Meat should be priced according to its weight.

The true cost of these meats would be pennies on the dollar in a society where the federal reserve and congress were not devaluing the currency at every turn. If you are going to be involved in such an industry, then you ought to be informing the consumer of the root cause of these astronomical prices (our ancestors used to eat these for free because the animals were allowed to roam as they wished and could be harvested at will)

Thruout history these vital foods were systematically monopolized by the so called elite, caviar for example used to be fertility food fed to tribal women 6-12, months before birth because it was the difference between a healthy baby and not. Somewhere along the way, a food that is hyperabundant became a luxury food. Same all over the planet with so many different foods.

If you are going to be in this industry and take up space where animals used to roam free and offer their products to whomever could catch them, then help educate so we can return to this abundance. Grassfed meat would be pennies on the dollar if a)no fractional reserve banking practices, and b)it got the same level of subsidies as corn, soy, sugar, etc, and c) even if it didn't get those subsidies, but these poisonous monocrops didn't either, then prices would be much closer in disparity.

If you are in this industry and make excuses for why you are not helping to educate so the consumer can further make helpful choices in our complex web of socioeconomics, then this is the kind of review you merit. Absolutely disappointing. I don't strictly blame you for the sky high prices, but without the factor of education, especially when it's just a one-time cost of slapping a little explanation and information under the frequently asked questions section of a website, then the excuses are just that....

I've been getting packages of beef from Grass Fed Cattle Co. for almost four years, and my thoughts about them have evolved. Initially, they were just a convenient way to give my family literally the best meat around – just a service provider among many that I didn't have a personal connection with.

But the second time I interacted with Abby at GFCC, she put up with some, um … unreasonable requests of mine and did it with a smile. By my 5th time buying their ethically-sourced and delicious meat, I was having a twenty minute conversation during my pick-up with Abby and her husband Marcus about their goals, their business processes (exceptional for a small biz), and how I could help them more.

This review is just a small way for me to show my gratitude for what they represent as people, how they show up in the world, and the ripple effect they're having for everyone who comes in contact with them. Next...

We stumbled upon The Grass Fed Cattle Co as they had a booth at the Edina Art Fair. We are so happy we did. We ordered 1/8 beef share and a pork bundle, which fit in the top portion of an older type refrigerator/freezer without any issues. Each piece of meat comes shrink wrapped and frozen so no air can get in to spoil the meat. The ordering and pick-up couldn’t be any easier. Thank you, Abby!! So far, we have had the bacon, pork chops, and did a taste comparison of a few steaks. I say comparison, but it really didn’t matter. All the cuts were amazing, but just with a little different flavor. Sorry I forgot to take pictures since we just started eating it so fast!! I would highly recommend The Grass Fed Cattle Co. and will definitely be back once we’ve gone through our freezer. We will be grilling some more this weekend and...
