Grass Roots Farmers Cooperative farm
A Farmer-Owned Cooperative

Here are the farms.

Most meat companies tell you their standards. We'll tell you the names. Every farm that raises a Grass Roots animal is listed on this page, and the one that raised yours is printed on the package.

05 / Read Your Package

Two things on every package that most beef won't tell you

Turn a package over and there are two pieces of information printed on it that you won't find on a supermarket tray.

Farm of origin

The farm that raised the animal.

One of the names above. Not a region, not a brand, not “Product of USA.”

Julian date
26/214

Year, then day of the year. 26/214 is the 214th day of 2026 — the day this was flash-frozen.

Neither is a marketing claim. They're just facts about your specific package, printed where you can check them.

06 / How the Co-op Works

Owned by the farmers. No middlemen, ever.

Grass Roots isn't a brand that buys from farms. It's a cooperative the farms own.

The people raising the animals share in the business, and they're paid close to 90% more than the industry standard.

That's why the chain is short and why the names are on the packages. Transparent meat sourcing isn't a policy we adopted. It's the structure of the company.

07 / What Gets Measured

Verified by people who don't work for us

Our farms are enrolled in Land to Market's Ecological Outcome Verification. Verifiers accredited by the Savory Institute come out and take measurements on four things.

Soil Health
Water
Carbon
Biodiversity

It's an outcome standard, not a checklist. It looks at what's actually happening to the land rather than what practices we say we follow.

On the farms themselves, animals are moved continually to fresh pasture. We keep roots in the ground, avoid bare soil, and don't till.

08 / Membership

You can own a piece of the outcome too

Membership is how customers back the farms directly — steady, predictable support that lets a farmer plan a season instead of guessing at one.

Barnraiser

$39 / month

Your $39 comes back as a $39 credit every month, plus 10% cashback and $30 for every friend you refer. Named for the way a community used to put up a barn.

10 / Questions

FAQ

A little more about how our cooperative, farms, and traceability work.

How do I find out which farm my meat came from?

It's printed on the package. Match the name to the directory above.

Are all your farms listed on this page?

We're continuing to build out this directory so you can see every farm that supplies the co-op.

What does “farmer-owned” actually mean?

The farmers raising the animals hold ownership in the cooperative and share in what it earns. They're paid close to 90% more than the industry standard, and there's no middleman between their farm and your order.

Who checks standards?

Two groups. Savory Institute–accredited verifiers measure ecological outcomes on the land, and a governing board of member farmers visits co-op farms to confirm standards are being held across all of them.

Where do you ship and what does it cost?

Every state except Alaska, frozen, in insulated compostable packaging with dry ice. Delivery takes 2–7 days. Free shipping is available on orders over $149.

11 / Come See for Yourself

Know whose farm it came from.

Grass-fed beef, pastured chicken and pork from a cooperative of small American farms — every one of them named.
