Hello, I'm Ken Drinnon, the 'K' and 'D' in KLD Farm. We've been raising Angus cattle on 82 acres in Ashland City, Tennessee for nearly 25 years. A Tennessee native, I was raised on a small dairy farm in Russellville, served in the Navy, and worked as a firefighter in Los Angeles before coming back to Tennessee to start KLD Farm. I believe in true free-range farming. You won't find animals suffering in cages or cramped stalls on my farm. My cattle graze in open pastures and are given absolutely no steroids, no growth hormones and no antibiotics of any kind. What you see is what you get — all natural grass-fed and grain-finished USDA inspected dry-aged beef, pure and simple. Our beef is dry-aged 14-18 days for superior quality and taste. We carry a full range of cuts from filet mignon and ribeye to oxtail, beef cheeks, and marrow bones. We also offer pastured pork sourced from Rittenberry Farms in Kentucky and chicken from Miller Chicken. Pre-order online and pick up at the farm, or find us at the Nashville Farmers Market.
My name’s Ken Drinnon. ATennessee native, I wasraised on a small dairy farmin Russellville. I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t tell you that, as a young man, I wanted to get away from farm life in the worst way, so I joined the service and ended up in Los Angeles, where I settled in, became a fireman… and a family man. I enjoyed living on the west coast, but as my children left the nest and retirement drew near, I wanted to be closer to my family, so I decided to return to my home state, and KLD Farm was born. I’ve beenraising cattle here since I moved back in 1993. You’ll find my smallfamily-operated farmnestled on82 lush green acresof land along Turnipseed Road in Ashland City, Tennessee – part of the Petway Community, which is just a stone’s throw from downtown Nashville. I also lease an additional 60 acres of adjacent land toassure my cattle always have plenty of room to roam Our farm is a small family farm. My help is my Daughter, Son-in- law and Grandchildren. The beef comes from our farm. Our Pork, Chicken, and Eggs are sourced from other local farmers. The Farmers that I source from are as follows. Pork: Detweiler Meats, Crofton Kentucky Chicken: Miller Poultry Eggs: Kentucky Farm Fresh. (Isaac Stoltzfus) Herndon Kentucky The eggs are from a group of Amish in Kentucky. I raise Tennessee cattle and use absolutelyno steroids, no growth hormones and no antibioticsof any kind. My cattle are never penned up but arealways free to roam the farm with plentiful access to clean water, natural grass and hay. They pretty much have run of the place – just ask my granddaughter Hanna, who often helps wrangle up the most stubborn ones when they need to be inspected or rotated to another pasture. To ensure asuperior quality beef, my cattle are grass-fed and grain-finished, which marbleizes the meat for adistinctly heartier, richer taste. They will be about 16-18 months old at slaughter and weigh between 1200 and 1400 pounds. The beef is then dry-aged 14-18 days to make it even moretender and flavorful. All of my beef isUSDA-inspectedandI personally guarantee your satisfaction.
