Why Buy Individual Cuts From Your Local Farmer?

It is no secret that food these days isn't the same as it used to be. Full of additives, fillers, preservatives, and the like, our health as a society has taken a huge hit due to the fact that food just isn't as nutritious anymore.

This doesn't have to be the case with your beef! Just like eggs, milk, and vegetables, beef is a vital component of a well balanced diet that you can get directly from a local farmer!

People who support their local beef producer benefit from being the ones who get to taste the difference in quality, homegrown beef.

Here are some reasons that it may be time to ditch the big supermarkets and look local:

Nutritious, Quality Meat

When you're looking to implement a better lifestyle, diet is the biggest shift for most people. When you buy from a trusted local farmer, you can rest assured that you're getting a quality product that does not have any additives or fillers that may disrupt your health in negative ways. You also won't have to worry about cross-contamination or food-borne illnesses that sometimes come up through the big box stores.

You're Benefiting A Local Farmer

Whether this is their full time gig or simply a side job that they enjoy doing, you are benefiting the farmer and their family. Being part of a beef business that has grown over the last decade, we can emphatically say that our customers are a huge part in our success just by choosing to buy directly from us.

Minimizing Travel Distance

While some grocery stores support local feedlots, others source their beef from other parts of the country, and even neighboring countries. Buying straight from a local beef farm minimizes the distance your beef travels, from birth, to butcher, to your freezer.

Happy, Healthy Cows

Local beef producers take pride in growing quality beef by ensuring their herd is well taken care of in the least stressful environment possible. They go the extra mile to make sure they all have ample water, enough shade during the summer months, and shelter from the elements. Better treatment of the animal results in a happier cow, and in return, customers get the best product!

No Antibiotics or Growth Hormones

Farms like ours at Wholehearted Farm never use growth hormones. We don't use antibiotics either, unless presented with a very rare medical emergency that needs prompt treatment for the cow's health. Just like we get sick and sometimes need extra treatment from a doctor, cow's present instances where they also need to be treated for an illness that could otherwise result in death.

You Get To Choose Your Cuts

As long as they're in stock, you have a variety of cuts to choose from with roasts, steaks, and other miscellaneous cuts! From our farm, you can get these cuts as soon as you order them with pickup or local delivery, or have them shipped directly to your door!

The biggest advantage you have from a local farmer is you know where the beef comes from! There is something to be said when you know the producer by name, know how they care for their cattle, and trust them to grow the best product possible. Our goal at Wholehearted Farm is to give our customers the best quality beef for the best price, and to do everything wholeheartedly to the glory of God.
