If you cook a local grass fed beef the exact same way as grain fed supermarket beef, it’s easy to end up with something tough and dry. But with a few simple adjustments, it’s incredibly juicy and flavorful, and in our bias opinion, way better. Quality It matters where you get your beef from. Not only does it make a difference in flavor, nutrition, and the ecology, but in the quality of your final beef you put on the plate. We take great care in raising the animals so they are

For a long time, we raised cattle that ended up in the Whole Foods supply chain. Those animals met every standard you’d expect: they were organic and animal-welfare certified. But in that world, the actual "finish" of the animal–the eating quality and intramuscular marbling–wasn't the priority, and the reasons were structural. The goal was to hit a minimu

Reporting from the pastures here. Proud to announce we are 90% sold out of our grassfed beef shares. There are just a few shares left. So. If you haven’t yet grabbed your grass fed beef share and you were hoping to get some beef this year - head to the website and place your deposit now to reserve 2026 beef.

The sky was a particular bright blue, the birds and butterflies busy with work as we made our way up the road to our first stop at the old bay tree on Sonoma Mountain Institute. This bay tree is over 100 years old. Sharing the land with the

The Quick Answer: An 1/8 Share from Grounded Grassfed typically provides 60–80 pounds of 100% grass-fed and finished beef.

It is the perfect amount for a household of 1–2 people to enjoy premium beef for months. What is a cow share? Buying a "share" means you are purchasing a portion of a single animal that is harvested locally and processed for

If you’re new here, welcome! We wanted to introduce ourselves and what drives us. We are a family run business and wholly committed to regenerating ecology and producing healthy, tasty beef. We came to this work because we love the natural world and we believe that properly managed herbivores are one of the best tools for healing the land. We began our careers in gardening and permaculture, but found a strong pull to garden on a larger scale than backyards. How do we tend th

Thank you for a fabulous beef pick up day this year! Thank you for making this year’s pick up day a hit. It brings us great joy to share what we do with our community, and look everyone in the eye and say thank you. We appreciate the questions you brought and your dedication to good, local food. The day began with welcomed overcast skies as we gathered for the tour. After walking on the ranch and in the fields, we returned to the barn, grabbed blankets and chairs and headed u
