It is said that the term "butt" may date back to colonial New England days when meat was packed and shipped in wooden barrels called butts.

Why Grass Roots Meat is Better

100% USA Pasture Raised

100% pasture-raised, like animals should live. Know where your meat was born and raised with the farm of origin printed on every package!

Small-Scale Farming and Processing

Our meat is all hand-processed by humans, with fair wages to our farmers and processors. Hands on every step.

Taste the difference

You can taste the pasture-raised, grass-fed flavor. Packed with fatty acids, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in every bite.

Naturally Healthy Animals

Keeping animals healthy without the use of antibiotics or hormones. Our farms all follow our livestock standards.

Farming Practices

Every Grass Roots animal is born, raised and harvested in the USA. They graze on natural, non-GMO pasture and are never treated with hormones or antibiotics. Our pigs root and wallow in the forested areas of our farms and because they are not ruminants, are supplemented with non-GMO, custom-mix feed ration containing probiotics and nutrients.

We practice regenerative farming that fosters a diversity of plants, uses no-till methods, and incorporates grazing animals to restore the soil and respect the animals. Our farms and processing facilities maintain the highest standards and provide economic opportunities in rural communities.
