Made in the USA: Why Our 100% Grass Fed Beef Stands Out
November 12, 2024
When you see the “Born, pasture raised†, and harvested in the USA” claim on our Grass Run Farms product labels, it’s more than words—it’s our commitment to you. We know you care about what you eat, where it’s from, and how it’s made. That’s why our cattle are raised on American soil and nurtured by Midwestern family farmers who prioritize the land, animal welfare, and sustainable practices.
Some grass fed beef on American shelves is imported from Australia, New Zealand, or Uruguay. With new USDA regulations, starting January 2026, only meat truly raised here will hold “Product of the USA” or “Made in the USA” labels. For us, those labels have always been our standard.
By choosing Grass Run Farms, you’re supporting local farmers and sustainable, American agriculture. Our farmers aren’t just suppliers—they’re neighbors who work responsibly with the land and have a commitment to sustainability and their communities. By purchasing Grass Run Farms beef, you’re contributing to local economies, championing sustainable practices, and enjoying beef that’s raised with care and purpose. It’s a choice you can feel good about, knowing that your food is as thoughtfully produced as it is delicious.
