Family owned & operated.

We are working together to create a better planet for future generations to come.
Every farm and ranch in our co-operative is family-owned. That means when you do business with us, you’re supporting small-scale, family agriculture.

Sustainable Ranching and Farming
Akaushi Beef.

Akaushi beef naturally contains intense marbling. It is generally recognized that fat is responsible for the palatability of beef, but it is actually the monounsaturated fat that is responsible for the flavor. The marbling in Akaushi beef contains a much higher percentage of monounsaturated fat than any other beef in the United States. As a result, Akaushi beef has a rich buttery flavor as well as juiciness and tenderness throughout.

Humane animal treatment.

Our cattle thrive on a natural forage grazing system, which emphasizes humane herd health, humane handling, and stringent adherence to GAP standards both in the field, and at our processing facility.
