Delicious
Over the years, we consistently hear from our repeat customers that our grass fed beef is, “quite frankly, the best beef we have ever eaten”. A new customer just dropped us a note, “simply superb”!
Local
We are northern California’s source of truly premium, natural grass finished beef. Our cattle are borne here, are raised and cared for everyday of their happy life.
Natural
Our cattle are beyond organic, they are extreme natural. Our beef never receive any type of hormone, growth promotant, or unnecessary antibiotic. The grass they graze is completely natural.
Grass Raised and Finished
Our beef are born (calved) on native pastures and grow at their mother's side until they are seven to eight months of age. Then they are weaned where we separate them from their mothers and put them together with all the calves their age. There we feed them just a little bit of hay, that we raise ourselves, to teach them to want to come to us and to gentle them for easier handling. Then, they go back out onto our pastures and rangelands where they spend another nine to 17 months eating native grass. It takes a long time of eating only grass to finish (fatten) them to the perfect condition in order to create that succulent, tender and tasty steak or roast. We work hard to ensure that each cut of beef you get is perfectly finished that takes a fine balancing act of art and science to combine our cattle genetics, their age and the proper grass maturity
Sustainable
1903. That’s the year our family started ranching here. Before the Forest Service. Before most of the neighbors. Our lands have improved over the years with careful stewardship and love. Our cattle and land respond to our care. The neighbors often comment on how beautiful the ranch or our cattle look. Feels good.
Beyond Organic
We haven’t jumped through the government hoops to be “certified organic”. We think that’s an unnecessary cost with silliness that makes no sense. We invite any customer to come a take a look at what we are doing with our land and our cattle. Henry and I stopped any fossil fuel or chemical use on our home ranch in 2002. Most of the ranches we lease are either native ranges or the owners agree with our philosophy and let us manage their property with the same ethic of no fossil fuel inputs. We make our own compost that we apply to our fields and we graze the cattle to accumulate the appropriate amount of manure that we then work in the spring.
Humane
We love our cattle. Our horses and our dogs. And our Kitties. Silly we know, but we do. We attended a joint workshop many years back with Temple Grandin. We have since read much of her philosophies and agree with her.
Customer Relationships
Whatever you need, we try to provide. Whether it is a specific cut of beef for a special event, or a delivery place, talk to us. We are not a corporate retail outlet, we truly are just us, the Giacomini’s selling the delicious beef we and our customers love one package at a time.
Buy Local
We encourage you to call or email with an order. If you buy from us, versus a Midwest box of beef, you support a local family, who in turn hires local people, who in turn spend money at the local grocery store, gas station and maybe your local business. Ask where your food comes from if you don’t buy from us. It’s important. We also offer eggs, vegetables and more. Just give us a call and ask.
Convenient Payment Options
Now you can pay using PayPal! Once you submit your order, and we have it packed up and ready to deliver or ship, I will create an invoice using PayPal. They will send you the invoice and you can pay using either your PayPal account or a credit card right off of the invoice that will be emailed to you! How convenient is that?

Select cuts of beef will now be available at Country Organics new store in Redding.
Country Organics hours are Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. They are closed Saturday and Sunday.. Bob and Mandy’s store is located at 915 Merchant Street, # 5 (across from the Churn Creek Post Office). Look for the sandwich board out on Churn Creek that says, “local, grass finished beef for sale”. Then follow the signs!

We also may be able to arrange to deliver custom orders there so folks can go by and pick them up at their convenience.
