Grateful Graze began as a way to provide healthy food from healthy soil to local families. Today we offer 100% Grass-Fed / Grass-Finished Beef, Lamb and Pasture-Raised Chicken online. It is available for home delivery around our region and for pickup at a growing number of locations (enter your zip code on our website to find the location nearest you). In the future, we will offer eggs and pork all raised upon the same soil health and animal health principles with which we began this journey.
We have worked for many years to adopt soil-improving practices such as no-till, buffer strips and cover crops on our family farm in Cambridge, Illinois. Now we are bringing livestock back to the land in the way God designed the soil-plant-animal system to work. We believe that soil health, animal health, and human health are linked together in ways that we are just beginning to understand.
Our cattle are outside in fields, never eat grain, and move across the land like a herd. They never receive hormones, and only a few get an antibiotic in the event of a life-threatening situation, never in their feed.
We are grateful for your belief in us, our team who makes this possible, the animals in our care, and the land we steward. Thank you for choosing Grateful Graze.
