Beef Raised on Functional Nutrition.

MONTANA CATTLE. A SLOW CALIFORNIA FINISH.

Small batches, finished with whole foods like wine grapes, olives, king oyster mushrooms, sweet potatoes, macadamia and rosemary, working in harmony to create beef that is packed with rare nutrients and second to none in flavor.

FUNCTIONAL FOOD

We don't just chase Prime. We chase nutrition.

Most premium beef is sold on one thing: how much fat is in the steak.

Overly fatty imported beef is often portrayed as the pinnacle of beef quality.

Instead, we feed for what ends up in the meat — omega-3s, omega-7s, conjugated linoleic acid, ergothioneine, vitamin E, and antioxidants from foods like açaí. And we feed for flavor too, with barley, sweet potatoes and pears instead of corn for marbling. Every ingredient in our ration is there for a reason, and we tell you exactly what it is.

Scientists call it alliesthesia: your body makes food taste better when it delivers what you need. Feed cattle real food, and you can taste it.

Beef for people who optimize what goes into their bodies.

THE DATA

Don't take our word for it.

Anyone can call their beef healthy. We'd rather prove it.

Once this batch is finished and processed, we'll send samples to an independent lab and share every result with our buyers — good or bad. You'll know exactly what you're feeding your family.

OUR LAST BEEF, LAB TESTED

Ribeye from our Alaska-raised cattle, compared against grass-fed and grain-fed benchmarks:

  • Higher total antioxidants than both grass-fed and grain-fed
  • Higher protein than both grass-fed and grain-fed
  • Higher potassium and magnesium
  • An omega-6 to omega-3 ratio closer to grass-fed than grain-fed

This batch is a new ration on new ground, so it gets tested too.

WHAT WE'LL TEST FOR

Omega-3s
Omega-3 : 6 Ratio
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Vitamin E

Buyers from this first batch get the lab report for the beef they bought.

OUR STORY

Carved out of raw wilderness.

I learned to ranch in the subarctic of Alaska, carving a ranch out of raw wilderness. Ranching was my third career, and I had to learn all of it: haying, calving, feeding, finishing, processing.

But I had a bigger dream: to create the finest beef on Earth. For that, I needed California's agricultural wealth.
