Description

Why buy local?

• Buying local helps support local farms and farmers, and that helps boost the local economy.
• Locally-sourced from right here in Central Appalachia – that equals less fossil fuel consumption and lowered emissions.
• Less travel also equals better quality beef. Cattle are highly stressed when transported, which causes them to release cortisol and adrenaline hormones that negatively impact the quality of the beef.
• Locally-sourced beef is generally healthier. Farms are smaller here in Central Appalachia, and that means herd size is smaller, too. Farmers know their cattle and genuinely care about their well-being – what they eat and how they are treated. Cattle roam here, free to graze or enjoy the shade of a tree.
• Local food, including meat, simply tastes better. But don’t take our word for it. Try it yourself and share your feedback with Brittany Woodby at bwoodby@asdevelop.org.

Plus, Appalachian Harvest Beef complies with the highest safety and quality standards.

• We make sure our cattlemen are mentored on best practices for animal husbandry;
• And that they have been thoroughly trained to obtain their Beef Quality Assurance certification;
• Plus, USDA inspection ensures the beef is safe, wholesome, and properly labeled.

For all those reasons and more – that’s why we call it beefin’ good!

Note: If you already purchase beef from a local farmer, please continue doing that! Our mission is to support local farmers, not compete with them.
