Grayson Natural Farm

Independence, Virginia (Pure Angus cattle, grass-fed & grass-finished)

Grayson county, home of Grayson Natural, hosts one of the more breathtaking scenes in our state and boasts rolling hills at elevation, offering the ideal setting for cattle husbandry. A pure Angus breed roams freely along this picturesque countryside, taking advantage of lush, protein-rich grasses that thrive in the climate. The team at Grayson Natural has been in partnership with us since our shop opened, and the consistency from animal to animal is striking, due in part to the long-employed nature of farming practices and the closed-loop cow-calf model. Long loins, short and strong legs, and stout shoulders mark these gorgeous animals, and bright and creamy fatcaps meet deeply-colored muscle, finely flecked with abundant intramuscular lipid deposits. Grayson beef is ultimately tender and offers sweet, nutty flavors which are exemplified through dry-aging. Our longstanding partnership with the fine folks at Grayson Natural personifies a well-trod relationship path, which only widens as the years pass; this kind of honest farming sets the bar for grass-finished cattle operations across the US.
