Allegheny Grass Fed Cooperative

The Allegheny Grass-Fed Cooperative began with a desire to put control back in the hands ofsmall farmersand create stability in our food system. As farmers and citizens, we were troubled by the fact that just four companies control 85% of all beef production in the U.S. The fragility of that system became all too clear during COVID. We were also troubled by the environmental impact of conventional beef farming. We wondered… is this really the best we can do for our families, communities, and the land?We wanted to be part of a solution. So we banded together. The Allegheny Grass-Fed Cooperative is a collective of farmers in western Pennsylvania raising grass-fed beef for the benefit of all. We are land stewards. We farm for our customers, families, communities, animals, and the planet. The result isincredible beef and a better world. Rolling Hills Heritage Farms is based in Armstrong County and Butler County, PA. Ron utilizes regenerative farm practices to repair the land while providing healthy and wholesome grass-fed beef. Ron continuously strives to provide a good life for each of his animals while they bring the land back to a productive state without chemical inputs.  The result is better soil, better pasture, and a premium product. Michael is a regenerative farmer at Walnut Hill Farm in Mercer County where he and his family produce pasture-raised beef, lamb, pigs and poultry.
