Cedar Beef

About this farm

Cedar Beef comes from our small family farm located in the traditional territories of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, at the edge of the Nanaimo River Estuary in beautiful Cedar, BC, on Vancouver Island. All three generations of our family help to run the farm, which provides us the opportunity to live close, and stay connected, to the land and the people we love. Having farmed here for 30 years, we are determined to steward a fertile, healthy land base to sustain our beef cattle and the abundance of wildlife that depend on the farm’s rich grasslands. Our Simmental-Red Angus cattle are born on the farm and live in a low stress, natural environment. They are free to roam lush, fertile, highly nutritious forage pastures throughout the grazing season and in winter are supplemented with homegrown grass silage. Once slaughtered, the beef is dry-aged for 21 days to relax the meat and intensify the flavor. The beef is then cut, wrapped and frozen at a provincially licensed Class ‘A’ slaughter facility nearby. This combination of genetics, grass-finishing, and dry-aging allows us to offer highly nutritious beef, free of hormones and antibiotics, and full of flavor. We sell halves and quarters, as well as by the cut. Our pre-packaged mixed freezer boxes offer a convenient way to try a selection of cuts (ask about The Mini, The Chuck Norris, The Big Beef Box, or The Holiday Box). We also sell raw grass fed pet food and marrow bones. We deliver to south/central Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and Whistler, and can be found at farmers markets in Duncan and Nanaimo. Our grass fed beef is also available at Island Natural Markets in Nanaimo.
