Grass-Fed Beef
Premium, ethically raised beef from our Vermont pastures
Our Grass-Fed Beef Program
At Elements Farm, our Grass-Fed Beef program is rooted in a commitment to animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and producing the highest quality beef. Our cattle are raised on lush Vermont pastures, enjoying a natural diet and humane handling throughout their lives.
We are starting with a small, carefully selected herd and plan to scale up our operation gradually. This approach allows us to refine our practices, ensure the health and well-being of each animal, and maintain the ecological balance of our pastures.
Our focus is on rotational grazing, which mimics natural herd movements, improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and provides our cattle with fresh, nutritious forage.
Focus on Health and Quality
Animal Welfare First
The health and happiness of our cattle are paramount. We provide ample space, clean water, and a low-stress environment. Our animals are never given hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. We believe that ethical treatment translates directly to superior beef quality.
Premium Beef Quality
Our 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef is known for its rich flavor, leanness, and favorable fatty acid profile. We carefully manage our pastures to ensure our cattle receive a diverse diet of grasses and legumes, contributing to the nuanced taste of our beef.
Why Choose Grass-Fed?
Grass-fed beef offers numerous benefits for your health and the environment compared to conventionally raised beef.
Nutritional Advantages
Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). Lower in total fat and calories.
Environmental Impact
Well-managed rotational grazing improves soil health, increases biodiversity, and can sequester carbon.
Ethical & Natural
Cattle live as nature intended, grazing freely on pasture, leading to healthier and happier animals.
Our Beef Offerings
Bulk Purchases & Shares
We plan to offer beef by the whole, half, or quarter cow, providing excellent value for families. This model allows customers to stock their freezers with a variety of cuts. We will also explore CSA-style meat shares.
Individual & Specialty Cuts
A selection of individual cuts like steaks, roasts, and ground beef will be available at our farmstand and potentially through local farmers' markets. We also aim to develop value-added products like gourmet burgers and artisanal beef jerky.
