Beyond Organic

As a family business, our work is done as unto the Lord our God.  Our religious heritage is very important to us.  As a parallel, the heritage of our cattle on their isolated pristine island is very special to us as well.  Their origin goes back to the first beef cattle brought to Sitkinak Island in 1937.  This strain of cattle has thrived in the lush coastal environment ever since that time. 

In 2004, we acquired Organic certification, but didn't have to change anything to do it.  Did you know the Organic program allows animals to be confined, fed artificially, and given vaccines?  We've never given a hormone implant or vaccine, never fed hay or grain, and never confined these cattle to a small pen.  They are free of things that even the USDA Organic program allows! 

In 2009, we certified them as Certified Naturally Grown, and then finally realized...there is no label to convey the quality of this beef.  The term natural allows just about anything to be done, thus would be misleading as well.  Our cattle are a breed of their own, ranging free on the wild North Pacific island of Sitkinak.

So we’ve created our own label called “Beyond Organic”.

As a family, we have been annually harvesting the calves and older animals in the effort to sustainably manage the herd for it's optimum health.  If you are interested in joining our customer list and filling your freezer with free-range, native grass-fed beef, please contact us.
