Are you looking for local farms near Nashville that raise grass-fed beef, and finish cattle on nothing but the grass nature intended?
As farmers raising and selling grass-fed, grass-finished beef in the Nashville/Murfeesboro/Chattanooga area, we are excited to see the grass-fed market growing. Despite the rapid growth, grass-fed beef only represents 1% of beef sold in America today.
One huge hurdle is defining the term grass-fed and spreading the word about the false-marketing surrounding it. Almost every cow in the world begins on pasture and is raised for a significant portion of its life on grass. It is at the end of its life where grass-fed beef differs from the majority of the beef sold. Just before slaughter, most cows are typically shipped to feed lots where they’re fed corn and other grains for a few months to bulk up while being kept in close quarters and given daily doses of antibiotics to prevent infection. Despite being fed these grains for several months, the USDA allows these animals to be called Grass-fed. We firmly believe that cows should be raised on a diet that is natural to their biology for their entire life. They are designed to eat pasture with a complex multi stomach digestive system.
Another hurdle that can be confusing for consumers is that cattle don’t need to be raised in the United States to be labeled a product of the United States. Most of the Grass-fed, Grass-finished beef sold in America is born, raised and slaughtered in foreign countries. They are then shipped to the United States for further processing. This allows the companies importing the beef to label it as a “product of the USA,” when in fact it was born and raised in a pasture far away.
If you live near Nashville, the simplest way to know that your animals are raised on grass their entire lives and are born and raised in the USA is to know your farmer. There are several farms practicing regenerative agriculture, improving the health of the land, the health of the animals, and keeping our water clean right in your own back yard. We strongly encourage you to support these local farms because without your support, small local farms won’t be able to compete against the corporate agricultural system that dominates the food markets.
