What Our Customers
are Saying...


"We are very happy with our beef... it is very tender and flavorful. We will order more."
Michelle Clarke-Exton, PA


"I knew that local foods are much better for the environment, and that grass-fed beef is healthier than corn-fed beef. I didn't know that it tasted so good and grilled so well. This is good stuff."

Shelly Slyker-Parkton, MD


"The taste of your grass fed beef is the best of any I have experienced! This, in addition to the healthy, natural nutrients found in your grass fed beef, makes Ironstone Spring Farm my #1 choice to purchase my grass fed beef. Your personal service has been outstanding and appreciated!"

Ed Conway

"We used the grass fed beef for our favorite meal - taco night! We all noticed and loved the flavor of the beef. I'm thrilled to be making healthier meals for my family. Also, I love how it comes freezer wrapped, this makes it very easy to store. I'm looking forward to many more great meals."

Grass-Fed Beef

How We Raise Our Beef

Ironstone Spring Farm has 85 acres of all natural pasture that our cattle love to graze on most of the year. When it snows they are given all natural grass hay, the majority of it having been harvested from our pastures.

All of our natural grass-fed beef cattle are raised directly on our farm, free of hormones, and antibiotics. The mama cows, baby calves and beef cattle are humanely treated and have free range on our lush delicious pastures. Sheds are provided for them to go into at their leisure when there is inclimate weather. We never force our cattle into confined feed lots or give them growth hormones or grain.

Health Benefits

As our cattle eat all natural grass, the meat is very healthy for you and your family. It is much lower in fat and naturally provides Omega 3 fatty acids which may help prevent diabetes and heart disease. It is also higher in CoQ10, an enzyme needed for proper heart function and circulatory issues. CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant. Grass-fed beef contains beta-carotene, also an antioxidant that helps with immune function.

Processing

The beef is processed at a local USDA certified processor. Your grass-fed beef is cut to your specifications. It is individually packaged and labeled, and may be picked up at our farm or delivered to you for a shipping fee.

1 Steer will yield approximately 400 total pounds of beef.** Your total cost per pound will average $6.50 per pound for all the cuts of meats including the beef patties. We take care of everything for you and call you when the meat is ready for pick up for delivery to you.
