ALL our beef is raised and butchered in IL.
We have 1/2 or 2 quarters left for the 2026 season! Get it while it's available. We take a break Dec, Jan, and Feb so our next won't be going in until March and you don't want to have to wait that long.

$8.50/lb includes processing
$100 non-refundable deposit per quarter to book (deposit is applied to your balance upon pickup)
Pasture raised (grass fed and grass finished)

We will also have ground beef in about 2 weeks! No minimum order or deposit on ground beef, just call or text to pick up.

Farmer Ed, Jay, and I did a cut out bee removal today for a friend. Old farm house with lath and plaster walls. This hive was perfectly nestled in the stud space with fire stops between rooms and at the floor level which made it super easy to cut in and get out. I saw the queen and could not grab her in time so she was in hiding and wouldn't come out. We will go back this evening with the hope that all the bees will either be in the box now that all their brood is in there, or balled up with the queen.

Don't do this.
Let this be a lesson.

I was called to a local spot for some honey bees in this column. Unfortunately before I arrived, they were sprayed with insecticide and spray foam used to seal it up. There were only a few bees left that were trying to get into their home.

If you have an issue with bees, please call a Beekeeper. DO not just spray them.

Happy 250th birthday America!!!

The cows are enjoying the rain and cooler temps. With most everyone heavily pregnant (due any moment), they were having some heat related stress. Thankfully nothing some electrolytes couldn't help.
