There exists this trope that organic, grass-fed, grass-finished beef can be leaner, drier, and more difficult to prepare. But that depends entirely on how the cattle are raised and grazed. The main difference between Elmwood Stock Farm grass-fed, grass-finished beef and others is in the USDA grade. On the five-level USDA grading scale, three grades are […]
Pictured: A meal cooked on-farm for our team, using Elmwood products. It’s often said that grass-fed, pasture-raised animal products are more nutritious and better for your health.
