Tired of the Same Old Beef from the Store?

To the customer who is sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, we hear you. The beef you find in grocery stores often leaves much to be desired: poor color, off-putting smell, and a taste that just doesn’t compare. Not to mention the health concerns. You know something’s not quite right, and you’re looking for a better alternative.

At Faithway Cattle, we provide pasture-raised beef that is miles apart from the bland, factory-farmed beef that fills supermarket shelves. Here’s why you’ll never go back to store-bought again.

The Difference Is Clear: Color, Smell, and Taste

When you take a bite of our farm-direct beef, it’s immediately obvious that it’s not the same as the meat you get at the store. Store beef is often dull in color, lacks richness in flavor, and can have an unpleasant odor. Why? Because it often comes from feedlot animals that are raised in unnatural conditions, often with grain-based diets that don’t align with the cow's natural digestion.

Our beef, on the other hand, is raised on open pastures, where the cattle graze on fresh grass, as nature intended. This produces meat that is richer in flavor, more tender, and packed with nutrients. It’s beef you can taste the difference in – because it’s raised the right way.

Why Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Matters

It’s not just about flavor—it’s about health, sustainability, and ethics. Pasture-raised beef is better for your health, better for the animals, and better for the environment. Our cattle are raised on healthy pastures, not confined in overcrowded feedlots. This means less stress for the animals and more nutritious beef for you and your family.

At Faithway Cattle, we do feed supplemental grain, but only during the last few months before processing. Unlike industrial feedlots, where cattle are confined to small spaces and fed low-quality grains for their entire lives, our cattle are always out on pasture, grazing freely and living in a natural environment.

We use supplemental grain for a short period—just three months before processing—to help enhance the flavor and marbling of the beef in a way that we and our customers truly appreciate. This practice helps to achieve that perfect balance of tenderness and richness without compromising the integrity of our beef. Our cattle still have free-choice access to pasture during this final phase, ensuring they maintain their natural diet alongside the supplemental grain.

When you buy from Faithway Cattle, you’re supporting sustainable farming practices that nourish both the land and the animals. You’re choosing high-quality beef that’s raised ethically, with care and attention, and you're taking control of the food you feed your family.

Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food

Ever wondered where your grocery store beef comes from? More than likely, it’s a mix of beef from many different cows from different countries and regions, with no way of knowing what their lives were like or how they were raised.

When you buy directly from us at Faithway Cattle, you know exactly where your beef comes from. We pride ourselves on transparency. Each pack of our ground beef, for example, comes from one single cow—raised right here on our farm with love and care.

With small-scale, direct-to-you farms, you get to know your farmer and, more importantly, you know the practices that went into producing your food. You deserve that peace of mind.

Plan Ahead, Save More, and Invest in Better Beef

We know it’s easy to grab whatever beef is on sale at the grocery store, but what if you could plan ahead and invest in better quality meat that benefits you long-term? While store-bought beef may seem cheaper upfront, it often comes with hidden costs—poor health, unsatisfying meals, and the environmental toll of industrial farming.

Farm-direct beef from Faithway Cattle is an investment in your health, your family’s nutrition, and a more sustainable future. Our beef is raised ethically on pasture, ensuring better quality and more flavor.

One of the smartest ways to save on this premium beef is by buying in bulk. Whether it’s a quarter, half, or whole cow, purchasing larger quantities lowers the cost per pound and ensures you always have high-quality beef ready when you need it. Plus, it’s more convenient than making multiple trips to the grocery store, you can simply shop directly from your freezer right at home!

If you’re new to buying in bulk, don’t worry—we’ll help you navigate the process and find the right options for your family’s needs. Reach out to us today, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. 

Ready for a Change?

If you're tired of settling for the same old beef from the store, we have the solution you've been looking for. Farm-direct, pasture-raised beef from Faithway Cattle is the kind of beef that will make you rethink everything you knew about meat.

It’s time to make the change for your health, your family, and the planet.

The only way to know your food is to know your farmer.

Thank you for supporting Faithway Cattle.

Best regards,
The Faithway Cattle Team
