The following farms and ranches have certified that they meet Eatwild's criteria for producing grassfed meat, eggs and dairy products. Contact them directly for additional information or to buy their products: Ararat Farm is a family farm located in the mountains of Lee County, Virginia and dedicated to raising the healthiest, best-tasting grass-fed beef, woodland pastured pork, grass-finished bison, GMO- and soy-free chicken you can find! We practice holistic management so we can better steward all life on our farm, from the microbes under the soil to the animals eating the grass. Our cattle and bison are intensively rotated through the pastures to ensure they always have access to premium grass and forbs and to allow plenty of regrowth time for the grass. Our pigs are rotated through a combination of pasture and woods to allow them to forage to the fullness of the ability that God created them with. Our broiler chickens are rotated daily through our fields to provide them with a fresh salad bar; they are supplemented with a GMO- and soy-free feed. We have been proudly providing hormone- and antibiotic-free meats to customers for 10 years now. We sell the beef in bulk (quarter, halves, and whole) two times a year (spring and fall). We sell the pork by halves and whole in the summer (to take advantage of the grasses) and the winter (to take advantage of the fall acorn crop). We offer select cuts of beef, bison and whole chickens directly off our website. We use a local processor to butcher the meat, so it is frozen hard, labeled, and vacuum-packed when you get it. We welcome our customers to come visit the farm and see how their food is raised. Please contact us to get more information about ordering or about our farm.

At Ashbourne Farms, our mission is to promote sustainable agricultural practices and intentional wildlife stewardship to maintain an optimal balance in the farm ecosystem. We strive not only to work as an operating farm, but also to manage our land and soils to the utmost standards to promote minimal erosion and optimal organic build-up. We believe that careful land management for farming and wildlife is the only way to assure a thriving, productive environment for generations to come. We offer Grassfed Beef and Pastured Pork products to the consumer without the use of any antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. Our unique mix of Shorthorn and Black Angus cattle are rotationally grazed across our ample pastures of rolling hills and mixed hardwood stands. Our pastured pork products come from heritage breed hogs, raised by a local farmer who adheres to the same sustainable farming practices as we do. We are proud members of the American Grassfed Association and are also Animal Welfare Approved. Our ever-expanding gardens supply not only our farmer's markets, but also our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. We provide our customers with fresh produce on a weekly basis, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our farmer's markets and CSA distributions are open weekly from mid-May through mid-October. Registration for our CSA typically begins January 1st and closes when all shares have been sold. We offer whole, half, quarter, or eighth cows as well as several custom packages and cuts of beef and pork, in addition to Stella’s Lucky Eggs. With easy online ordering and helpful customer service, we make it easy to "Satisfy your appetite for things that matter." Please contact us or visit our website for more information. Ashbourne Farms, Cathy Shepherd, 3800 Old Westport Road, La Grange KY 40031. (502) 222-0602 Bluegrass Bounty Farm is a small family farm in the bluegrass region of Kentucky, near the capital city of Frankfort. We are producing grass-fed/finished beef, a limited amount of woodland/pasture pork, and pasture-raised chicken and eggs. We use regenerative farming practices, including rotational grazing, to produce delicious and nutritious food while also improving the soil and increasing its ability to hold water and carbon. We use non-GMO feed and do not spray anything or use any antibiotics, steroids, or hormones. We started out just wanting to grow our own healthy food for our family, with animals that are treated respectfully. Soon we realized there are many other people who want the same good food but do not have the ability to work a farm, so we decided to scale up a bit to produce enough to share. We have also been learning more and more about how sustainable farming may just be the answer to many of our planet’s problems. What started out as a personal hobby has turned into a passion to do our part. For more information about the care and feeding of our animals and details about available products, please visit our website or contact us by email or phone. Thank you for your interest in our farm and products. We work hard at farming, so you don’t have to! Bluegrass Bounty Farm, Rick or Andrea Mehaffy, 875 S. Benson Road, Frankfort, KY 40601.
502-682-6408 (Rick) or 502-682-6406 (Andrea). Dogwood Farm raises all beef calves from birth. In 1964, when the herd began as a 4-H project, the primary enterprise was the production of registered Polled Hereford breeding cattle on grass. Currently producing up to 85 calves annually, the closed herd is forage-oriented, selected for ability to thrive on pasture. Dogwood Farm Herefords are docile, gentle-tempered cattle. Their relaxed natures and low-stress lives contribute to tenderness in the finished beef. DWF Hereford beef is naturally great-tasting, consistently flavorful meat. In fact, DWF ribeyes won Reserve Grand-Champion at the 2017 American Royal grassfed steak competition. With healthful high-quality beef in mind, continuous natural soil improvement is high priority. All good health begins with healthy, regenerative soil, a wealth of organic matter from natural fertilization, and living microbial populations beneath the grass-covered surface. Consequently, we use no chemical pesticides or herbicides on our pastures, nor cattle growth hormones—ever—nor antibiotics except for exceedingly rare emergency treatment. Instead, moving cattle daily to fresh pasture and natural aids like mob-grazing and predator wasps help suppress fly populations, improve pastures and allow forages and soils to rest, recover and regenerate. Our cattle help discourage weeds by grazing and trampling immature plants, as does re-seeding with improved pasture species to help smother undesirable species. DWF cattle graze a wide variety of warm-season and cool-season pasture grasses, clovers, and other legumes during the entire year through rotational management-intensive grazing. During winter months, beef steers and weaned calves graze stockpiled fescue, ryegrass, green wheat and sometimes rye, with good hay as supplement. Cows and nursing calves also remain on stockpiled pasture grasses with limited hay until spring green-up. Cattle are what they eat, and so are we, as their human caretakers and consumers. Human health and soil health are their reasons for being—and ours. Dogwood Farm Natural Beef, Toby and Debby Dulworth, 2492 S. Kirkman Road, LaCenter, KY 42056. (270) 224-2993. Dutch Creek Farm, located in Pleasureville, Kentucky, is an environmentally-conscientious, diversified-livestock farm producing grass-fed beef, pastured poultry and eggs since 1983.

Jared's Beef is Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World, and Certified Grass-Fed by the American Grass-Fed Association.
We believe strongly in the nutritional benefit and vitality that the forages bring to us and our livestock. Through proper pasture management, we believe the grasses and greens create a healthier food item for your enjoyment and well being. Dutch Creek Farm's pasture-raised eggs—"Chelsey's Eggs"—can be found at Whole Foods Markets in Louisville and Lexington.

Gilland’s Green Valley Pastures – American Wagyu Beef is a family-run cow/calf organic farm producing American Wagyu beef on 70 acres of high nutrient-dense soil in the heart of Southeastern Indiana, near the Ohio and Kentucky borders. Why high nutrient-dense soil? It’s because of the way we graze our herd. We use our cows to feed the soil microbes and the microbes feed our pastures. We don’t overgraze. We move our cows to a new strip of pasture every day in the spring, summer, and fall, and roll out high quality mixed hay in the winter. Our farm is rolling hills with a fresh water, plenty of shade and good wind breaks. We work hard to make sure our cows get all the fresh feed and water they want to eat and drink every day of the year. We offer free choice Kelp and Redmond salt/mineral at all times. Our cows really do get fat on grass and legumes with no grain when the pastures are managed correctly. I grew up on a conventional dairy farm thinking cows needed grain, but now I know if your soils are correct cows are happier and healthier and really thrive on pasture. Take time to read up on all the heart-healthy benefits of eating 100% grass fed and grass finish beef. Our steaks are nutrient dense and delicious! American Wagyu. Our Wagyu beef is 50% Wagyu or more, most are 75 to 93%. We have a few Angus that we offer for $3.50/pound hanging weight; our higher marbled Wagyu is $4 to $5/pound hanging weight. We have dates available soon at some local processing plants for quarter, half, and full beefs. To learn more or to order, visit our website and/or email or call me or my son Grant.

Orders are taken any time, but the grass finished beef and milk-fed pork are only processed in late fall. Our pasture-raised broiler roasting chickens are available at the farm store. Our farm is horse-powered and managed in a sustainable fashion. Draft work horses instead of heavy machinery, and a solar-powered livestock watering system make environmental sense and match the scale of the farming operation.

Everything grown on the Jerrys Farm will be safe and healthy from people you know. We have opted out of factory farming, now you can opt out of factory food.

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 over 40 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 and dustings of diatomaceous earth. The calves I am selling eat only our own pasture and hay and their mother's milk. They free-range with their mothers and the rest of my closed herd until the day they are processed. I prefer to sell my calves whole or by the half in the late Spring or in the Fall. Hanging weight for a whole beef is around 300 pounds (give or take 50 pounds) and take-home meat averages 200 pounds. I deliver your calf to a state-inspected butcher near Rogersville, TN and you pick up your frozen (vacuum-packed in plastic) meat there. You decide which cuts you want using a cut-list I will mail you. All the soup/stock bones and organs from your beef are also available to you. 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.
