Great Heritage Farm is a trusted source for truly grass-fed and finished beef in Minnesota. We raise our cattle with care, integrity, and the conviction that nutrient-dense food begins with the soil. As a regenerative family farm, we believe in transparency, stewardship, and reconnecting people to the land through the food they eat.
Why Grass-Fed Beef?
Grass-fed beef is a return to how cattle were meant to live: grazing on pasture, moving with the seasons, and living low-stress lives. Research shows that grass-fed beef has measurable health benefits for you and the planet:
- Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
- More antioxidants and vitamins, like Vitamin E and beta-carotene.
- Lower in total fat and calories, compared to grain-fed beef.

How We Raise Our Cattle
At Great Heritage Farm, our cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. That means:
- No grain. Ever.
- No synthetic hormones or routine antibiotics.
- Rotational grazing on pasture for optimal soil health and animal well-being.
- Grazed right here in Minnesota.
We believe every part of our process matters. That’s why we steward our land using regenerative practices—building topsoil, sequestering carbon, and increasing biodiversity, all while raising wholesome, delicious beef.
What Does It Taste Like?
Our grass-fed beef has rich, full flavor and excellent texture—nourishment you can taste. Customers often tell us it’s the best beef they’ve ever had. The slower growth and natural diet create meat that’s:
- Juicy
- Tender
- Naturally flavorful
This is the beef your grandparents would recognize—raised with respect and integrity.
