Markegard Family Grass-Fed

Markegard Family Grass-Fed provides the community with locally born, raised and processed grass-fed beef, lamb pastured pork and herdshares through a community supported agriculture program where individuals and families purchase shares of grass-finished beef, lamb and pastured pork as well as a buying club with weekly delivery year-round. Markegard Family Grass-Fed is certified with the American Grassfed Association and Animal Welfare Approved.

We offer large shares of beef and lamb as well as 10-20 pound family packs of beef. Our large shares of beef are available fresh in mid-summer when the forage conditions are at their peak of nutrition. Our beef and lamb are available in local restaurants such as Pasta Moon and Chez Shea in Half Moon Bay and Cafe Gibralter in El Granada. We are at several farmers markets in the area.
