In their words.
Chaffin Family Orchards, Oroville, California, has been providing local consumers with fresh-from-the-farm products since 1924. Grassfed Angus-Based Beef Cattle are used in the management of our orchards as well as graze annual grasses on our mountain pastures. Our grassfed beef is only harvested directly off of quickly growing green grasses in order to maximize the healthy fats in our beef. This produces meat of uncompromising quality raised in the most natural and low stress of environments. Animals are raised on annual and irrigated grasses with no chemical improvements. Our animals are truly part of a forage-dependent system. They receive minimal human inputs and no hormones or antibiotics unless ill, in which case they are removed from food production. Our beef is available on the farm by pre-order and at the Saturday Farmers Market in Chico, California. It is available year-round and is USDA-inspected, frozen and vacuum packed. Whole and half beef may be reserved in late winter and are harvested in late spring. Please contact us at (530) 533-1676 to discuss ordering, prices, and other arrangements. You may also check our listing at the Local Harvest website.
Chaffin Family Orchards lists grass-fed and no hormones on their public-facing materials. These are the producer’s own claims; we do not independently audit them. Available locally in California.
