When you purchase locally raised grassfed beef, you are doing more than nourishing your body and the land. Thriving family farms and ranches are the backbone of many rural communities, providing jobs and business opportunities for the whole community.

Below is a graphic of “The Carbon Ranch," designed by our friend and colleague Courtney White at the Quivira Coalition in New Mexico. We think it’s a great, concise illustration of how your dollars flow when you purchase locally grown grassfed beef. Note: If you click on the image, it will enlarge and make it easier to read.

 

"I have been a customer for over four years from the day I tried the ground beef at my friend's house. The meat vacuum sealed in small, easy-to-store portions and lasts for a long time. You can visit the farm and see for yourself what sustainable living means. I wish more places were like that."
