Grass-Fed Ground Beef, Patties & Primal Blend
Grass-fed ground beef is the cut most families actually live on — the tacos, the spaghetti, the Tuesday burgers — which makes it the single most important place to know your source. Ours is ground from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef, dry-aged first like everything we cut, with no antibiotics and no added hormones anywhere in the animal’s life. Buy it by the pack, pre-formed as hamburger patties, or as our Primal Blend with organ meats ground right in.
Three Ways to Buy It
- Ground Beef — the workhorse. Because the whole animal is grass-finished and dry-aged, the grind carries real beef flavor instead of relying on fat alone. Available by the pack, and by the quarter-cow’s-worth through our bulk ground beef when you’re stocking deep.
- Hamburger Patties — the same grind, pre-formed and ready for the grill. Burger night without the sticky hands.
- Ground Beef Primal Blend with Organs — ground beef with liver and organ meats blended in at the butcher, in a ratio that disappears into chili, tacos, meatballs, and burgers. It’s the easiest possible on-ramp to organ-meat nutrition: cook it exactly like regular ground beef, because it behaves exactly like regular ground beef. If you’ve wanted the benefits of liver without tasting liver, this is the product.
Why the Grind Is Where Sourcing Matters Most
A steak is one muscle from one animal. Commodity ground beef can be trim from many animals across many sources — which is why it’s the cut where traceability earns its keep. Ours grinds from the same grass-finished animals as our steaks and roasts, raised mostly by our named Pennsylvania partner farms to our standard, processed at USDA-inspected facilities, and vacuum-sealed by the pound. One animal standard, one named source, every pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the lean-to-fat ratio of your ground beef?
Grass-finished beef grinds naturally leaner than grain-fed — the current specifics are on the product page for each pack.
What is the Primal Blend?
Ground beef with liver and organ meats blended in at grind time. It cooks and tastes like ground beef while adding the nutrient density organs are known for — the stealth route for families with liver skeptics.
Does grass-fed ground beef cook differently?
Slightly — it’s leaner, so it browns faster and appreciates a little fat in the pan and a lighter hand on cook time. Burgers land best pulled at medium-rare to medium.
Can I buy ground beef in bulk?
Yes — our Bulk Ground Beef listing sells it by the quarter-beef’s worth at a lower per-pound price, and every quarter, half, and whole cow share includes roughly 50% ground in the standard cut sheet.
Where does your ground beef come from?
The same 100% grass-fed, grass-finished animals as everything else we sell — mostly raised by named Pennsylvania partner farms to our standard, with the source farm listed on the product page.
