ABOUT OUR BEEF
Locally Raised, 100% Grass Fed & Finished: From May – November our herd is rotated between 15 pesticide & herbicide free pastures that are planted with custom pasture mix specially formulated for 100% Grass Fed Cows. In the winter, we feed our steers hay grown on our farms.
Aged to Perfection: We spend the extra time and expense to properly dry age the meat (14 days verified) prior to butchering, in order to make sure the meat is exceptionally juicy, tender and flavorful.
Antibiotic & Hormone Free: Our herd is free from antibiotic treatments & hormone implants.
Healthier: While chowing down on Grass and Hay for 24-26 months, our cows accumulate tons of healthy nutrients, (Omega-3s, CLA, Vitamin E & B, and no bad fats (saturated & Omega-6s), which ultimately benefits you and your health.
Come & Visit: By Appt, receive a personal tour of our ranch.
Buying Direct From the Source & Save: By buying direct from us, we cut out the wholesalers, distributors and retailers, which saves you money, while getting our extremely high quality beef at roughly the same cost as the grocery mystery meat. In addition, buying our beef in bulk share packages, enables us to spread the cost across all cuts of beef, instead of just prime cuts.
Better Packaging: All cuts are packaged in high quality vacuum (cryovac) seal. Each cut is labeled with the name of the cut and weight. We have worked very hard with our butchers to ensure that the proper thickness (4 mil vs 3 mil ) of the cryovac packaging is used to reduce the chances of breakage during the storing of our meat in your freezer.

Prime Cut Meat
The best way to describe…..the taste of delicious healthy meat! Not only did we receive our fresh package delivered to our door…..We totally enjoyed each cut of meat in our sampler. They were individually sealed and perfect when ready to cook! Awesome product, healthy cows, beautiful ranch, family owned…..great combination!
Michele ~ Conshohocken, PA
AWESOME BEEF!!
This was our first time purchasing. We bought the sampler pack and could not be happier ! The meat is so fresh and the quality is nothing like I have ever tasted, so tender and flavorful. I will NEVER buy store meat again! I am hooked !
Linda ~ Hampton Twp, NJ
Holy Cow!!
How great it is to know where you food is coming from. Excellent quality. Delicious!!! Stefan was great in recommending the right cuts. Delivered to the house!!! So glad we ordered!!!
Nina ~ Devon, PA
best beef we’ve had
I purchased a quarter cow share from Stefan at Beaver Brook Ranch and it was clear the first day we ate it that it was the best beef I’ve ever had. He was kind enough to give us a tour of the ranch so we could see the cows and how they live and graze. Just happy, healthy cows eating grass the way nature intended them,and it’s very evident in the finished product. I’m very, very happy. Thank you, Geoff
Geoff ~ Linden, NJ
Nutrient dense meat from ab excellent resource
The ordering process and communicating with Stefan was a breeze. The meat was delivered to our home and very well packaged. The meat tastes delicious, it’s better than what I’ve ever tasted. This meat gives me energy and health benefits including better skin and sleep. Best experience. Thank you Stefan!!
Chaya ~ Suffern, NY
Happy Cows, Happy Customer
We are so pleased with the service, the packaging and the flavor and quality of the meat and cuts. My years long search is over. I would recommend Beaver Brook to anyone looking for humanely raised and local meat.
Andrea ~ Wayne, NJ
Great Beef!
We love our sample package! The meat had great taste. We will be ordering a 1/2 share soon with some family members.
Romina ~ Morganville, NJ
Great quality
This was our first time purchasing from Beaver Brook. From the moment we ordered until we received our delivery, they were great. I got updates on my order and constant contact regarding the delivery. Everything came prepackaged and frozen so it was easy to put in the freezer. We have gone through about half of our order and the quality has been great. We will definitely order again. Thanks!
Courtney ~ Hope, NJ
The beef tastes amazing
The beef tastes amazing and the owners are friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking for local high quality beef
Mike ~ Columbia, NJ
Enjoyed the beef
I enjoyed the freshness and no additives to the beef. I ‘m waiting on my nephews as we shared it among the family for more feedback. It’s nice to have a local family farm.
Margaret ~ Hope, NJ
Worth the Drive!
We have been looking for great quality grass fed beef and we finally found it at Beaver Brook Ranch! It’s a 2.5 hour drive for us to pick up but it’s well worth it and we enjoy sharing it with friends and family who have been very happy with it as well. We’ll definitely be ordering again – you can taste the difference! Not to mention that Stefan and his father and wonderfully helpful and even showed us around the ranch.
Emma ~ Cape May, NJ
Very happy with everything…
The process was very smooth from start to finish. From organizing the drop off and flexibility to picking out the cuts, the process was excellent. Stefan’s communication was impeccable. I definitely recommend Beaver Brook. We have had several pack of ground beef and two Porterhouses for Christmas dinner. The steaks were better than any steakhouse I’ve been to. Stefan even offers tips to cook your beef to perfection. I’ll definitely be back after we finish all of the meat.
Richard ~ Manahawkin, NJ
Amazing product
I picked up the 20 LB sampler pack directly from the farm before the holidays. This beef far exceeds anything that can be purchased at the supermarket or most local butchers. The color, texture and flavor are amazing. As soon as I can find enough room, I’ll be making another larger purchase.
Randy ~ Lavallette, NJ
Great!
We have eaten the ground beef from our sampler pack but have yet to try the steaks. We prefer to grill and it’s a little chilly
All good so far!
Carrie ~ Lafayette Hill, PA
Wow
I think my entire perspective on eating meat has changed.
I’ve wanted to shift to eating grass fed beef for many years, especially after reading the Pollan book. But the availability of locally raised meat seemed mysterious. I finally searched in earnest and came across Beaver Brook. I called Stefan and went out to the farm and met Helmut who walked me through the whole process. I visited the pastures (gorgeous and lush) and saw the work they’re doing to create a humane and high quality environment for the cattle. We talked about the problems with modern farming and what the diet and medications can do to the animals. I even talked at length with the butcher about the finishing process and what kind of options are available – they were really patient and accommodating with my curiosity. I was impressed and put in for a 1/2 share.
I couldn’t be happier. Every time we have a meal with the meat, I have never, EVER felt better after eating it. It’s kinda weird because I don’t feel like passing out on the couch. Or heavy and lethargic and bloated and borderline comatose. I honestly feel great. The taste is terrific and the diversity of cuts make for a lot of cooking options. I think I get it now and I’m not really that interested in any other kind of beef.
Josh ~ Montclair, NJ
Very good quality, tasty, worth it!
The meat is very tasty, the quality is excellent, because it’s grass fed you can easily see that the meat is less fatty. The packages are the right portion. I have been buying meat in different farms but this is the best I have ever tried. I highly recommend Beaver Brook Ranch.
Matilda ~ Braintree, MA
Very Good Beef
This is our first ever grass-fed ranch experience. I am a health/fitness professional and was looking for a healthy source of grass-fed beef for my family for the health benefits. This is it. First of all, the cuts of meat are beautiful. You are not going to believe how RED this meat is! It makes the grocery store beef look sort of sad and anemic by comparison. This is probably what beef is supposed to look like… Secondly, our family did a side-by-side taste comparison of the sirloin steak with the equivalent grocery store cut (on the grill, with garlic salt and pepper) and the flavor on the Beaver Brook steak was noticeably better. Not only that, but working with Stefan, who promptly and pleasantly answered all my questions along the way was great. Good experience all around- looking forward to enjoying all that beef!
Kristen ~ Hamilton, NJ
Everything was Excellent
It’s my first time having ordered from Beaver Brook Ranch and I have to say I am extremely satisfied with my order…the flavor of the meat is really amazing compared to what you buy in the supermarket…I will definitely be reordering when my supply gets low.
Gerard ~ Sparta, NJ
Best taste!
Some of the best tasting beef me and my huge family has ever had.
You definitely can’t go wrong in comparison to flavor of store bought meat.
Worth the extra price if you’re looking for quality.
Herbert ~ NYC, NY
Great Beef
Had a nice tour of the farm. Beef was delivered frozen, labeled and vacuum sealed. Much better then what you get in the stores. Will be getting more.
Davis ~ Bangor, PA
Wonderful!
We have really enjoyed our grass fed beef from Beaver Brook Ranch. The ordering process was easy, and the owner even offered to drive our order down to our area and meet us at a convenient location. The beef has been delicious and it has been fun to try cooking cuts that we don’t typically buy at the store.
Beverly ~ Wayne, PA
Really Good
The meat has been really good. The minute steaks are the best I’ve ever had. Will be ordering from you again.
Felix ~ Bloomfield, NJ
First Time Buyer
Stefan was great to deal with he answered all my questions before I placed my order. Tour of the ranch was great. Every cut of beef we have tried has been excellent. Very tender and the flavor is outstanding. Thanks
Gerald ~ Dunellen, NJ
The way beef is supposed to taste
I forgot how good beef is supposed to taste until I ordered and tasted this grass fed beef. Super Beefy Flavor, just enough fat content and easy to cook. Thoroughly enjoyable and Stefan was great. We will be back soon
Michael ~ Albrightsville, PA
Thank You for my recent order
My wife Amanda and I are beyond happy and satisfied with our grass-fed beef we ordered recently. The taste and tenderness of the steaks were immediately noticeable better than the beef we’ve been buying from grocery stores. The email communication was great and free delivery to my area. We will definitely buy from Beaver Brook Ranch again.
Bennie ~ Lafayette, NJ
That was what I needed
On time, to the word it was promised. Excellent meat. Did not try yet the sandwich meat, but expecting to be as good as the rest of the package.
Barbara ~ Hackettstown, NJ
Delicious!
From meeting Stefan and visiting the Ranch to his Dad dropping of my order, the entire process was effortless! That was Mother’s day weekend and now coming off Father’s day, my 1/4 share of beef is down to less than 50%. Hopefully we will make it to July 4th before placing another order!
Excellent Beef and Value
I cannot say enough about the ease and excellence of deal with Beaver Brook Ranch. If you are in the market for a variety of grass fed dry aged beef then their shares of a cow are right for you. The ordering was easy, communication around timing and delivery was perfect. The beef is fresh and extremely high quality. The taste is excellent. I recommend Beaver Brook for sure.
Chris ~ Bethlehem, PA
Awesome Beef
We are very happy with our order! At first we didn’t think we would eat all of the ground beef. Then we started making Korean lettuce wraps , wow they are so good! Steaks are great ! I can’t buy this quality in the store.
Thank you,
Charlie ~ Basking Ridge, NJ
Delighted
So far, we have had hamburgers, cooked low and slow, which were delicious. My usual meatloaf recipe, which turned out the best ever! The flat iron steak, marinated and broiled, which was excellent. Tonight we are having a t-bone steak. Can’t wait! Overall, the meat is so good. We are delighted!
S.S. ~ Madison, NJ
Far superior
Stefan and family do a superb job of delivering a quality far beyond expectations. Meat is perfectly aged and butchered in neat, vacuum sealed bags. We let the butcher decide our cuts and were not disappointed!
The ground meat makes excellent chili, burgers or meatloaf far above anything you’ll find in a supermarket or buying club. Steaks are perfectly trimmed and ready to go right after defrosting, just add salt and pepper. We’ve smoked a couple of the bigger cuts and find the meat is far tastier with no need to add much in the way of spices or sauces.
Few things to note if you’ve never bought bigger portions or dry aged before: The meat loses some weight during the dry aging process (read: you get less) but gains flavor and texture well worth a few ounces. Also, don’t overcook or use high heat, this stuff is the real deal and the quality is noticeable. Take your time and enjoy the aroma of cooking real, grass fed beef.
A must for anyone concerned about their food. The family has lengthy experience raising animals. Now if they only sold the perfect wine to go with it….
Anthony ~ Tinton Falls, NJ
Very Pleased
I am very pleased with the quality, taste, wrapping of your product, I talk to people about it all the time
Lisa Mota ~ Hardwick, NJ
Absolutely Wonderful
Everything was absolutely wonderful. We are very happy with the meat and your service is outstanding. The dogs thank you kindly for all the bones as well! Looking forward to placing more orders and would love to know once you start doing pigs as well
Elena ~ Hamburg, NJ
First order but it won’t be our last
I searched for a long time before settling on a farm to purchase grass fed beef from and so far we are very happy with the meat we received from Beaver Brook. We wanted a smaller, local family farm that took pride in their work. Stefan was great to work with and always answered any questions we had. We will definitely be ordering from them again.
Pete ~ Flemington, NJ
Grass Fed Beef
After careful thought I decided to try a healthier side of purchasing beef . I’m glad I did that only is it healthier for my family and I but also surprisingly delicious and tasty .Beaver Brook ranch does an excellent job in packaging and setting up purchasing and a pick up of their product and I would recommend it to anybody.
Joseph ~ Milford, PA
First timer for grass fed
First timer for grass fed beef…the color is deep, meat is fresh. I now get grossed out by supermarket meats…i feel better too. I recently opened my eyes to what is used in mass producing….thanks Beaver Brook!
Donna ~ Blairstown, NJ
Highly recommended
So happy we made the switch to farm raised beef. Stefan at Beaver Brook Ranch has made the process seamless. We are extremely satisfied with their service as well as the excellent beef they produce. We highly recommend Beaver Brook!
Sarah ~ Oxford, NJ
One Very Satisfied Customer
I am very pleased with my 1/4 share. Stefan and his father Helmut were awesome to deal with. They answered all my questions regarding what the standard packaging quantities and thickness of the cuts would typically be VS custom. I’m glad I went with the standard. The thickness of the steaks were perfect and the 1 lb packages of chop meat were just right for us. I thought the color and texture of the meat looked so much fresher than store bought. I also like that the meat is verified to be hung a full two weeks. That was one of my deciding factors along with being grass feed that made me choose Beaver Brook Ranch. Everything we tried was was very flavorful and satisfying. One of the first things I noticed is how well the boxes are labled and the quality of the vaccuum packaging. Much better than what I have seen elsewhere. I’m already contiplating my next order, but this time I think I’m going for a 1/2 !
Again, I am very satisfied and would recommend you give them a try.
Enjoy!
Joe ~ Wantage, NJ
Beeflicious
My son-in-law recommended me to Beaver Brook Ranch to get the best tasting beef, not only as a treat to enjoy on my taste buds, but also to treat my body to a healthier food source. It has been a wonderful experience to do business with Stefan, owner of the ranch. He is very friendly, an excellent communicator and eager to please his customers. From the first contact ordering our 1/4 share, it gave me the pleasure that I did the right thing in getting the best beef available. The process from placing my order to picking up my share was just a matter of getting it processed by the butcher, which when picking it up was nicely boxed in vacuum sealed packages. All I had to do was to make my initial deposit and wait for an email saying, your share is ready to be picked up. I understand they also provide delivery service.
On the day of pickup, I took my wife and our two very young granddaughters, which were about the same age as Stefan’s 2 little girls and they became instant friends. Stefan took all of us in his vehicle and gave us a private tour of his farm. We even took a nice video of a young calf that was born only a few weeks ago. I am now an advocate of purchasing all of my beef from his ranch instead of from the supermarket. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking into the possibility of making a purchase to make the decision which will not be regretted. We are enjoying the best tasting beef. Go get yours!!!
Alphons ~ Blairstown, NJ
Customer service beyond compare
While most are aware that grass-fed beef is the healthiest, dry-aged beef is the tastiest. Combine grass-fed, dry-aged beef and Beaver Brook Ranch’s exceptional customer service and it’s a win-win situation.
Carol ~ Newton, NJ
Grass Fed beef is the best!
When I first received my order (1/4 share in December), my wife rolled her eyes thinking that we really don’t need that much beef. But we never had Grass Fed beef before! The ground beef is so lean, I can make jerky in my dehydrator and there’s not a pool of grease. Now, she’s enjoying having a freezer full and won’t let me buy beef from the supermarket anymore. A win for me!
Jim ~ White Twp, NJ
Outstanding!!!
Never having grass fed beef before, I did an internet search, found Beaver Brook Ranch. Read some reviews, took a chance and ordered a 1/4 share. Couldn’t be happier, the meat is fantastic, Stefan’s communication throughout the time from placing the order to delivery was excellent, even delivery time was very accurate. When my 1/4 share runs low, I’ll be ordering a 1/2 share for sure. Thank You Stefan
Chris ~ Whitehouse Station, NJ
My first of MANY purchases to come!
I learned about Beaver Brook from a friend and was definitely intrigued. But I had never bought in bulk like this or even a 1/4 cow! Every part of this was incredible! First learning about the various cuts and working with the Farm to determine how I would like my cuts (in case you are interested, I like thick steaks, prepare bone out sirloin and ground beef instead of beef cubes). I received such an incredible amount of wonderful meat! The delivery was smooth, easy and friendly. But MOST importantly, it is sooo delicious! Everything else would have fallen away if this wasn’t the best beef I have tasted. It will take me awhile to make my way through this but I am already planning when to get back on the list for my next order. I suggest you do the same.
John ~ Morristown, NJ
Great beef!
The beef we purchased from Beaver Brook Ranch had great flavor and came vacuum sealed in manageable portions for my family. All I had to do was make room in my freezer! I haven’t had to purchase any beef for months! We are very satisfied with the entire experience, Stefan was very easy to deal with and the beef tastes amazing. Thank you!
Amy ~ Hope, NJ
Above and Beyond!
My son and I recently had to give up corn and all products with corn in them! This has been no easy feat as I have found out corn seems to sneak it’s way into everything! I was going crazy trying to find safe beef 100 percent grass fed that was safe for us including the processing of the animal. All while needing to know the animals are treated with love and kindness. When I spoke with Stefan about my concerns he was willing to listen and explain all about his cattle, how they were raised, their feed, and how they are processed. I had a ton of questions and he genuinely wanted to give me answers and double and triple check to ensure our allergy safety!
He gave me his cell number and we were in contact many times before finally purchasing a beef share. He went above and beyond to ensure our safety regarding our allergy and also followed up to see how we tolerated the beef and make sure we were happy with the product! The beef was also like no other that I have tasted, it was great! I have recommended Stefan and his farm to numerous friends and family already and will continue to do so.
If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Stefan, he really cares and will take the time you need to make sure you are happy with your purchase. The delivery option was also awesome! The guys arrived on time, were so nice and helped bring the boxes to my freezer!
We will be a lifelong customer!
Rachel ~ Newton, NJ
YUM!!
For those who have never had truly fresh beef… this is the place to go. You’ll never buy in a store again.
Sarah ~ Belvidere, NJ
100% satisfied!!
I have purchased organic meat from other companies before, but non compare with the quality and customer service provided by Beaver Brook Ranch. You have earned a lifetime customer. THANK YOU Stefan and family!
S.Higgins ~ Bloomingdale, NJ
Couldn’t be more pleased
The process of ordering & receiving our share (delivery) was seamless. We were thrilled with the amount of beef we received as well as the quality. Delicious!!! Our family asks for it for dinner over & over. We will definitely be ordering again! Thank you Stefan & Beaver Brook Ranch!
Kathy ~ Long Valley, NJ
OUTSTANDING
Everyone in my family loved it.
It was just AMAZING
John ~ Bethlehem, PA
Farm to table
First off, Stefan was super helpful, answered all my questions and was very transparent.
Quality of the beef is awesome, slightly different taste as it’s a grassfed grass finished product. Peace of mind that I know where my food is coming from and is local.
I picked up a 1/4 share and its a lot of meat for a family of 3 (well, two adults and toddler). You do get a lot of ground beef, so get creative with meals. There a ton of cuts that I wouldn’t normally buy because of fear of preparing it but it helps open my culinary skills at home to at least give it a shot.
Stefan also gave me a tour of the ranch, got a cool cowboy hat also!
Highly recommend Beaver Brook Ranch. Great prices, local to NJ, PA and NY.
Pat ~ Kenilworth, NJ
Eating like a King
First time buying and many thanks to Stefan for showing me around the ranch. Meat all looks fantastic. Tried the short ribs recipe that is on the web site and it came out tender and fantastic. Looking forward to many great meals from our 1/4 share.
Steve ~ Manalapan, NJ
100% Quality
First of all ..Thank you for coming to our little town and providing such quality beef!!
We were very pleased with the steaks so juicy and melted in your mouth!! And the chuck roast was full of flavor. Got a lot of compliments!! The owner Helmut and his granddaughter delivered the 1/2 that I ordered and even put it in my freezer for me!!
Patty ~ Hope, NJ
Great resource!
The product and entire process was an absolute pleasure! For those who value true grass fed beef and all the health benefits that go with it, you will not be disappointed with Beaver Brook. I am grateful for having such a valuable resource so close to home. I recommend Beaver Brook without reservation.
Walt ~ Frelinghuysen, NJ
Great decision!

About Our Pork
About Our Pork
PASTURE & WOODLAND RAISED
Our small herd (passel) of mixed heritage breed (Berkshire, Duroc and Yorkshire) pigs have 15 acres (2 pigs per acre) of pastures, and woods to roam, forage, root and graze. If you’ve done your own research, you will acknowledge, this is about as unconventional as raising cows solely on grass. Our pigs are also antibiotic free and of course hormone free.
NON GMO, NO CORN
Its very difficult to put weight on pigs, in a meaningful way, solely on pasture and foraging. Therefore, we spent 6 months working with animal nutritionists to custom formulate a healthy NON GMO, NO CORN Hog Diet. The diet consists of Barley ( excellent source of Fiber, B Vitamins), Field Peas (Protein), Oats (Fiber and Protein), and Roasted Beans (Fiber, Antioxidants, Vit K, Protein). Formulating a hog diet with out corn is about as radical as it gets, in the hog farming world. Most hog farmers and feed mills laughed at the idea, and but we finally found a small custom mill that would make our diet. Our custom formulated diet costs about 3x the amount of conventional GMO,corn based diets, but we think its worth the extra cost!
WHY NO – NITRATES?
The majority of smoked ham and bacon in the US contain Nitrates, which are added by Manufacturers to give them color and to prolong their shelf life. When added to processed foods in this way, both nitrates and nitrites can form nitrosamines in the body, which are a known carcinogen/cancer causing agent. Its almost 60% more expensive to smoke meat with No-Nitrates, but we think its worth the extra cost. We simply use salt to smoke our meats.
SUGAR FREE
Our smoked ham, bacon or Sausages are all Sugar Free (except the bratwurst).
Beaver Brook Ranch has agreements with our local gourmet butchers to Dry Age our 100% Grass Fed Beef for 14 days.
There are numerous studies that prove the benefits of Dry Aging. One study went as far as saying the tenderness and juiciness of beef aged for 14 days compared to non-aged beef or even aged for 7 days, was incomparable.
Dry Aging Process:
Up to 50 years ago, dry aged beef was the norm, then with the advent of increased efficiencies in beef processing and transportation, lost the dry aging process. Dry-aging beef is essentially allowing whole or primal cuts of beef to hang in a humidity controlled environment with a constant flow of air in temperatures between 34 -36 degrees for an extended period of time.
The greatest activity of enzyme is within the first 7 days of aging, and by 14 days the greatest gains in tenderness will have been achieved during aging.
Length of Aging:
We choose to age our beef, 14 days for a variety of reasons. The first, when reviewing the literature on Dry Aging, in our opinion, there are small benefits in tenderness and juiciness in aging beef beyond 14 days. In addition, 100% Grass Fed Beef has a different fat structure and fatty acid composition (Omega-3 dominant) then corn/grain fed beef which contain higher levels of Omega-6 fatty acids which are more stable, but can have very negative health benefits if consumed in high amounts. Some studies have postulated that the fatty acid composition of 100% Grass Fed Beef are more in line with a piece of 100% wild caught salmon then a cow raised in a feedlot mainly eating corn and other grains.
Benefits of Dry Aging:
There are numerous studies that prove the benefits of Dry Aging. One study went as far as saying the tenderness and juiciness of beef aged for 14 days compared to non-aged beef or even aged for 7 days, was incomparable.
Tenderization: During the dry aging process, the natural enzymes in the beef work to break down tougher muscles and connective tissues and produce a more tender piece of meat. Relative to this, Warren and Kastner found that dry aging for 11 days resulted in tenderness scores that were significantly higher than the unaged controls. A scoring system, called the WBSF values for ribeyes and sirloins, proved Steaks dry aged for 14 days significantly improved in sensory tenderness compared to those dry aged 7 days
Concentration of flavor: As much as 15% of the water in the meat is lost in 14 days of Aging. As the moisture is lost, flavor is concentrated. Dry aged beef is typically described as having a beefy, buttery rich, nutty, and/or earthy flavor profile. During the dry aging process, the juices are absorbed into the meat and chemical breakdown of protein and fat constituents occurs, resulting in a more intense nutty and beefy flavor.
Juiciness: Studies have found that there is an improvement in juiciness during dry aging. Steaks were significantly juicier after 14 d, compared to non-aged or aged 7 days. Sensory results showed that many panelists preferred dry aged meat; dry-aged steaks were scored higher than wet aged steaks for juiciness.
Increased flavor complexity: As fat begins to oxidize and multiple enzymatic and bacterial actions occur. Similar to what happens with wine or cheese.
You can feed your family healthy premium, Dry Aged 100% Grass Fed Beef from our local ranch, at roughly the same cost as buying the mystery meat at the grocery store.
Buying Direct: By buying direct from us, we cut out the wholesalers, distributors and retailers, which saves you money, while getting our extremely high quality beef at roughly the same cost as the grocery mystery meat.
Share Package: Buying our beef in share packages, enables us to spread the cost across all cuts of beef, instead of just prime cuts. If you average the cost across all of the cuts you receive in a share package, the difference between our high quality Dry Aged 100% Grass Fed & Finished Beef is minimal compared to the mystery meat at the grocery store.
If the cost of grocery store “feedlot” beef is between $5-6lb for ground beef to $15-20/lb for prime cuts, the average cost is arguably $9-10 depending on your preference of cut. The retail cost per lb of our 1/4 share package is $9.47, so not much of a difference. A standard 1/4 share package contains 65 lbs of Dry Aged prime steaks and roasts and 30 lbs of perfected ground beef.

How Much Freezer Space Is Need?
1 cu ft = 12″ x 12″ x 12″ (think a little smaller then a milk carton)
1/8 Beef Share (50lbs) / Half Pork Share (50 lbs) = 1.75 cu ft (2 milk crates)
1/4 Beef Share (100lbs) / Full Pork Share (100 lbs) = 3.5 cu ft

Grass-fed beef is better for human health than grain-fed beef in ten different ways, according to the most comprehensive analysis to date. The 2009 study was a joint effort between the USDA and researchers at Clemson University in South Carolina. Compared with grain-fed beef, grass-fed beef was:
Lower in total fat
Higher in beta-carotene
Higher in vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol)
Higher in the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin
Higher in the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium
Higher in total omega-3s
A healthier ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (1.65 vs 4.84)
Higher in CLA (cis-9 trans-11), a potential cancer fighter
Higher in vaccenic acid (which can be transformed into CLA)
Lower in the saturated fats linked with heart disease
Grass-fed Beef Clearly Superior, Says New German and Canadian study
Yet another study shows that grass-fed meat is nutritionally superior to feedlot meat. This newest study examined the differences in fat content between four breeds of cattle that were either 1) raised on pasture or 2) given grain and other feedstuff in a feedlot.
As in previous research, the results showed that meat from cattle raised on pasture had much healthier fats. The researchers concluded that grass-fed meat is “clearly superior” and “remarkably beneficial.” They stated that grass-fed meat “should be promoted as an important part of a healthy balanced diet.” Read the study summary.
(Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, June 2008, 56:4775-4782.)
Meat, eggs, and dairy products from pastured animals are ideal for your health. Compared with commercial products, they offer you more “good” fats, and fewer “bad” fats. They are richer in antioxidants; including vitamins E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Furthermore, they do not contain traces of added hormones, antibiotics or other drugs.
Below is a summary of these important benefits. Following the summary is a list of news bulletins that provide additional reasons for finding a local provider of grass-fed food.
Summary of Important Health Benefits of Grassfed Meats, Eggs and Dairy
Lower in Fat and Calories. There are a number of nutritional differences between the meat of pasture-raised and feedlot-raised animals. To begin with, meat from grass-fed cattle, sheep, and bison is lower in total fat. If the meat is very lean, it can have one third as much fat as a similar cut from a grain-fed animal. In fact, as you can see by the graph below, grass-fed beef can have the same amount of fat as skinless chicken breast, wild deer, or elk.[1] Research shows that lean beef actually lowers your “bad” LDL cholesterol levels.[2]
Data from J. Animal Sci 80(5):1202-11.
Because meat from grass-fed animals is lower in fat than meat from grain-fed animals, it is also lower in calories. (Fat has 9 calories per gram, compared with only 4 calories for protein and carbohydrates. The greater the fat content, the greater the number of calories.) As an example, a 6-ounce steak from a grass-finished steer can have 100 fewer calories than a 6-ounce steak from a grain-fed steer. If you eat a typical amount of beef (66.5 pounds a year), switching to lean grassfed beef will save you 17,733 calories a year—without requiring any willpower or change in your eating habits. If everything else in your diet remains constant, you’ll lose about six pounds a year. If all Americans switched to grassfed meat, our national epidemic of obesity might diminish.
In the past few years, producers of grass-fed beef have been looking for ways to increase the amount of marbling in the meat so that consumers will have a more familiar product. But even these fatter cuts of grass-fed beef are lower in fat and calories than beef from grain-fed cattle.
Extra Omega-3s. Meat from grass-fed animals has two to four times more omega-3 fatty acids than meat from grain- fed animals. Omega-3s are called “good fats” because they play a vital role in every cell and system in your body. For example, of all the fats, they are the most heart-friendly. People who have ample amounts of omega-3s in their diet are less likely to have high blood pressure or an irregular heartbeat. Remarkably, they are 50 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.[3] Omega-3s are essential for your brain as well. People with a diet rich in omega-3s are less likely to suffer from depression, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder (hyperactivity), or Alzheimer’s disease.[4]
Another benefit of omega-3s is that they may reduce your risk of cancer. In animal studies, these essential fats have slowed the growth of a wide array of cancers and also kept them from spreading.[5] Although the human research is in its infancy, researchers have shown that omega-3s can slow or even reverse the extreme weight loss that accompanies advanced cancer and also hasten recovery from surgery.[6,7]
Omega-3s are most abundant in seafood and certain nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds and walnuts, but they are also found in animals raised on pasture. The reason is simple. Omega-3s are formed in the chloroplasts of green leaves and algae. Sixty percent of the fatty acids in grass are omega-3s. When cattle are taken off omega-3 rich grass and shipped to a feedlot to be fattened on omega-3 poor grain, they begin losing their store of this beneficial fat. Each day that an animal spends in the feedlot, its supply of omega-3s is diminished.[8] The graph below illustrates this steady decline.
Data from: J Animal Sci (1993) 71(8):2079-88.
When chickens are housed indoors and deprived of greens, their meat and eggs also become artificially low in omega-3s. Eggs from pastured hens can contain as much as 10 times more omega-3s than eggs from factory hens.[9]
It has been estimated that only 40 percent of Americans consume an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids. Twenty percent have blood levels so low that they cannot be detected.[10] Switching to the meat, milk, and dairy products of grass-fed animals is one way to restore this vital nutrient to your diet.
The CLA Bonus. Meat and dairy products from grass-fed ruminants are the richest known source of another type of good fat called “conjugated linoleic acid” or CLA. When ruminants are raised on fresh pasture alone, their products contain from three to five times more CLA than products from animals fed conventional diets.[11] (A steak from the most marbled grass-fed animals will have the most CLA ,as much of the CLA is stored in fat cells.)
CLA may be one of our most potent defenses against cancer. In laboratory animals, a very small percentage of CLA—a mere 0.1 percent of total calories—greatly reduced tumor growth. [12] There is new evidence that CLA may also reduce cancer risk in humans. In a Finnish study, women who had the highest levels of CLA in their diet, had a 60 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those with the lowest levels. Switching from grain-fed to grassfed meat and dairy products places women in this lowest risk category.13 Researcher Tilak Dhiman from Utah State University estimates that you may be able to lower your risk of cancer simply by eating the following grassfed products each day: one glass of whole milk, one ounce of cheese, and one serving of meat. You would have to eat five times that amount of grain-fed meat and dairy products to get the same level of protection.
Vitamin E. In addition to being higher in omega-3s and CLA, meat from grassfed animals is also higher in vitamin E. The graph below shows vitamin E levels in meat from: 1) feedlot cattle, 2) feedlot cattle given high doses of synthetic vitamin E (1,000 IU per day), and 3) cattle raised on fresh pasture with no added supplements. The meat from the pastured cattle is four times higher in vitamin E than the meat from the feedlot cattle and, interestingly, almost twice as high as the meat from the feedlot cattle given vitamin E supplements. [14#] In humans, vitamin E is linked with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer. This potent antioxidant may also have anti-aging properties. Most Americans are deficient in vitamin E.

Nutrient dense meat from ab excellent resource
The ordering process and communicating with Stefan was a breeze. The meat was delivered to our home and very well packaged. The meat tastes delicious, it’s better than what I’ve ever tasted. This meat gives me energy and health benefits including better skin and sleep. Best experience. Thank you Stefan!!
Chaya ~ Suffern, NY
Great quality
This was our first time purchasing from Beaver Brook. From the moment we ordered until we received our delivery, they were great. I got updates on my order and constant contact regarding the delivery. Everything came prepackaged and frozen so it was easy to put in the freezer. We have gone through about half of our order and the quality has been great. We will definitely order again. Thanks!
Courtney ~ Hope, NJ
Wow
I think my entire perspective on eating meat has changed.
I’ve wanted to shift to eating grass fed beef for many years, especially after reading the Pollan book. But the availability of locally raised meat seemed mysterious. I finally searched in earnest and came across Beaver Brook. I called Stefan and went out to the farm and met Helmut who walked me through the whole process. I visited the pastures (gorgeous and lush) and saw the work they’re doing to create a humane and high quality environment for the cattle. We talked about the problems with modern farming and what the diet and medications can do to the animals. I even talked at length with the butcher about the finishing process and what kind of options are available – they were really patient and accommodating with my curiosity. I was impressed and put in for a 1/2 share.
I couldn’t be happier. Every time we have a meal with the meat, I have never, EVER felt better after eating it. It’s kinda weird because I don’t feel like passing out on the couch. Or heavy and lethargic and bloated and borderline comatose. I honestly feel great. The taste is terrific and the diversity of cuts make for a lot of cooking options. I think I get it now and I’m not really that interested in any other kind of beef.
Josh ~ Montclair, NJ
Very good quality, tasty, worth it!
The meat is very tasty, the quality is excellent, because it’s grass fed you can easily see that the meat is less fatty. The packages are the right portion. I have been buying meat in different farms but this is the best I have ever tried. I highly recommend Beaver Brook Ranch.
Matilda ~ Braintree, MA
Everything was Excellent
It’s my first time having ordered from Beaver Brook Ranch and I have to say I am extremely satisfied with my order…the flavor of the meat is really amazing compared to what you buy in the supermarket…I will definitely be reordering when my supply gets low.
Gerard ~ Sparta, NJ
Wonderful!
We have really enjoyed our grass fed beef from Beaver Brook Ranch. The ordering process was easy, and the owner even offered to drive our order down to our area and meet us at a convenient location. The beef has been delicious and it has been fun to try cooking cuts that we don’t typically buy at the store.
Beverly ~ Wayne, PA
That was what I needed
On time, to the word it was promised. Excellent meat. Did not try yet the sandwich meat, but expecting to be as good as the rest of the package.
Barbara ~ Hackettstown, NJ
Very Pleased
I am very pleased with the quality, taste, wrapping of your product, I talk to people about it all the time
Lisa Mota ~ Hardwick, NJ
Absolutely Wonderful
Everything was absolutely wonderful. We are very happy with the meat and your service is outstanding. The dogs thank you kindly for all the bones as well! Looking forward to placing more orders and would love to know once you start doing pigs as well
Elena ~ Hamburg, NJ
First order but it won’t be our last
I searched for a long time before settling on a farm to purchase grass fed beef from and so far we are very happy with the meat we received from Beaver Brook. We wanted a smaller, local family farm that took pride in their work. Stefan was great to work with and always answered any questions we had. We will definitely be ordering from them again.
Pete ~ Flemington, NJ
Grass Fed Beef
After careful thought I decided to try a healthier side of purchasing beef . I’m glad I did that only is it healthier for my family and I but also surprisingly delicious and tasty .Beaver Brook ranch does an excellent job in packaging and setting up purchasing and a pick up of their product and I would recommend it to anybody.
Joseph ~ Milford, PA
First timer for grass fed
First timer for grass fed beef…the color is deep, meat is fresh. I now get grossed out by supermarket meats…i feel better too. I recently opened my eyes to what is used in mass producing….thanks Beaver Brook!
Donna ~ Blairstown, NJ
Highly recommended
So happy we made the switch to farm raised beef. Stefan at Beaver Brook Ranch has made the process seamless. We are extremely satisfied with their service as well as the excellent beef they produce. We highly recommend Beaver Brook!
Sarah ~ Oxford, NJ
One Very Satisfied Customer
I am very pleased with my 1/4 share. Stefan and his father Helmut were awesome to deal with. They answered all my questions regarding what the standard packaging quantities and thickness of the cuts would typically be VS custom. I’m glad I went with the standard. The thickness of the steaks were perfect and the 1 lb packages of chop meat were just right for us. I thought the color and texture of the meat looked so much fresher than store bought. I also like that the meat is verified to be hung a full two weeks. That was one of my deciding factors along with being grass feed that made me choose Beaver Brook Ranch. Everything we tried was was very flavorful and satisfying. One of the first things I noticed is how well the boxes are labled and the quality of the vaccuum packaging. Much better than what I have seen elsewhere. I’m already contiplating my next order, but this time I think I’m going for a 1/2 !
Again, I am very satisfied and would recommend you give them a try.
Enjoy!
Joe ~ Wantage, NJ
Beeflicious
My son-in-law recommended me to Beaver Brook Ranch to get the best tasting beef, not only as a treat to enjoy on my taste buds, but also to treat my body to a healthier food source. It has been a wonderful experience to do business with Stefan, owner of the ranch. He is very friendly, an excellent communicator and eager to please his customers. From the first contact ordering our 1/4 share, it gave me the pleasure that I did the right thing in getting the best beef available. The process from placing my order to picking up my share was just a matter of getting it processed by the butcher, which when picking it up was nicely boxed in vacuum sealed packages. All I had to do was to make my initial deposit and wait for an email saying, your share is ready to be picked up. I understand they also provide delivery service.
On the day of pickup, I took my wife and our two very young granddaughters, which were about the same age as Stefan’s 2 little girls and they became instant friends. Stefan took all of us in his vehicle and gave us a private tour of his farm. We even took a nice video of a young calf that was born only a few weeks ago. I am now an advocate of purchasing all of my beef from his ranch instead of from the supermarket. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking into the possibility of making a purchase to make the decision which will not be regretted. We are enjoying the best tasting beef. Go get yours!!!
Alphons ~ Blairstown, NJ
Customer service beyond compare
While most are aware that grass-fed beef is the healthiest, dry-aged beef is the tastiest. Combine grass-fed, dry-aged beef and Beaver Brook Ranch’s exceptional customer service and it’s a win-win situation.
Carol ~ Newton, NJ
Grass Fed beef is the best!
When I first received my order (1/4 share in December), my wife rolled her eyes thinking that we really don’t need that much beef. But we never had Grass Fed beef before! The ground beef is so lean, I can make jerky in my dehydrator and there’s not a pool of grease. Now, she’s enjoying having a freezer full and won’t let me buy beef from the supermarket anymore. A win for me!
Jim ~ White Twp, NJ
Outstanding!!!
Never having grass fed beef before, I did an internet search, found Beaver Brook Ranch. Read some reviews, took a chance and ordered a 1/4 share. Couldn’t be happier, the meat is fantastic, Stefan’s communication throughout the time from placing the order to delivery was excellent, even delivery time was very accurate. When my 1/4 share runs low, I’ll be ordering a 1/2 share for sure. Thank You Stefan
Chris ~ Whitehouse Station, NJ
My first of MANY purchases to come!
I learned about Beaver Brook from a friend and was definitely intrigued. But I had never bought in bulk like this or even a 1/4 cow! Every part of this was incredible! First learning about the various cuts and working with the Farm to determine how I would like my cuts (in case you are interested, I like thick steaks, prepare bone out sirloin and ground beef instead of beef cubes). I received such an incredible amount of wonderful meat! The delivery was smooth, easy and friendly. But MOST importantly, it is sooo delicious! Everything else would have fallen away if this wasn’t the best beef I have tasted. It will take me awhile to make my way through this but I am already planning when to get back on the list for my next order. I suggest you do the same.
John ~ Morristown, NJ
Great beef!
The beef we purchased from Beaver Brook Ranch had great flavor and came vacuum sealed in manageable portions for my family. All I had to do was make room in my freezer! I haven’t had to purchase any beef for months! We are very satisfied with the entire experience, Stefan was very easy to deal with and the beef tastes amazing. Thank you!
Amy ~ Hope, NJ
Above and Beyond!
My son and I recently had to give up corn and all products with corn in them! This has been no easy feat as I have found out corn seems to sneak it’s way into everything! I was going crazy trying to find safe beef 100 percent grass fed that was safe for us including the processing of the animal. All while needing to know the animals are treated with love and kindness. When I spoke with Stefan about my concerns he was willing to listen and explain all about his cattle, how they were raised, their feed, and how they are processed. I had a ton of questions and he genuinely wanted to give me answers and double and triple check to ensure our allergy safety!
He gave me his cell number and we were in contact many times before finally purchasing a beef share. He went above and beyond to ensure our safety regarding our allergy and also followed up to see how we tolerated the beef and make sure we were happy with the product! The beef was also like no other that I have tasted, it was great! I have recommended Stefan and his farm to numerous friends and family already and will continue to do so.
If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Stefan, he really cares and will take the time you need to make sure you are happy with your purchase. The delivery option was also awesome! The guys arrived on time, were so nice and helped bring the boxes to my freezer!
We will be a lifelong customer!
Rachel ~ Newton, NJ
YUM!!
For those who have never had truly fresh beef… this is the place to go. You’ll never buy in a store again.
Sarah ~ Belvidere, NJ
100% satisfied!!
I have purchased organic meat from other companies before, but non compare with the quality and customer service provided by Beaver Brook Ranch. You have earned a lifetime customer. THANK YOU Stefan and family!
S.Higgins ~ Bloomingdale, NJ
Couldn’t be more pleased
The process of ordering & receiving our share (delivery) was seamless. We were thrilled with the amount of beef we received as well as the quality. Delicious!!! Our family asks for it for dinner over & over. We will definitely be ordering again! Thank you Stefan & Beaver Brook Ranch!
Kathy ~ Long Valley, NJ
OUTSTANDING
Everyone in my family loved it.
It was just AMAZING
John ~ Bethlehem, PA
Farm to table
First off, Stefan was super helpful, answered all my questions and was very transparent.
Quality of the beef is awesome, slightly different taste as it’s a grassfed grass finished product. Peace of mind that I know where my food is coming from and is local.
I picked up a 1/4 share and its a lot of meat for a family of 3 (well, two adults and toddler). You do get a lot of ground beef, so get creative with meals. There a ton of cuts that I wouldn’t normally buy because of fear of preparing it but it helps open my culinary skills at home to at least give it a shot.
Stefan also gave me a tour of the ranch, got a cool cowboy hat also!
Highly recommend Beaver Brook Ranch. Great prices, local to NJ, PA and NY.
Pat ~ Kenilworth, NJ
Eating like a King
First time buying and many thanks to Stefan for showing me around the ranch. Meat all looks fantastic. Tried the short ribs recipe that is on the web site and it came out tender and fantastic. Looking forward to many great meals from our 1/4 share.
Steve ~ Manalapan, NJ
100% Quality
First of all ..Thank you for coming to our little town and providing such quality beef!!
We were very pleased with the steaks so juicy and melted in your mouth!! And the chuck roast was full of flavor. Got a lot of compliments!! The owner Helmut and his granddaughter delivered the 1/2 that I ordered and even put it in my freezer for me!!
Patty ~ Hope, NJ
Great resource!
The product and entire process was an absolute pleasure! For those who value true grass fed beef and all the health benefits that go with it, you will not be disappointed with Beaver Brook. I am grateful for having such a valuable resource so close to home. I recommend Beaver Brook without reservation.
Walt ~ Frelinghuysen, NJ
Great decision!
We are so happy with our order. The meat was packaged so well and every cut we have prepared so far has been beyond delicious.
We are so glad we placed our order.
