What is Grass-Fed Beef?
A grass-fed beef farm in Maryland raises cattle on a natural diet of pasture and forage. This ensures high-quality meat that is hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and nutrient-rich. Unlike conventional feedlots, these farms prioritize ethical treatment, sustainable grazing, and healthier beef production.
At Genuine Food, we provide locally raised, grass-fed beef through our Meat CSA program. Maryland residents get fresh, premium-quality beef directly from farm to table.
