We recently ordered the Vaquero Variety Package (our first order with you). We are so pleased with the variety of the cuts, the way it was packed and labeled and most importantly the flavor of the beef. The flavor of the ground beef is amazing and reminded me of the way ground beef tasted when I was much younger before there was PINK SLIME.(personally, I’m REPULSED at the idea of giant corporations adding anything to my food no matter how “safe” it is deemed to be)
We just want to eat REAL FOOD thats not been genetically modified, manipulated hormonally and loaded with pharmaceuticals. THANK YOU for providing this service!

On a lighter note, we also appreciated the communication and customer service you provided when there was a delay in our order due to unavailable cuts of beef for that package. It was WELL WORTH the wait!

We look forward to ordering more product from you in the future!
Sincerely,
Jackie, Las Vegas

My wife was able to have a ribeye steak sourced from Grass Roots Meats last night. She commented on how flavorful the cut was. There is a difference and highly recommend Grass Roots Meats!

Thank you for your comments. Many of our customers report that the meat from grass-finished animals is more easily digested. You might want to try some when you place your order for your family.

I am not a red meat eater now, as an adult. But as a child my mother made the cheapest meals she could just to fill out belly’s. Now, I choose not to eat red meat, simply for the health reasons and how much difficulty I have in breaking down the acids and proteins as well as the cholesterol levels that read high when I ate red meat. I find fish and plant based much easier for my digestive system. However, I prepare meats for my family, and want to only prepare the best and most organic and natural food for my children and grandchild. I am appalled at the list of ingredients on so many foods, many with unrecognizable names or inability to pronounce the chemicals. Or items that are preserved with so many by-products that I am no longer surprised at the new diseases or conditions that keep turning up in our medical journals. Or why today’s ADHD or Autism has astounding percentages. One in seven boys today are diagnosed with autism. We are what we eat, and only as healthy as what we eat. We should eat our foods in their most natural form with the least amount of chemical changes as well as our animals that we choose to eat should eat what they are supposed to eat with the least amount of chemical changes to their food sources. We have a moral obligation as well, to the animals we prepare as a food source and to treat them as best as we could. If we all tried, to eat the most healthy, and purchased only healthy foods in their natural state, then the producers would have to change what they put out there for us to buy. It is the consumers that basically control the market- If you don’t buy then they cannot sell and therefore have to make what sells. What happened to the simple times? Yes it takes more time to put out a better product and it may cost a little bit more but it is healthier, better for the environment and it gives us more time with our family and makes us realize what is important, and its not the almighty dollar.

I appreciate your comments also, and for taking the time to express your opinion. However, I could not disagree more with your position that the one characteristic that makes US beef the best and most desired in the world is corn. Unfortunately we are suffering the many consequences of too much corn in our diet, and the animals themselves suffer from the effects of corn on their digestive systems, systems that were not designed by God to process this kind of grain effectively. And from the testimonies of our many customers, they are not only not sacrificing quality for health benefits, but are actually enjoying some of the best beef they have ever eaten.

We realize at GrassRoots Meats that our product will only appeal to a small group of folks and we are fine with that. If you enjoy your grain-fed beef then by all means you should continue to delight in that pleasure. We appreciate your comments, and would like to invite our many subscribers to reply with their own opinions and testimonies concerning grass-finished beef. Thank you again.

I appreciate your comments and I enjoyed reading your article. I have had a fairly comprehensive career in the cattle and beef business. I have managed and owned feedlots and ranches and have managed a packing plant and marketed beef, as well as other meats; both domestically and abroad. In my plant, we harvested grass-fed cattle for one of the most prominent “natural and organic” grocery store chains in the country, as well as natural grain-fed cattle and other species for a number of different domestic and international customers. I witnessed the cattle, the yields, and, of course the beef. I agree that grass-fed beef has its place in the market, as does any product that consumers demand, but there is one prominent characteristic that makes US Beef the best and most desired in the world, corn.

From the economic standpoint, you have to be willing to give your grass away to produce grass-fed beef. But that was not a concern with the producers I was associated with. Most of them were not in it for the money, only the glamour of raising grass-fed beef; they had money from other sources to sustain them. Thus, I find it hard to believe that “natural or organic” grass-fed beef can be, truly, sustainable – the economics don’t work!

Fact of the matter is, I love all-natural, grain-fed, dry-aged, Angus beef, raised on our ranch. My next choice is grain-fed bison.

Best Regards,

I just wanted to write to say how happy we were with our Beef Sampler. The beef is fantastic quality and flavor and it’s something I really feel good feeding my family. I thought the package would last us quite a while but we can’t stop eating it and it looks like we’re going to have to place another order faster than we expected. Thank you for offering such wonderful customer service and providing such a great product!
