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, our dogs, and
our chickens. 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 (local only). Just give us a
call and ask.
Convenient
Payment Options
