Beaver Meadow Farms, Certified Organic Producer #14-096, is certified by the Fraser Valley Organic Producers’ Association for 401 acres of crop production (pasture) and 260 head of livestock (Dairy / Beef). Our Certified Angus and Certified organically raised beef herd is completely grass-fed, raised and fattened on pasture and grass silage with no supplemental grain feed, and raised in accordance with the requirements for Organic Certification. We are a “Conservation Partner,” recognizing our ecological farm standards within The Land Conservancy Program of B.C.
We’re the third generation of our family to own and operate Beaver Meadows Farms, a designated Heritage Farm. Together, these designations and certifications mean that the Farm adheres strictly to the very highest standards of land and animal stewardship, a philosophy and way of life that our family has endorsed for many years. We harvest non-grazed pastures and vacuum pack the silage so even in winter, the cows eat pristine grasses, wildflowers and herbs. Enjoy delicious terroir and superior nutrition of pasture-perfect, grass-finished Natural Pastures Beef.
The uniqueness of our mild marine climate, Certified Angus herd and Certified Organic natural farming based on grass pastures creates an unparalleled, superior taste and quality. Our Heritage Farms pristine, pure pastures, streams, forests and coastal location, provide a deliciously rare “terroir.”
For your ideal enjoyment, Natural Pastures Beef is traditionally processed to customers' specifications and dry aged for superior flavour and tenderness by Gunter Brothers Meat Company. Located 10 km from our Heritage Farms, they are a government inspected facility and a third generation Comox Valley business specializing in custom meat processing.
Our Certified Organic beef is available from local retailers on Vancouver Island under their brand “Island Pastures” at Country Grocer, and under our brand “Natural Pastures Beef” from additional stores. Beginning in September 2012, it will be available in Choices Markets in the Greater Vancouver Area. Custom orders of Natural Pastures Beef are available directly from us at Beaver Meadow Farms (full animal orders only).
