Vendor Profile: Thousand Hills 100% Grass-Fed Beef

cattle grazing on grass by lake

Have you tried Thousand Hills grass-fed ground beef yet?

We are confident that it is a superior product at an unbeatable price.

The stated mission of Thousand Hills 100% Grass Fed Beef is to, “Nourish soil, plants, cattle, and people by holistically grazing cattle for their lifetime.”

Thousand Hills cattle live freely on grass pastures that are not sprayed with synthetic pesticides or herbicides, and are never confined to a feedlot. In the winter, cattle consume stockpiled or stored forages, like hay.

Know No Policy

The ranch is known for its “Know No” policy: no antibiotics, no artificial hormones, and no grain—ever in the animal’s life. In the rare case an animal requires antibiotics due to illness or injury, it is treated and diverted to the conventional beef market, never to be sold under the Thousand Hills label.

Grass-fed Beef Health Benefits

According to the information shared on the Thousand Hills website, featured health benefits of eating 100% grass-fed beef include, “increased amounts of omega-3 fatty acids; vitamins A, D, E, & K2; and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). Additionally, grass-fed beef is shown to be lower in cholesterol, saturated fats, and calories when compared to grain-fed beef.”

Family-farmed

Cattle are currently sourced from small Midwestern independent family farms that follow the “Know No” policy. To meet increasing demand from our side of the country, Thousand Hills is expanding to include West Coast family farms.

Styrofoam-free Packaging

Co-op shoppers will also be pleased to know that Thousand Hills ground beef is never packaged in Styrofoam trays.

More Products from Thousand Hills

Given the quality of Thousand Hills ground beef, our buyers are currently testing several more of its products and hope to introduce more 100% grass-fed beef products from Thousand Hills in the future.

Smoky & Spicy Burger Recipe

Try this simple yet delicious recipe on burger night. Pasture-raised beef seems to cook up tender and juicy, with a more neutral flavor. I love that the subtle spices of this burger seasoning come through.
