Eel River Organic Beef is located in the remote North West corner of California in the Eel River Valley surrounded by lush green sub-irrigated pastures and giant Redwood trees. Because of our mild climate with an average yearly temp of 54.5 degrees F and average rainfall of 38 inches per year, our grass fed beef graze on lush green pastures year ’round. Eel River Organic Beef is proud to boast that we raise the finest and healthiest beef available.
Because we meet their strict standards and are certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and we don’t depend on outside feed sources, our consumer is assured 100% confidence in the freshness and quality of our Certified Organic Beef. You can bet that you get what you pay for when shopping with us. We adhere to each and every guideline as set forth by CCOF and the USDA National Organic Programs.
To meet organic certification standards, all cattle must remain and graze on certified pastures, and must not be given any antibiotics, growth hormones, feed additives, or animal bi-products beginning as early as the 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
Our cattle graze on approximately 50,000 acres in and around the beautiful Eel River Valley in Humboldt County of Northern California. Our cattle are always given plenty of open space, fresh air, and clean water. We have found that by allowing the cattle plenty of room to roam with an abundance of fresh grass to graze on, and by keeping stress to a minimum, we have been able to eliminate many of the problems conventional ranches face, and therefore eliminating the need for antibiotics and growth hormones in the cattle we raise. Bottom line . . . our beef cattle are naturally healthy.
Unlike conventional cattle and many organic cattle, our cattle remain on certified organic pastures their entire life, never being placed in feedlots for finishing, before they are harvested. By setting these high grass-fed standards, we can assure you that you, the consumer, are receiving the highest quality, healthiest grass-fed product available. Our cattle never leave the sub-irrigated clover and rye grass pastures they are accustomed to. Also, these pastures allow us to finish a high quality grass-finished product that is a pleasure to eat and healthy, all at the same time.
