Meet the Farmer Behind Our New Ground Beefalo Local meat. Real stories. Good food. We’re always on the lookout for farmers who are doing things right—raising animals with care, staying rooted in their land, and working hard to provide a better life for their families and communities. Our newest partner,Gatlin Orr of GH Beefalo in Perry, MO, fits that perfectly. Gatlin is a young farmer with a simple but powerful dream:to live off the land, raise good animals, and provide for his daughter. He’s doing exactly that—working hard every day to grow his own feed, care for his animals, and build a life centered around family and farming. Gatlin raisesbeefalo, a unique cross between beef cattle and American bison. It’s about⅛ bison and ⅞ beef, which is just the right mix to give the meat a richer, slightly sweeter flavor,without tasting gamey or wild. It still cooks just like ground beef but with less fat, more protein, and added nutrients like iron and B12. His animals aregrass-fed for most of their lives, then finished ona mix of homegrown corn and hayduring the last two months. Everything is raised right there on his farm—no shortcuts, no fluff. Just honest, local food from a farmer who’s all in. We’re proud to offer Gatlin’s Ground Beefaloin our farm store. It’s: Packed with protein, iron, and B vitamins Raised without hormones or antibiotics And most importantly—raised by someone you can feel good about supporting This isn’t your average ground meat. It’s local. It’s unique. And it’s a small way to support a big dream. Come try it this Saturday from 10–2 at Benoit Family Farmstead and taste the difference for yourself.
