OUR BEEF

Our beef is grass-fed and grass-finished in the pasture. In the winter months, the animals eat hay, grass silage, and as a treat, organic carrots. Grass-fed animals take longer to raise than animals on a corn fed diet. Grass-fed beef is naturally leaner than grain fed. Omega 3’s in beef that is fed grass is 7% of the total fat content compared to 1% in grain only fed beef. Our animals are not given any hormones or vaccines so you can rest assured that you are receiving quality meat. The main breed of our animals is a mix of Angus and Limousin. Taste the superior quality and flavour that our grass-fed beef provides!

All our beef is hung for 2 weeks before the butcher begins to cut it. After cutting and packaging, it is flash frozen to maintain maximum freshness. Orders are charged the hanging weight (as in common practice in Ontario). The take home weight is about 20-25% less due to dry aging/shrinking and trimming during the butchering process. The final price includes transport, cutting, wrapping, and freezing. All weights and prices listed below are approximate.

PAYMENT

A deposit is required on all custom beef orders after the order is confirmed with us to reserve your beef. The full payment is due at the time of pick up. We accept cash, cheque, or e-transfer.

Once the order is confirmed and the deposit is received, we will send you a cutting instructions sheet to fill out that we will be sending to the butcher. Please note that a deposit is considered a commitment to purchase and is non-refundable.
