Someone said to me…
“Indiana Ground Is Too Good For Grass fed Beef!”
The argument was that land in Indiana is so productive for grain that it’s ‘wasted’ on forage. The best use of Indiana farmland is for growing corn and soybeans and Grassfed beef should be raised in places where crops don’t grow….like the the high deserts of the western United States and Australia. (85% of Grassfed Beef sold in the US comes from other countries…mostly the Australia)
Holistically Managed Lush Indiana Pastures
While it’s true that Central Indiana boasts some of the world’s most fertile soil, this attribute can actually serve as a foundation for producing exceptional grass fed beef. Our region’s high-quality soil provides an ideal environment for cultivating nutrient-rich forage, which forms the primary diet of grass-fed cattle. With such abundant and nutritious forage available, the animals have the opportunity to thrive and develop robust health profiles.

There’s a well-known quote by Michael Pollan that goes: “You are what you eat eats.” This phrase emphasizes the concept that the nutritional quality of the food we consume is deeply influenced by the diet and living conditions of the animals we consume. It underscores the importance of considering not just the direct impact of our food choices but also the entire ecosystem that supports the production of that food. This quote aligns well with the principles of regenerative farming and the focus on raising animals in a healthy and natural environment to ensure the highest quality and nutritional value of the final products.
