Gladhour Farm is a family farm in north central Missouri. The farming plan is sustainable agriculture: row crops are certified organic; veal and beef are raised naturally on cow's milk and forage with no added hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics; and heritage breeds (Irish Dexter Cattle and Babydoll Southdown Sheep) are raised for breeding stock and enjoyment.
Historic landmarks, roadways, equipment, buildings, and plants are valued to give visitors glimpses of times gone by and current opportunities for simplicity, and are a highlight on the farm. A pair of Dexter oxen are currently in training (a new adventure). When you arrange to pick up your meat order, you can make a visit and watch our progress!
Gladhour Farm’s natural beef and veal come from pure Dexters and Dexter crosses, so the cuts are smaller than typical. Some say the tenderness and flavor are subtly special and unusually delightful. Shipping for GF meats may become a reality in the future. For now, totally grass-finished beef and natural veal can be ordered ahead for a completely custom-done whole-animal order, or can be bought by the half or sample package by contacting GF with your order.
The meat is USDA-inspected, dry-aged, packaged and frozen. Pick up is done by arranging to meet at the locker plant. With your GF meat purchase, you are helping to sustain a farming community by supporting both a small, local, family-run meat processing business and Gladhour Farm family farm.
