Canoe Lake Farm

Our Grass-fed Angus and Angus-Hereford crosses are born and raised on our farm in Clarke County: locally grown and pasture-raised. Our meat is locally USDA inspected and shrink-wrapped by the meat processing facility of the University of Georgia. Unfortunately, we have already sold out for 2012. Your cost is $3.60/lb hanging weight; once cut and trimmed, this will be approx $5.00/lb of shrink-wrapped meat; we pay all processing fees. For a quarter, you will get an estimated 90 lbs of meat (total est. cost $450), made up of cuts of your choosing. An example of what to expect from a quarter of beef is listed below.  Remember, each animal is unique; therefore the final weights and number of each cut will reflect this variability. If interested or if you have questions please call (706-338-8052) or email us.

Soup bones/dog bones available upon request.

******************************************

For the cow, there's nothing more natural than grass, certainly not corn or manufactured grain products! The appropriate balance of omega fatty acids comes from eating green leafy plants.  Scientists have determined that if the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids exceeds 5:1, people develop more health problems (heart disease, stroke, and cancer, for example).  Grain-fed beef can have ratios above 15:1 and grassfed beef is down around 1:1. It may seem hard to believe (given the years of education we all received to avoid red meat) but grassfed beef is good for you and your heart, delivering the same omega-3 fats as wild salmon. Our grass-fed beef tastes every bit as good as beef from any feedlot, grainfed cow and our cows enjoy their lifestyle - acres and acres of pasture! Our meat is moderately marbled, but with the right fat: less saturated fat and more healthy omega-3 polyunsaturated fat. Tender and juicy!
