Baldwin Charolais Beef is produced by Baldwin Family Farms, a family-operated farm in the rolling hills of pristine Caswell County, North Carolina.

More than 35 years ago we selected the Charolais breed, which is legendary for efficiently producing high-quality, protein-rich, lean meat by natural grazing. Our Charolais herd thrives on our nutrient rich pastures, enriched by organic compost produced on our farm. No chemical fertilizers or pesticides have been applied to our pastures for more than 20 years.

Baldwin Charolais grass-fed, all-natural beef provides superior taste with significant health benefits. It is naturally lower in fat than most USA-produced beef, and is robust with natural flavor. It is dry-aged and minimally processed to enhance flavor.

Baldwin Charolais beef can be purchased from our farm outlet, our website, or at a farmers' market. We sell direct in pre-packed assorted cuts and quantities. Our "Mini-Sampler,""Maxi-Sampler" and "40-Jumbo Burger" boxes are very popular for smaller families and cook-outs. We also offer Internet Orders for customized boxes; beef quarters and sides are also available. VISA, MasterCard, and checks are accepted. We also ship out of state.

Braeburn Farm is a beef cattle and dressage horse training facility situated on 400 acres of rolling farmland in the Piedmont region of NC. We are midway between the Triad on the west and the Triangle on the east. Beef cattle have been raised here for 30 years with a transition to grass fed beef in 2002. Traditionally, we raised Angus cattle but are moving to New Zealand Red Devon because of 100 years of grass fed genetics and carcass quality.

Animals are ultrasounded at about one year of age to determine if their meat will be tender. Those with a good tenderness score are intensively grazed without grain, antibiotics or growth stimulants.

Finished animals are processed at about 20 months of age, dry aged for 3 weeks, and flash frozen in a USDA inspected facility 15 miles away. Frozen cuts are stored in a NC state inspected facility at the farm. Beef is sold at the farm or shipped in 25, 50, 100-lb units or by the side. Each unit is representative of all cuts in the cow. Orders for a side of beef can be processed to the customer's specifications.

The Sanders Farm is located in the foothills of Clinch Mountain in upper east Tennessee, close to neighboring Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina. We have tended a small beef cow/calf herd at our family farm since 1979. 

We have kept our pasture and hayfields herbicide and pesticide-free for those 30 years. We use no antibiotics, pesticides or growth stimulants of any kind on any animal to be sold on Eatwild. Flies are kept under control with a walk-through fly trap. The calves I am selling eat only our own pasture and hay and mother's milk. They are always free-ranging with their mothers and the rest of the closed herd until the day they are processed.

I prefer to sell my calves whole in the late Spring or Fall. Hanging weight is around 300 pounds and take-home meat averages 200 pounds. I deliver your calf to a local butcher and you pick up your frozen meat there. You decide how long you want your meat aged and how you want it cut and packaged. My price is $2.50 per pound of hanging weight and the butcher charges around $.40 per pound based on hanging weight.

I also at times have milk and grass-finished beef by the package. It is USDA inspected and weighed, vacuum-packed and frozen. I will email you a price list. Pickup for this meat would be in the Rogersville, TN area.

We would rather sell our beef calves to individuals who want untainted beef than into the feedlot industry where they live a little longer but in an unnatural and highly stressful way.

Winn Family Farms: "Sheep + Seed + Sunshine = Grassfed Lamb"

Farming in America since 1626, Winn Family Farms is entering its twelfth generation of operation. Two of our three farms are recognized as Virginia Century Farms. Dedicated grassfarmers, the Winn Family produces a flock of hair sheep solely on pastures and hay produced without pesticides. Our animals receive no antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones, and we do not feed any animal by-products, grain or other supplements, except for a mineral blend specially formulated for sheep.

Lamb from hair sheep, especially when raised totally on a diet of forages, is a mild and tender addition to the family table.

Utilizing USDA-inspected harvest and packaging, and NCDA-licensed refrigerated transport capacity, the Winn Family can bring the safest possible locally-produced lamb directly to you or your neighborhood butcher. Our flock is large enough and has aseasonal breeding capability, so we can meet demand for lamb cuts, whole lamb, and live lambs throughout the entire year.

A reasonably good selection of cuts is kept on-farm for consumers' immediate needs, and live lambs may be bought any day by appointment. We request a ten-day advance order for whole carcass or locker lambs cut to your special order. This allows for the preferred dry-aging, butchering, and freezing in vacuum-sealed packaging. We can accommodate special religious needs at harvest.

We select our Katahdin X Dorper ewes for ability to thrive and produce well-muscled lambs on forages alone. Our Dorper rams throw lambs that supply excellent carcass traits for meat.

All of the animals are fenced out of riparian areas to preserve soil and water quality. They receive free choice mineral and fresh wellwater in unlimited quantity. The flock is protected by perimeter fencing and Maremma livestock guardian dogs.

As we approach the beginning of our fifth century in American agriculture, the Winn Family seeks to bond with consumers who want to know the men and women who grow their food. As with all that we do, we sell our lamb with a full satisfaction guarantee.

When you choose how to spend your food dollars, we hope that you will select Winn Family Farms as one of your favorites.

Yesterways Farm produces pastured chickens, turkeys, pork, and beef. "All our animals are grassfed. Even the pigs run on pasture or woodland." The cows get no grain. Chickens and turkeys get a special feed formulated by the farm that does not contain any meat or bone meal. The broilers and turkeys are moved daily to fresh grass, and the laying hens are moved to fresh grass on a regular basis. The pigs are fed whole grain, "not junk food such as potato chips, cakes or stale bakery goods."

All animals are free of antibiotics, hormones, and other drugs. No chemical fertilizers are used on the land. The products are available at the Yesterways market on the farm. Call for availability and other information.
