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.

Campbell Trinity C Ranch is a family ranch along side the Little Salmon River in New Meadows where we have been producing high-quality grass under the tutelage of our creator for 20 years. The air and water are mountain fresh.

Our cattle are given no added hormones, antibiotics or grain.  They have the added bonus of a low-stress environment created by friendly human interaction. We believe the things that set us apart are; our selection process (animals that have the visual indicators on the outside associated with tender, flavorful beef on the inside), balanced nutrients (In the soil, grass, hay and mineral supplement) and the flavor that comes from high brix grass (a function of the balanced minerals which we analyze regularly with a brixmeter and forage analysis).

We sell split-half, half and whole beef from July 4th to Thanksgiving, and ground beef most of the year. We utilize pasture harvest to minimize stress and dry age for 18 days.

“Grandma Mountains” fresh eggs from free range pastured hens are also available. We feed no Soy to our hens. The raising of our beef and eggs at Trinity C is focused on the superior health benefits to animals and in turn to humans from grass grown on nutrient dense soils. “Promoting healthy soils for healthy animals and healthy people.”

Heritage Farms is located in the beautiful Cocolalla Valley in the Idaho Panhandle. 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. Free-range eggs not only taste better and have darker yolks, but they are certainly high in vitamins and have a superior Omega-3/Omega-6 balance to ordinary eggs.

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.

We offer Free-Range Eggs 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. Call for availability.

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.

To place an order, or for more information, visit our website or contact us at (208) 788-9778.

Rocky A Ranch is nestled under Oxford Peak in Southeast Idaho, about 20 miles west of Preston. 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.

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.

SkyLines Farm is located in remote northern Idaho, about an hour's drive from Moscow. Since 1992 we've been carefully building a flock that now numbers 100+ superbly healthy, vigorous, Romney and Romney-X sheep. The flock produces exquisite handspinning fleeces and delicately-flavored, lean, delicious grassfed lamb.

The SkyLines sheep have always been hand raised, using organic methods that exceed even the USDA's organic standards. Absolutely no antibiotics are used, or growth or fertility hormones, vaccinations, or pesticides like de-lousing agents or chemical wormers. Nature's miracle herb garlic figures heavily in our organic management program (some think this could be one reason our lamb tastes so good!).

SkyLines lambs spend the entire summer alongside their mothers, freely grazing the farm's lush green pastures. Our intensive rotational grazing program ensures that the sheep are always dining on "salad bar fresh" greens, so lambs easily reach market weight on mom's milk and grass alone. They receive no grains or feed supplements.

A team of Great Pyrenees guard dogs patrol the farm 24/7, providing excellent predator-friendly protection for the flock.

Whole or half lamb available September & October, but reserve your lamb early. Free delivery on local orders, out-of-area orders shipped second-day air.

Visit SkyLines' extensive website for much more detail.

Solina Farm sells only Premium, Natural, Grass Fed Beef.

Since 1999, Solina Farm has raised grass fed and finished Scottish Highland heritage and Angus cattle on Boise River bottom pastures. Grass fed Highland beef has tested lower in cholesterol than buffalo. Naturally foraged Highland beef has a deep, red color and a rich, complex flavor. Our grass-fed Highland beef is heart-healthy and delicious.

We’ve seen—and eaten—the results of the spread of feedlots and the use of chemicals, low quality cheap feeds and heavy grain feeding. Our wish is to ensure that our children are eating healthy meat products. We use no pesticides or chemicals of any kind. We feed only unsprayed alfalfa and grass hays from local farmers and ranchers who are also committed to all-natural values. We use cross-fencing and rotational paddock grazing to increase river bottom grass vigor. We control animal health problems with natural methods, and weeds without herbicides.

Solina Farm is a member of AHCA (American Highland Cattle Association) and the AHCA Quality Beef Program. We are committed to the same natural, sustainable practices still used by Highland cattle farmers in Scotland today. We comply with the AHCA Quality Beef Program contract and our own ethics which require humane handling, no usage of antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or non-vegetarian feeds, slaughter before 36 months of age, and a minimum of 14 days hanging time to ensure consistent high quality, tender, delicious beef.

Order & Shipping Information. Solina Farm's natural, grass fed Highland beef is available no less than four times per year. Quantities are limited due to limited availability of grass pasture in the expanding Boise River Valley. We will deliver in the Boise area, or make special arrangements for shipment or delivery outside of this area. Please call or e-mail so we can understand your values and work out the details of your needs.
