In their words.
Glory Farms converted to the “simple” way of raising cattle and selling BEEF in the late 1990’s. We started “finishing” our animals on grass only and not subjecting them to man made chemicals by way of their feed. We let our pastures lay dormant for three years without any manmade fertilizers of insecticides added. In 2002, we moved locations, however, we continued the same philosophy. Our new pastures are ready and we are back in the grass finished business. We will continue to furnish angus/angus cross steers, but we have changed direction a little. We are seeing the importance of smaller serving sizes and the need to produce smaller “finished” animals. We have entered into the mini Hereford business. These are smaller animals that reflect the size of animals my dad and grandfather raised. Our philosophy can be summed up very easily. We believe the old ways are better. Animals need to be raised naturally; they need to go a minimum of 6 months without medication before being sold for beef; they need to be “finished”; they need to have clean water and lots of grass; and they need to reflect and participate in the slow pace simple life we enjoy here at Glory Farms.
Glory Farms lists grass-fed and grass-finished on their public-facing materials. These are the producer’s own claims; we do not independently audit them.
