A Simple Farm with a Simpler Philosophy Year round, Adena Farms’ rolling pastures can be found full of roaming and grazing cattle. We are home of healthy, natural, chemical-free practices; incorporating regenerative agricultural farming to preserve our ecosystem and rich biodiversity. We are also committed to producing the highest standard of premium beef with an unparalleled taste. Our commitment is to guarantee the highest standard of best practices and the highest standard of flavor without compromise. While the phrase “farm to table” is tossed around a lot these days, to us it’s not just a figure of speech. Whether raised on our farm or our partner farm, our cattle are raised with the same high standards, harvested right at Adena Farms, and then shipped directly to you. Lineage, birth record, feeding program, health, and genealogy are recorded to ensure full traceability. Our cattle live on an all-natural diet from nursing naturally to grazing and foraging naturally in our year-round open pastures. Never fed grain or corn. Our cattle graze freely in the pastures year-round. Natural environment with fresh air, natural sunlight and real cowboys. Our facility at Adena Farms is designed to capture and reuse resources while lowering consumption of energy and utilities. Because we have complete control and traceability from our farm to your table, we are able to guarantee our high standards of quality. It Starts with Putting Our Animals First We do everything possible to avoid causing pain and putting stress on our animals, while providing them with the most natural chemical-free environment. Guided by the principles and philosophies of animal welfare expert Temple Grandin, we have incorporated low-stress handling and care practices of our animals. We elevated the standards even more by creating our own Charter of Animal Rights. Our Charter holds us to the highest ethical and moral standards, guiding our ranch hands, veterinarians, and cowboys to employ the best management practices possible. Every animal has the right to fresh air, clean water, natural daylight and its own natural habitat. Our cattle graze in wide open pastures year-round, eating fresh grass on rolling hills among spring-fed ponds and trees that provide shade. Every animal has the right to natural food (grass), free from pesticides. Our cattle are nursed naturally by their mothers and once weaned, they are 100% grass-fed and finished year-round in open pastures. Every animal has the right to grow at its natural rate without being administered growth hormones and sub-therapeutic antibiotics. We believe our animals have the right to live and grow to maturity and we will not harvest calves. Every animal has the right to an appropriate amount of space in which to live and roam freely. At Adena Farms, we go above and beyond the minimum space requirements established by the top animal welfare certification programs. Every animal has the right to carry out their natural behaviors and deserves human respect, care and empathy. We have incorporated low-stress handling and care practices of our animals; guiding our ranch hands, veterinarians, and cowboys to employ the best care and welfare practices possible. Natural Feed Makes for Natural Beef Our cattle are naturally nursed by their mothers, once weaned, they roam and graze freely year-round and feed and forage on our open pastures. We provide them with thousands of acres of open pastures; one quarter of which is preserved as forests and wetlands, creating a natural and undisturbed habitat for many native species. Our cattle are naturally fed from birth, 100% Grass-fed and finished, meaning we are certified by the American Grassfed Association (AGA) that our cattle do not ever see a feedlot. Our cattle have been given a Step 4 rating by the global non-profit organi
