How To Buy Grass-Fed Beef Locally

Introduction

More and more people are asking where their food comes from—and for good reason. Grass-fed beef has become the gold standard for those who want nutrient-dense, clean protein that supports both human health and soil health. But the big question is: how do you buy grass-fed beef locally without getting lost in confusing grocery store labels?

At Tyner Pond Farm, we’ve been raising 100% grass-fed and finished beef in Central Indiana for years. Here’s a simple guide to help you find—and trust—local grass-fed beef near you.

1. Understand What Grass-Fed Really Means

Not all “grass-fed” beef is the same. Some cattle are fed grass for part of their life, then finished on grain in a feedlot. If you want true grass-fed and grass-finished beef, make sure the farm raises cattle on pasture their entire lives.

At Tyner Pond Farm, our cattle are pasture-raised for health, moved daily to fresh grass, and never given antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines. That’s what makes the difference in the nutrition of the meat.

2. Buy Direct From a Local Farm

The best way to know your beef is truly grass-fed is to buy directly from a local farm. Ask questions like:

• Do the cattle stay on pasture year-round?

• Are they moved daily to fresh forage?

• Do you ever use antibiotics or confinement housing?

When you buy direct, you’re not just getting better beef—you’re also keeping food dollars in your community and supporting regenerative farming in Indiana.

3. Look for Local Delivery or Farm Store Options

You don’t have to drive hours to buy from a farm anymore. Many regenerative farms (including us) now offer local beef delivery in Indiana, bringing nutrient-dense beef right to your home. It’s true farm-to-door beef delivery—fresh, local, and convenient.

Prefer to shop in person? Visit a farm store where you can see how the animals are raised and meet the farmers yourself.

4. Know What Cuts You Need

Grass-fed beef comes in more than just steaks. From ground beef to roasts, and even organ meats, variety matters for both nutrition and cost. Buying in grass-fed beef bundles makes it simple to stock your freezer while saving money.

For bigger savings, consider buying a quarter cow locally, which gives you a wide variety of cuts at the best price per pound.

5. Support Local Agriculture

When you buy local grass-fed beef, you’re not just feeding your family better—you’re helping protect farmland, improve soil health, and strengthen your community’s food system.

That’s the real difference between grocery store beef and beef from a local regenerative farm.
