The farm is located on the South Dakota/Minnesota border. There is native prairie on the west end of the farm, and the crop land that used to grow corn and soybean, has been planted to high quality grasses and forages. The planted forages are mostly a high protein, high energy, grass alfalfa mix. The scale of the operation is small enough to allow for the attention to detail required to produce quality healthy organic beef, but large enough to keep prices affordable.
As a country the cost of beef in the grocery stores is highly subsidized due to the farm bills commodity grain subsidies. The industrial aspect of factory style food production makes it hard to beat the price, but my cutting out the middleman, and grocer gives you the best of both worlds. Do you really want to have your food produced in the same way as your mass produced calculator? Its one thing to buy a cheap calculator from a factory half way around the globe, don’t take the same approach to what you put in your body.
