We offer reasonably priced beef by the pound, package weight (not hanging carcass weight with its 25% waste) in whole, halves, quarters, mixed quarters and mixed 50 and 25 Lb. Packs. 50 Lb Pack@ $4.50/lb (Fall 2007) fits in large cooler:
Meat is butchered locally, dry aged, cut to standard or your specifications, double wrapped and flash frozen by a state inspected butcher. Pick up is at his shop in North Freedom (8 miles west of Baraboo). Our beautiful Red Angus cattle are born here in the fall, nurse on their mommas thru the winter as moms are fed our own stored mixed grass/legume hay. We use fence line weaning at six months of age so they can still see and nose touch mom. They are on smaller pastures for winter feeding then turned out to green pastures by April and rotationally grazed on 11–18 lush green pastures thru October. Free choice kelp (mineral) and salt. Each pasture has fresh water (they're not allowed in the creek). Grassfed beef take longer to 'finish' than corn-fed feedlot beef and are usually ready by the end of their second season on pasture. They are definitely worth the wait as their meat is higher in Omega 3's, Vitamins A, D, E, B-12, folate and carotene and there is no risk of Mad Cow Disease because they are fed no animal by-products. Grassfed beef also have about 300 times less E. coli bacteria, and because it is not acid resistant due to corn feeding, it is destroyed more readily in our stomachs. We use no pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones or vaccines. Babb Creek Grassfed Red Angus, Marilyn Hoffman,

County Road U, Blackberry Ridge, LLC Eco-Farm & Ranch is owned and operated by one small family. We started five years ago to create a Bio-diverse, Biodynamic, Organic, Sustainable, and Permiculture Eco-system—a self-contained farm where the animals fertilize the land and the resulting living soil and grasslands feed the animals. We have introduced eight different animal species to roam our land. Many are Heritage or endangered breeds. These include: 100% GrassFed Galloway Cattle and Sheep (fiber, meat, and milk); Free-Range, Pastured Hogs, Chickens, and Turkeys; Horses; and Great Pyrenees guard Dogs. As members of the Cherokee Tribe, we work in Harmony with the wildlife in our woods to increase wild habitat and bio-diversity. We have encouraged the re-growth of native vegetation, and will add more diverse plants each year, creating a permiculture. The animals have opportunity to eat the foods they would eat in the wild, while finding the most pure, Certified Organic sources for any feed we must give. We feed NO Grain to our Beef and Lamb! NO ANTIBIOTICS, ANTIPARISITES, ADDED HORMONES, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, or ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS Optimum health is achieved by humane treatment (we don’t ‘cut’ our animals), fresh grass, herbs, sunshine and air, and a reliance on nature before we intervene. We believe this creates optimum nourishment in the foods that we nourish ourselves with and optimum life in the environment we live in. Galloway beef rated #1 in taste and #2 in tenderness by UW tests. It is USDA processed and dry aged for 18 days by a small family butcher, then cut and froze individually. Purchase our meats at our farm, at Natural Food Stores in LaCrosse, WI and in the Minneapolis area. Shipping is available. Blackberry Ridge, LLC Eco-Farm & Ranch,

In addition to the dairy, we direct market chicken, turkey, brown eggs, beef and pork. We also sell raw milk via farm shares. We are now a Certified Organic dairy (as of 2004) and feed all animals (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) certified organic feed. We have added turkey to our product mix. The Northern Meadows Cheese is no longer available. The farm consists of over 200 acres of fresh green growing meadow grasses. After each milking our herd of jerseys and Holstein cows takes a leisurely stroll to a new paddock of fresh grass and spends the day grazing, ruminating and resting. The cows receive 10–12 pounds of grain and mineral per day to help them maintain body condition. On our farm, everyone grazes, so the egg-laying free-range chickens are allowed to dine on juicy bugs, tender grasses and a small amount of grain. Our pastured meat birds live in moveable, open bottom pens out on the same pasture. They are protected from predators, but can still enjoy the sunshine, bugs and grass. The Jersey steers graze with the dairy cows to get the very best pasture plus a small amount of grain. Finally, our "pigerator" pork comes from pigs that are allowed to do what they truly love to do: root through and compost the winter bedded pack from the cows. Our farm store opened in April 2005. It is open Monday–Saturday from 9 to 5:00. We would love to hear from you. May you be able to live close to the land. The Grassway Farm, Wayne and Kay Craig, N600

We have been MOSA certified organic since 1999 for dairy, we started the beef soon after. We also have brown eggs, and broilers. We like to hatch our own chicks for our laying chickens so there are occasionally some very tasty five month old roosters to cull. Our beef is USDA inspected The closest butcher is an hour and half drive, Lederburs in Winona, MN. the beef is cryovac packaged. The organic pasture raised broilers are also USDA inspected and cryovac packaged at Decorah, Iowa. We practice rotational grazing, though not intensive. We don't have to chase our animals—for the most part they follow us everywhere they want us to put them. The animals are beautiful to watch and it's so relaxing to take a walk around the pastures to enjoy them. Even though initially they come running and set up such a chorus of bawling that you can't hear, they calm down to eating soon. We also have seasonally asparagus, rhubarb, ramps (wild leeks), and watercress lot'sa springs. Come for a visit, bring your tents, etc. and camp in our woods. Several weekends are open.

All of our grassfed beef have been born and raised on this farm. Grassfed beef is available for reservation anytime throughout the year; however, we limit processing to October/November, after the animal has had the entire "green season" to maximize its levels of omega 3s, conjugated linoleic acid, vitamin A and E, and beta carotene. Grassfed beef quantities may be ordered in quarter-size (90–125 pounds) and larger. It is cut and packaged according to customer satisfaction and frozen and labeled for convenience.

The Homestead (a 125-year family farm) is in the rolling hills of Grant County, Wisconsin. We converted this dairy farm into a ranch to raise grass-fed beef. Our cattle are born in late spring on the open range, raised by the mother cow on chemical-free milk and grass and watered at a spring-fed stream. Grass-fed beef is often called "beyond organic." The average serving of beef has lived on four farms, traveled through five states, and spent months confined in feed lots eating things cows were not meant to eat. Our cattle spend their entire lives on the range, eat lots of grass, have a cool drink and lay in the shade to think about things. The result is lean, clean, tender and reasonably priced meat. Processed in the fall, seven miles from the pasture at a state-inspected facility. Order a few packages of selected cuts or quarters, halves or whole animals cut to order. Farm pick-up preferred, but we'll deliver within reason. No need to pay Farmers' Market premiums for healthy food. Give us a call. We'd love to meet you and be your farmers.

JRS Country Acres is a small family owned operation dedicated to protecting the planet with sound, sustainable agricultural practices. Our farm philosophy is based on the old time principals: fresh air, sunshine, pasture and love. Everything we produce is raised organically without the aid of genetically altered seed, synthetic chemicals or antibiotics. As a result, our products are healthy lean and just plain taste better. All our poultry (laying hens, fryers/broilers, and heritage turkeys) are pastured raised supplemented with a minimum amount of organic grains. They are naturally lean yet tender and tasty. Our eggs have a brilliant orangish-yellow yolk that looks like sunshine. Freed from antibiotics and close living conditions, our pastured raised pigs thrive on fresh air, sunshine, vegetation and whatever else pigs manage to root up. We also raise produce, anything from apples to zucchini. Composted manure and old fashioned hand weeding make the best tasting produce. If you are interested in more information about JRS Country Acres, please call or email us for a brochure, price list, and availability of our products. You can also find our products at the Lake Mills Farmers Market, downtown Lake Mills, Wednesdays from 4 to 8 pm, May thru September, and at the restaurant at the Oconomowoc Lake Country Club.

Mountain Lane Farms, Wauzeka, WI, is nestled in the hills of Crawford County. It is a place where time stands eternal. Our Angus cattle graze 80 acres of rolling pasture in the same way they did when my father purchased the farm back in 1964. This provides our cattle with a simple diet of sunshine, legumes, grasses and water. While a simple approach, we believe this is best for the animal and ultimately in producing the best beef. As we are a minute operation, we currently do not possess the means of rendering our product on site and shipping it direct. Our philosophy is that when you buy from Mountain Lane Farms, you choose the animal and witness firsthand where it was raised. You have an opportunity to voice how you would like the beef prepared, etc. If you wish, we can ship the animal to you. We have tremendous rendering professionals who can customize your order. If you wish we can even bring your order right to your door. We value you not only as a customer, but a new friend before, during and after the sale. As a small operation, we don't have all the amenities of other operations. What we have is a food source that has been raised naturally by good folks who are concerned more about you than your sale. Give us a call, get directions and come see Mountain Lane Farms. The cattle will continue to graze, but friendships are precious. Make friends at Mountain Lane Farms.
