in a clean open air environment. No chemicals are used in processing. All "waste" from butchering is composted.
Our laying hens are allowed free roaming from sun-up to sun-down. They forage on the farm for what chickens were meant to eat. In return they give us great tasting eggs.
If you are interested in all natural, nutritious and tasty locally raised products, call us at Mitts Family Naturals: "Where the Chickens Don't have Nuggets or Fingers."

Pasture Nectar Farm and Mercantile is
located in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. Our primary product
is grass. Our grass gets harvested by some lucky cows and
chickens, and they turn it into lots of delectable things – the
nectar: milk, cream, eggs, meat.
Our Shorthorn cows produce excellent meat, milk and
cream for your family. They eat only fresh grass and clover from our
rotated chemical-free pastures during the growing season, and hay in
the winter—never steroids, hormones, or processed feeds, no animal
by-products. Our meat animals get no grain for your health and theirs.
Raw milk is sold in gallon-sized plastic jugs.
You are welcome to visit our squeaky-clean dairy parlor anytime.
We butcher June and October while cattle are on green
pasture for sweeter meat, then dry-age for 2 to 3 weeks. You can buy
individual cuts any time (while quantities last) or order by the whole,
half, or quarter beef. Please order early to make sure you get
some.
Our free-range, out-on-the-pasture hens turn our
grass and bugs into delicious, omega-3 eggs.

Peace Valley Poultry raises field-grazed chicken,
turkey and beef. In 1996 our family began growing wholesome range-raised
poultry. We are still a small family farm committed to providing high-quality,
healthy meat in a manner that respects God's creation.
Our chickens are treated carefully and naturally
from day one. The ration we feed them is one we mix from whole
grains, vitamins and minerals, and does NOT contain Genetically Modified
ingredients or any medications. The pasture they are raised on is pesticide-free/herbicide-free
and is managed holistically with rotationally grazed cattle, although
it is not certified organic. The chickens range freely from the hoop
house shelters that we pasture them from. These shelters are moved
to fresh grass daily to insure healthy birds and pastures. At processing
time we continue our practice of careful handling to provide high-quality
fresh chicken. The end result is a truly tasty bird; "Like chicken
used to taste," as many of our customers say. The chicken is sold
either whole, split (in half), cut-up, or in packages of individual parts.
In November we sell turkeys that are raised the same
way the chickens are.
We have heard many reports from satisfied customers who don't want anything
but field-grazed turkeys now that they have tried one. The flavor difference
is clear. Fresh turkeys are available on the farm and at delivery locations
before Thanksgiving.
We sell our poultry from our farm and also in Springfield, Missouri
and Rolla, Missouri; as well as several other areas in southeast Missouri.
Our grass-finished beef is grown in the same manner as our other meat,
carefully and conscientiously. At this time we are offering half or whole
beeves, not individual cuts.
Feel free to visit our website to see photos and learn more about our
farm.

dairy farm and direct market our grassfed beef, lamb,
and pastured pork. All of our animals are 100% grassfed
with the exception of our hogs, which are fed small grains
and milk and have access to fresh grass.
Our animals are given a fresh smorgasbord of forages
at least once a day and often 2-3 times a day. Our grazing management
practices provide high soil fertility, and highly mineralized soil. We
believe these high quality forages result in superior quality food.
We sell all of our meat by the individual cut, whole,
half, or bundles. You can purchase our products at our Farmers Markets:
Des Moines, IA and Kirksville, MO; from Buying Clubs in Des Moines, IA

Pure Pasture Beef. On our five-generation
family farm of rolling Missouri hills, tree-shaded pastures,
spring-fed ponds, waterfalls, and a winding stretch of the
Little Sac River, we raise all-natural 100% grass and clover-fed,
pasture-finished beef cattle from a closed herd of
original Black Angus stock started here 30 years ago. Those
years of experience have honed to perfection a premium, natural
beef (free of antibiotics, hormones, and animal by-products)
that we're pleased to offer as top of the line.
Pure Pasture Beef is for people with the highest
standards of quality and safety, who believe that informed food choices
can enhance their physical well-being and enrich their everyday lives.
Pure Pasture Beef is processed locally in a USDA Missouri certified organic
facility, going from farm to table.
Practicing a sustainable approach to cattle management
and land use here in the heart of Ozark Mountain foothills country, we
rotate our cattle from one pasture to the next on a regular basis so
they're grazing on clean, fresh grass (along with roaming bands of white-tailed
deer and wild turkey). We cut and bale our own red clover, alfalfa, orchard
grass and brome that we feed as hay in the winter; we feed the salt and
minerals; we monitor all animal health; we check the water; we wean the
babies. We do it all ourselves. Nothing gets between us and our cattle.
A farmer his whole life, Jim practiced law for thirty
years to help support the cattle habit he's had since being born into
a dairy family over fifty years ago. As President and CEO of the International
Association of Fairs and Expositions, Jim writes and speaks frequently
about agricultural issues here and abroad. Nancy, a Seattle transplant
and former college English teacher, supervises the daily farm operations,
takes care of the kids, and raises Missouri Fox Trotting horses.

Roth's Greener Pastures
LLC of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri produces wholesome meat and eggs that
are raised naturally. We focus on the animal's quality
of life and are rewarded with a quality product. We practice
sustainable agricultural practices with minimal off-farm
inputs, composting all processing by-products for use as
fertilizer. We do not use chemical fertilizer, herbicides
or pesticides on our pasture. None of our animals are given
hormones, antibiotics, or medicated feed or water. Fresh
air, plenty of green pasture and sunshine promote a healthy,
stress-free lifestyle. Spilled feed, water, and manure
are spread across the land, creating Roth's Greener Pastures.
Our chickens are raised free range and housed
in portable huts at night that are rotated in the pasture. Chickens are
humanely processed on the farm and aged before being vacuum packed and
frozen. Organic chicken can be raised by special request.
Our pork is raised on pasture in movable pens
and frequently rotated to fresh grass. They are fed commercial grain
without additives and garden vegetables that are over produced. They
are processed in a USDA inspected facility.
Our grass fed beef is raised on pastures rich
in fescue, bluegrass and legumes. In the winter they are fed quality
hay from a local farmer and never receive any grain. They are harvested
when the grass is tender in the late spring and late fall. They are processed
in a USDA inspected facility.
We encourage you to buy your food directly from
a local farmer and invest your food dollar in a family farm rather than
a grocery chain or a meat packing conglomerate. Call or e-mail us to
ask questions or place an order.

Sassafras Valley Farm raises free-range
Embden and Toulouse geese on our farm in Gasconade
County, Missouri.
At Sassafras Valley Farm, we practice Low Impact
Sustainable Agriculture (LISA) to raise geese in a traditional and environmentally
sensitive fashion. We maintain a population density of less than
36 geese per acre to provide them with continuous access to fresh pasture
and water. Our pastures have been carefully planted with a mixture
of grasses and other plants that reflect the traditional diet of domesticated
geese and the requirements of the local microclimate. Our geese
are raised in a chemical free, pesticide free, hormone free environment.
Predator control (typically coyotes, feral dogs,
and hawks) is accomplished through the efforts of several Great Pyrenees
livestock guardian dogs rather than by trapping, poisoning, or shooting.
Holiday goose is a centuries-old tradition in many
cultures. Unfortunately, in the U.S., availability of dressed geese for
holiday meals has become limited due to the relative difficulty of raising
them in high density confinement. Our geese are raised on free-range
and natural pasture in the same traditional way that domesticated geese
have been raised since their original descent from the “Graylag
Goose” (Anser anser) several thousand years BC.
Our geese are humanely processed in a USDA certified
facility and available for purchase and shipment throughout the U.S.
between November and January for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New
Year holidays. Consult our website for availability and shipping options.

SteelMeadow Farm is located between
Ava and Mansfield, about an hour east of Springfield. In
the rolling Ozark hills, we live in a lovely green valley
nestled between clover-rich fields where we raise grass-fed
Irish Dexter beef cattle and Spanish-Kiko meat
goats.
The Irish Dexters are a dual purpose cattle (triple
purpose if you include using them as oxen) and are registered. Dexters
may be purchased as breeding stock or steers-on-the-hoof when available.
Their smaller size makes them the perfect choice for the family freezer,
and their gentle, docile nature makes them wonderful additions to the
farm as well.
Our meat goats are of two Spanish lines with hearty
Kiko influence. The goats grow quickly, are a nice size and thrive by
clearing woods, controlling and removing weeds and generally working
hard on our farm. We will sell some does and bucks for your own breeding
stock, or sell young bucklings-on-the-hoof for delicious cabrito. There
are many local processors available for your convenience.
We do not use routine antibiotics, stimulants or
growth hormones. Our animals are given free-choice organic kelp meal
and salt to round out their pasture/forage-based diet. In the winter
we feed our animals hay cut from our own fields, fertilized only by the
animals themselves. Please see our website or call us for more information.
If you come and visit our farm we will probably send you home
with a dozen eggs from our prolific yard hens!

season grasses. The pastures are managed intensively with the animals
moving to fresh paddocks every 24 to 48 hours to give the forage plants
maximum rest which yield maximum quality on the next grazing period.
Chickens and turkeys are true free-range
in pens that move to fresh pasture every 24 hours yielding a good mix
of grass, legumes, insects, and fishing worms. The pork is humane-certified
by USDA meaning the animals are never confined in cement pens and spend
there life in an outside environment. Rabbits are pen-raised due
to their territorial nature. Their diet is high in flax seed to maximize
omega 3 production. Salmon originate from the Gulf of Alaska on
specific GPS coordinates to maintain heavy metal-free status.
U.S. Wellness Meats has an ala carte menu with over
300 choice cuts from the list of protein choices listed above. Our menu
includes 11 fully cooked selections of beef including nutritious organ
sausages, 3 fully cooked pork items and many hard to find beef and
lamb organs. We specialize in pemmican energy bars using a
Native American Cherokee Indian recipe that contains none of the modern
processed energy bar additives. Please go to our website for the current
inventory available.
All products are shipped overnight to most addresses
