Kentucky Grass Fed Beef

I have always been intrigued by the potential for grass fed beef both on a national level but in particular in Kentucky. Kentucky is the largest beef producer east of the Mississippi River and lies below the snow belt which makes it well suited for year round grass fed beef production . Grass fed beef is healthier than many other forms of beef being rich in protein and high in vitamins and Omega 3 fatty acids . It is also a more environmentally friendly way to raise cattle .

A good source to learn about grass fed beef is www.eatwild.com .

Two producers of grass fed beef in Kentucky include :
