Plum River Farm

About this farm

Plum River Farm is located in the rolling hills of Jo Daviess County, in the northwest section of Illinois. Whole animals, sides and quarters of 100% grassfed beef can be reserved for later summer/fall pickup, and we try to maintain an adequate supply of individual cuts and 20-pound sampler boxes for those who would rather purchase smaller quantities throughout the year. Our herefords and red angus are 100% grass fed and grass finished and are fed no antibiotics or hormones. They eat only grass and hay grown on our farm without pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, though we are not certified as organic. We ensure the health and well being of our animals and the quality of the resulting beef by following the stringent standards developed by Animal Welfare Approved and the American Grassfed Association, of which we are proud members. Our animals are processed at a small, family-run facility located only 15 miles from our farm, where they are dispatched quickly and humanely by practices specified by Animal Welfare Approved.
