Since beef cheeks are full of connective tissue, they require slow, gentle cooking to break down the collagen and release their full potential. The result is a deeply flavorful, tender cut that’s ideal for a variety of slow-cooked recipes.
By choosing our 100% Grass-Fed, needle-free beef cheeks, you’re embracing nose-to-tail eating, truly honoring the animal and making the most of every part—just like our ancestors did. Our cattle are rotationally grazed on nutrient-rich pastures and never given antibiotics, vaccines, hormones, or unnecessary chemicals—ensuring a clean, collagen-rich cut.
Whether you’re braising, simmering, or slow-roasting, beef cheeks bring a richness that can’t be beat!
Best Cooking Methods:
- Braising – Slow-cook beef cheeks in a flavorful liquid (like water + herbs, broth, wine, or a mix) at low temperatures for hours to break down the connective tissue and transform it into a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Slow Cooking – Use a slow cooker or crockpot to cook beef cheeks for several hours. This allows the collagen to break down into tender, juicy goodness, perfect for shredding.
- Pressure Cooking – Speed up the slow-cooking process with a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. This method helps break down the collagen in a fraction of the time while keeping the beef incredibly tender.
Traditional Recipes for Beef Cheeks:
- Beef Cheek Tacos – Braise or slow-cook beef cheeks with cumin, garlic, onion, and chili, then shred the meat and serve in soft tortillas with fresh toppings like salsa, avocado, and cilantro.
- Beef Cheek Stew – A classic comfort food. Braise beef cheeks with root vegetables, tomatoes, red wine, and herbs to make a rich, hearty stew perfect for a cozy meal.
- Beef Cheek Ragu – Slowly cook beef cheeks with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and wine. Once tender, shred the meat and serve over pasta for a flavorful, comforting ragu.
- Traditional Beef Cheek Pot Roast – Braise beef cheeks with vegetables, wine, and herbs in a Dutch oven. Cook low and slow for a tender, flavorful roast.
- Beef Cheek Burritos – Shred slow-cooked beef cheeks and wrap in a warm tortilla with beans, rice, cheese, and salsa for a satisfying meal.
- Beef Cheek Pibil – A traditional Mexican dish where beef cheeks are marinated with achiote paste and citrus juice, wrapped in banana leaves, and slow-cooked until tender and flavorful.

100% Grass-Fed
Our commitment to 100% grass-fed beef means no grains, no feedlots—ever. Our cattle graze freely on nutrient-rich pastures, eating the diet nature intended, which supports their metabolic health and aligns with their natural physiology. In contrast, grain-fed cattle are confined to feedlots with limited movement, rapidly fattened on high-energy grain diets that produce excessively fatty meat—far removed from the cuts of meat historically consumed from wild ruminants.
Research shows that grain-fed cattle develop elevated glucose metabolites, triglycerides, and oxidative stress markers, while pasture-finished animals maintain superior metabolic function.
By choosing our 100% grass-fed beef, you’re enjoying a cleaner, more nutrient-dense product that mirrors the meat our ancestors thrived on—free from the endocrine-disrupting pesticides and phytoestrogens often found in conventional grain-fed beef.
Regeneratively Raised
Raw dairy, as Mother Nature intended, has been cherished for thousands of years for its rich nutritional profile. Unlike pasteurized dairy, raw dairy contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and vital nutrients that are often destroyed by heat treatment. The natural enzymes and beneficial bacteria, like lactobacillus and butyrate-producing bacteria, are preserved in raw milk, which support the production of lactase in the gut, enhancing lactose digestion and improving overall gut health. Additionally, raw dairy is rich in lactoferrin, a powerful whey protein that plays a critical role in immune health, gut function, and inflammation reduction. Unlike pasteurized or ultra-processed dairy, raw dairy retains its full nutritional value, providing a potent source of health-boosting properties.
Our raw dairy is sourced from rotationally grazed livestock on diverse pastures, ensuring the milk contains not only an abundance of essential vitamins and minerals, but also beneficial phytochemicals—bioactive compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. The nutritional quality of dairy is directly linked to the grazing practices, and livestock that graze on varied grasses and plants accumulate more of these beneficial phytochemical compounds. These phytonutrients transfer into the milk, offering you dairy that is richer in natural goodness. By accessing raw dairy from rotationally grazed animals, you are nourishing your body with a truly nutrient-dense product, packed with the goodness that nature intended.
Free of Pharmaceuticals and Toxic Agrochemicals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical interventions. Our cattle are raised in optimal conditions—grazing on fresh pasture, breathing clean air, and regularly moved to new grass, ensuring they aren’t living in their own waste or exposed to toxins. This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), hormones, and dewormers. In contrast, conventional feedlot cattle are confined to crowded, unsanitary conditions, requiring constant pharmaceutical support to stay healthy.
By prioritizing regenerative farming practices, our farmers raise resilient cattle that rarely get sick. Our animals experience minimal parasite exposure, no stress from confinement, and receive optimal nutrition from diverse pastures that supports their immune function and metabolic health. Our needle-free beef offers pure, wholesome meat—just as nature intended—without the pharmaceutical crutches required by industrial agriculture.
Needle free meat - free of vaccines, antibiotics, hormones & dewormers.
