Our Virginia-raised beef at Longbottom Farm is grass-fed & grass-finished. We provide cuts from pasture-raised cattle that produce a rich, complex, and artisanal flavor. The cattle are allowed to mature slowly on grass, just as nature intended. We feed no supplemental grains nor use hormones or antibiotics. This means you get great tasting, healthy, chemical free cuts of beef. Grass-fed beef has been shown to be higher in heart and brain healthy omega 3 fatty acids, beta carotene, and vitamins A & E. This translates into a premium, grass-fed, pasture-raised beef we know you are going to love!
