🐂 Meet Another One of Our Vendors: Arbuckle Cattle! 🌾

Based in Avon Park, Florida, Arbuckle Cattle is dedicated to raising one of Florida's most unique heritage breeds, the Florida Cracker. Descended from cattle brought to Florida by Spanish explorers more than 500 years ago, this breed has adapted to thrive on Florida's native forage.

At Arbuckle Cattle, they believe great beef starts with patience. Their cattle are raised with care and respect, spending their lives grazing on grass and native Florida forage just as nature intended. The result is high quality, 100% grass fed beef with a rich, bold flavor that's hard to find anywhere else.

Their beef is USDA inspected, dry aged, vacuum sealed for freshness, and they believe in honoring the whole animal by utilizing everything they can, from premium cuts to bones, organ meats, suet, and even the hides.

While they're best known for their exceptional beef, they also offer a selection of other amazing proteins, including pork, lamb, and more.
