Brandon Natural Beef

About this farm

Brandon Natural Beef offers Colorado’s traditional 100% grass fed, small ranch beef to consumers in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We partner with Elin Parker Ganschow of Music Meadows Ranch in the Wet Mountain Valley near Westcliffe. Elin comes from several generations of ranchers and has been conducting a grass fed program for over 15 years. Music Meadows was recently placed under a conservation easement with the San Isabel Land Protection Trust, preserving its abundant natural resources forever. On Music Meadows, our cattle graze on 100% native alpine grass and drink live water from mountain streams. In 2014, the Wet Mountain Valley was blessed with abundant rain. Our cattle ate well and our beef tastes amazing. Our cattle never receive growth hormones or antibiotics. Elin personally selects each animal for our grass-fed program, cares for them, and keeps comprehensive records on each one. When you purchase Brandon Natural Beef, you can be confident about where it came from and how it was processed. Our cattle travel just 90 minutes to be processed, so they endure minimal stress. At the processing plant, bar codes ensure that Brandon Natural Beef stays segregated from other beef, allowing product traceability and source verification. You can be certain that you are getting humanely processed 100% grass-fed beef. Order steaks, slow-cook braising cuts, and ground beef online. Our goal is to provide the best value for 100% grass-fed beef. This fall we implemented a centralized pickup program for the Bay Area. We also offer smaller packages and individual cuts which can be shipped. We believe our Quarter Cow Purchase Program and 20-pound mixed 100% grass-fed packages offer the best values. Each month, we vary our offerings. They feature: premium and mid-cut steaks; roasts, short ribs, stew meat, or brisket; and ground beef, hot dogs or brats. During the holidays we feature Prime Rib Roasts and Tenderloin Roasts, as well. All our beef is fresh frozen, packed in cryovac, and stored at minus 20 degrees. We also partner with other amazing 100% grass-fed providers, including Lava Lake Lamb, Hat Creek Grown and Richards Grass-fed Beef.
