A & B Homecoming Beef LLC is located one-and-a-half miles south of Leeton, MO. The Varner Family has been raising cattle for over 20 years. Our cattle are raised on our 80-acre farm from our rotationally grazed pastures on grass only—with no grain ever. We stockpile 40 acres of grass to feed in the winter and also feed some hay and alfalfa which we purchase from a neighbor. We use a North Devon bull bought from Gerald Fry at Rosebud, Arkansas. Our cows are 1/2 Angus and 1/2 Gelbvich. Our herd is 100% home raised, bred and born. Our cattle are 1 1/2 to 2 years old when processed at Hetherington Meats, LLC and are dry-aged approximately two weeks. They have had no growth hormones, antibiotics or pesticides used on them. Glenn is retiring in April 2012 and starting in May we will be selling frozen beef in the KC area, Brookside Market on Saturday and The City Market on Sunday.

MO 64761. (660) 221-1918. Alger Family Farm wants to provide people with healthy food as affordably as we can. Currently, we offer free-range eggs, pastured chickens and turkeys, and grass finished beef and lamb. Our free-range laying hens sleep in a moveable hoophouse and are protected on 1/2 an acre by an electric woven fence which we move periodically as needed. We feed them a 100% certified organic feed ration. They are allowed out during the day so they can eat all the bugs and plant material that they desire. Our meat chickens and turkeys start out right on pasture in a floorless pen. We have a hover with a heat lamp in the pen with them so that they can run under to get warm and they also run around pecking the ground for bugs and vegetation from their very first day of life. At this stage we move them as needed. At two to three weeks, they no longer need the heat lamp and they then begin to get moved through our pasture daily. In addition to the bugs and vegetation, we feed them a 100% certified organic feed ration. Our moveable pens keep them safe from possums, raccoons, hawks and other predators while still allowing them fresh air, sunshine and access to the bugs and vegetation they need. When they are around seven weeks old, they are ready to butcher. Our lamb and beef is 100% pasture finished and the animals only eat grass, other plants, salt and a high quality kelp & mineral supplement. We never give them hormones, antibiotics or chemical wormers. We spray no chemicals on our pastures. Alger Family Farm, Tammy or Steve Alger, 10304 Lawrence 2030, Miller MO 65707 (417) 452-2049. American Grass Fed Beef specializes in grass-fed beef. Our beef is raised in southern Missouri on Rain Crow Ranch by Mark and Dr. Patricia Whisnant along with their six children. We supply all cuts, from superior quality steaks, roasts, ground beef and burgers to beef jerky and summer sausage. Our beef is dry aged for added tenderness and taste, and vacuum-packaged for our customers' convenience.
Our family does all that we can to ensure the highest quality possible; one of the best ways we have found is through achieving strict certification. We are Certified 100% GrassFed by the American Grassfed Association, Certified for high animal welfare by Animal Welfare Approved, and USDA Certified Organic Pastures by One Cert. Our cattle are raised using intensive rotational grazing techniques—free of pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, and antibiotics. We have long been advocates of this management protocol due to its benefits to the animal, the environment, and to us as consumers of a healthier product. We market via our internet site where we ship via both Fed Ex and UPS. You can also find our meat in Whole Foods, select Schnucks Markets and through Fair Shares. We welcome customers to pick up their beef at our grass farm in Doniphan, MO, or our processing plant located in Jackson, MO—just tell us when you are coming.

This gentle Scottish breed is handled in the most humane manner, grazing the paddocks among the hills and oaks of middle Missouri. During weaning, while we walk among the calves, they are tamed and become familiar with our voices and the barnyard atmosphere. Every effort is made to keep them healthy, preventing the need for the use of medications. No hormones are implanted. After 20-26 months of grazing (slow food indeed) the steers are processed. Inspected, frozen beef is marketed at near-by cities through farmer’s markets, individuals, and at small grocers and select restaurants. Shipping is possible.

They are available in spring and fall, please call for pricing and availability. Cedar Cove Farm is also a Fertrell dealer and we believe in returning to the ground what we take out of it. This is accomplished through Fertrell's natural and organic certifiable soil enhancing products and fertilizers, but mostly our continued education in the area of pasture management.

For now, totally grass-finished beef and natural veal can be ordered ahead for a completely custom-done whole-animal order, or can be bought by the half or sample package by contacting GF with your order. The meat is USDA-inspected, dry-aged, packaged and frozen. Pick up is done by arranging to meet at the locker plant.

We wanted to know how our food is raised, what it was fed, where did their water come from, and what medicine, drugs or hormones did it consume during its life? Not only did we want to know everything about our food, but we wanted to control the whole process, so we bought a ranch in the heart of the Missouri Ozark—clean air, fresh water and lush pastures! We started Grand View Pastures for ourselves and now have extra grass fed, young (10–14 month old) Angus beef cattle we can sell to you. All the cattle are raised using a rotational grazing method, NO HORMONES, no cramped feed lots, no antibiotics, no stress, no GMO feeds! We are not in the meat business! The Johnson Family wants to sell you a live animal (1/2 and 1/4 ownerships are also available.) We will give you a list of USDA certified butchers in our area where you can make your own arrangements for dry aging, butchering and shipping, no matter where you live. I will send you a beef chart and help you to study up on your cuts. We have 25 young beef cattle that we will sell this year and suggest that they be butchered anytime after August 2009 at about 600 to 700 pounds. Call us and let us help you stock your freezer with grass fed young beef. Grand View Pastures in located in Eunice, Missouri close to Houston, Rolla, Cabool and West Plains.

Owners Kerry and Barb Buchmayer say that a few customers have wondered if their skim and 2% milk is mislabeled because it tastes so creamy.

The milk is hormone and pesticide free. Green Hills Harvest milk products will soon be available in select stores in the Kansas City area.

Cattle are moved to new paddocks daily except for short periods in the winter when grass is scarce. During this time our production method varies from the Eatwild standards in that we confine them in paddocks and supplement their winter diet with small amounts of soy hull pellets.

In 1996 our family began growing wholesome range-raised poultry. We are still a small family farm committed to providing high-quality, healthy meat in a manner that respects God's creation. Our chickens are treated carefully and naturally from day one. The ration we feed them is one we mix from whole grains, vitamins and minerals, and does NOT contain Genetically Modified ingredients or any medications. The pasture they are raised on is pesticide-free/herbicide-free and is managed holistically with rotationally grazed cattle, although it is not certified organic. The chickens range freely from the hoop house shelters that we pasture them from. These shelters are moved to fresh grass daily to insure healthy birds and pastures. At processing time we continue our practice of careful handling to provide high-quality fresh chicken. The end result is a truly tasty bird; "Like chicken used to taste," as many of our customers say. The chicken is sold either whole, split (in half), cut-up, or in packages of individual parts. In November we sell turkeys that are raised the same way the chickens are. We have heard many reports from satisfied customers who don't want anything but field-grazed turkeys now that they have tried one. The flavor difference is clear. Fresh turkeys are available on the farm and at delivery locations before Thanksgiving. We sell our poultry from our farm and also in Springfield, Missouri and Rolla, Missouri; as well as several other areas in southeast Missouri. Our grass-finished beef is grown in the same manner as our other meat, carefully and conscientiously. At this time we are offering half or whole beeves, not individual cuts.

Pure Pasture Beef is processed locally in a USDA Missouri certified organic facility, going from farm to table. Practicing a sustainable approach to cattle management and land use here in the heart of Ozark Mountain foothills country, we rotate our cattle from one pasture to the next on a regular basis so they're grazing on clean, fresh grass (along with roaming bands of white-tailed deer and wild turkey). We cut and bale our own red clover, alfalfa, orchard grass and brome that we feed as hay in the winter; we feed the salt and minerals; we monitor all animal health; we check the water; we wean the babies. We do it all ourselves. Nothing gets between us and our cattle. A farmer his whole life, Jim practiced law for thirty years to help support the cattle habit he's had since being born into a dairy family over fifty years ago.

Sassafras Valley Farm raises free-range Embden geese and Rouen ducks on our family farm in Gasconade County, Missouri. We practice Low Impact Sustainable Agriculture (LISA) to raise geese and ducks in a traditional and environmentally sensitive fashion. We maintain a population density of less than 36 birds per acre to provide them with continuous access to fresh pasture and water. Our pastures have been carefully planted with a mixture of grasses and other plants that reflect the traditional diet of domesticated geese and ducks in harmony with the requirements of the local microclimate. Our birds are raised in a chemical free, pesticide free, hormone free environment. Unfortunately, in the U.S., availability of dressed geese and ducks is limited due to the relative difficulty of raising them in high density confinement. Our geese and ducks are raised on free-range and natural pasture in the same traditional way that domesticated waterfowl have been raised since their original descent from their wild forbears. Predator control (typically coyotes, feral dogs, and hawks) is accomplished through the efforts of several Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs rather than by trapping, poisoning, or shooting. Rouen ducks are a slower maturing heritage breed with plumage similar to Mallards. They are considerably smaller than the more common Pekin ducks sold through most market outlets, and are less greasy as well as superior in flavor. Embden geese are the traditional, large white geese familiar from pictures and folklore. Our Embdens are very low in fat due to their natural diet and healthy, outdoor living conditions. Our geese and ducks are humanely processed in a USDA certified facility and available for purchase and shipment frozen via UPS 2nd Day Air throughout the U.S. Sassafras Valley Farm geese and ducks are also available through several local outlets in the Hermann and Saint Louis Missouri area. Consult our website for details. Sassafras Valley Farm is proud to be certified by the prestigious Animal Welfare Approved organization. Sassafras Valley Farm, Robert and Connie Cunningham,

MO 65265. (573) 581-0216. SteelMeadow Farm is located between Ava and Mansfield, about an hour east of Springfield. In the rolling Ozark hills, we live in a lovely green valley nestled between clover-rich fields where we raise grass-fed Irish Dexter beef cattle and Spanish-Kiko meat goats. The Irish Dexters are a dual purpose cattle (triple purpose if you include using them as oxen) and are registered. Dexters may be purchased as breeding stock or steers-on-the-hoof when available. Their smaller size makes them the perfect choice for the family freezer, and their gentle, docile nature makes them wonderful additions to the farm as well. Our meat goats are of two Spanish lines with hearty Kiko influence. The goats grow quickly, are a nice size and thrive by clearing woods, controlling and removing weeds and generally working hard on our farm. We will sell some does and bucks for your own breeding stock, or sell young bucklings-on-the-hoof for delicious cabrito. There are many local processors available for your convenience. We do not use routine antibiotics, stimulants or growth hormones. Our animals are given free-choice organic kelp meal and salt to round out their pasture/forage-based diet. In the winter we feed our animals hay cut from our own fields, fertilized only by the animals themselves. Please see our website or call us for more information. If you come and visit our farm we will probably send you home with a dozen eggs from our prolific yard hens! SteelMeadow Farm, Mary Jane Phifer, RR 2 Box 38 Prairie
Hollow Road, Mansfield MO 65704. (417) 924-2284. The Price Family Farm is a small, sustainable farm located in southwestern Lincoln County, Missouri. We produce beef in a humane, non-industrial, and environmentally friendly way. Our beef cattle spend their entire lives free-ranging on chemical-free pastureland. The animals are not implanted with hormones, nor are they fed any steroids or antibiotics. Our farming practices have been recognized and endorsed by the Animal Welfare Institute. Bulk freezer beef sections are harvested 3 times a year - once in March, again in July, and a final time in October. Reservations for a 1/4, 1/2, or whole section of beef can be placed by contacting us via telephone or by filling out our online order form. Beef sections are custom cut according to customer specifications and, after dry-aging and processing, can be picked up at Josephville Meat Processing in Wentzville, Mo.

Strack Farm Lane, Troy MO 63379. (636) 338-1418. Three Spring Farms is a new venture in 2011 by Andrew Bachmann, Jacob Bachmann and Bryan Meyers. The Bachmann brothers have loads of knowledge and experience: they are 4th generation farmers in the neighborhood with recent degrees in Agriculture from Missou. Meyers is a recent convert after an inspiring farm experience a few decades ago. Together they are raising grassfed beef and taking steps to protect and heal the farmland that they are working. The Bachmanns have added to their previous knowledge by attending a grassfed grazing school in 2011, while Meyers perpetually bugs them with ideas gleaned from The Stockman Grassfarmer and other journals. We are simultaneously building our pastures and our grassfeeding skills. Initial work includes the building of a herd around some cows and calves that the Bachmanns have moved from their family farm up the road. The first year has seen the conversion of tilled fields to pasture and the development of plans to protect the ponds and streams by providing internal fencing and managed grazing. The grazing company is off to a strong start and has a small number of grassfed steers to offer at the end of the first year of operations. We feed grass and hay only. We offer mineral supplements but absolutely no hormones and no antibiotics. The cattle are outside all the time and have had minimal health issues. The beef will be sold direct to the consumer with options on how and where it will be processed. Will deliver to the St. Louis area and will discuss options outside that immediate region. Our farm is just across the river from Illinois, so it is a worthy consideration for those in Southern Illinois as well.
