Grass-Fed Beef
Have you noticed our new grass-feed beef counter? All of our fresh beef in this counter is raised in Elgin, MN by one of our Down in the Valley partners, Hidden Stream Farm. They raise quality beef like British Whites in grass pastures. In the winter time, the cattle are fed grass hay. Many proponents of grass-feed beef point out that it is just as high in omega-3 as salmon. It is a leaner beef with a distict flavor
Valley Natural Foods practices the near-extinct art of hanging beef which refers to cutting steaks and roasts from the whole carcass. This unique practice allows us to safely control the process. Our meet department HASSUP-certified, meaning we adhere to strict safety standards including weekly inspections. Our friendly meat department staff can assist you with requests for special cuts.
You can immediately tell our grass-fed beef is fresh. However, we do not dye our meat or process it with chemicals so it does tend to discolor more rapidly than pre-packaged, pre-frozen beef (exactly the kind we do not sell at Valley Natural Foods. If you prefer traditional-finished beef, we have that too and it’s all-natural, hormone-free and grown locally. Be sure to ask us about purchasing quarter or half sides of beef that we will cut and wrap for you.
