Grass Fed and Finished Beef Round
100% Grassfed, Grass Finished Beef
Greenacres produces 100% grassfed, grass finished beef in the Cincinnati area. Our cattle spend their entire lives roaming outdoors, eating fresh, living pasture during the growing season and high quality hay in the winter, a diet that suits their natural digestive processes making for healthy, happy cows. Our beef is always 100% grassfed and grass finished producing the highest quality product, with superior nutritional properties.

The Greenacres Difference
- 100% grassfed and grass finished, never fed grain
- Free to roam on pasture from birth to harvest day
- No unnecessary antibiotics
- Low stress calf weaning
- Staff who love our animals
- Butchers chosen with animal welfare in mind
- Cattle rotated quickly through pasture
- Without confinement, manure fertilizes grasses and improves the soil
- Healthy soil sequesters carbon, holds rainwater
- Higher Omega 3 and lower Omega 6 fatty acids (anti-inflammatory)
- Fuller phytonutrient profile, including vitamins A and E (Learn More)
- Lower overall fat content
Versus Grain-Finished Beef
- Fed grain, especially in the last few months of life
- Commonly confined in feedlots for some or all of their lives
- Animals are often under stress
- Large amounts of waste concentrated in small areas
- Confined cattle compact soil and prevent water absorption
- Pollution of soil and waterways
- Lower Omega 3 and higher Omega 6 fatty acids (inflammatory)
- Lacking phytonutrients
- Higher overall fat content

A Responsible Protein Choice
How does Greenacres beef compare to plant-based "meat alternatives"? Ingredients used to produce these products (soy, peas, seed oils, rice, etc) are grown in huge, industrial agricultural operations that tend to specialize in and grow only one crop, a practice known as 'monocropping'. Monocrop agriculture can harm the environment in many ways; compacting and degrading soils, using large quantities of pesticides and herbicides, polluting water, and harming biodiversity. Monocropped soils are often devoid of the lifeforms you'd find in healthy soils, like bacteria, invertebrates, insects, and fungi.
Raising cattle on pasture actually improves the environment, improving both the quality and quantity of soil biology, sequestering carbon and building biodiversity. If you're looking for responsible protein choice, look no further than 100% grassfed, grass-finished beef.
Superior Genetics
For over 30 years, Greenacres has been developing a line of Angus genetics that perform superior in grass based systems. Our farmers are constantly improving our herd; introducing genetic traits that make our cows finish better on grass, while our researchers study the farming practices that make products with better nutritional properties. This collaborative effort between farmers and scientists creates beef with superior flavor, texture, and nutritional properties. When it comes to beef that is better for you and tastes good, there is no substitute to Greenacres grass-fed, grass-finished.

Echinacea, the sweetest ewe in our flock, gave birth to triplet lambs over the weekend!Lamb triplets are fairly rare and this is the first time it's happened at Greenacres. Ewes only have 2 teats, making it hard for a momma to feed 3 at once. Thankfully another ewe who had a single baby is also feeding one of the triplets. The livestock team will keep a close eye on all three to make sure everyone gets enough to eat.
It was an all-hands effort to plant brassicas in our Ley field at the start of May! The beds had been resting under a thick tarp for a few weeks, which terminated last year's cover crop and helped warm the soil. We added several inches of compost from our onsite compost facility, and gently worked it into the top few inches of soil with a power harrow. Our brassica seedlings are now happily growing - look for this broccolini, cabbage, kohlrabi and kale to be in our farmstore later this season!
Our "Ask a Farmer" plant and flower sale event is this Saturday 9-1 at our Farmstore! We have veggie, herb and flower plants, and gorgeous cut flower bouquets for Mom. Our garden staff will be on hand to answer questions! All our plants and flowers are grown from seed on our farm, following organic practices. 🌱🌸
Ohio Native Plant Month is almost over, but we're still appreciating the plants that make our region beautiful! We're quite fond of Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) as it is a great understory shrub that can be used to replace invasive honeysuckle. They produce red berries in the fall that are a great food source for migrating song birds.
Earth Day is about celebrating and acknowledging every creature and the habitats they call home. Our staff lives this mentality. Earlier this month, our Research Assistant Chad, found a spotted salamander egg mass while working in our wetland.. a sign of clean, healthy water. The state amphibian of Ohio, spotted salamanders lay up to 100 eggs in a jelly-like clump in a pool of water. The eggs hatch in a month or so, and the juvenile salamanders live in the water for several months before losing their gills and moving onto land. Amphibians like salamanders need clean water to reproduce, another reason we work hard to protect and monitor our waterways. Happy Earth Day! 🌎

The Grand Tent is up and we are ready for the start of a busy 2022 event season. Looking forward to hosting you at the Arts Center soon!

Students from Oyler School visited our Indian Hill location recently - this class had the opportunity to observe our routine cattle vaccinations and they were able to touch the side of one of our bulls. This kind of hands-on education happens all year round here at Greenacres - if your class or homeschool group would like to learn more about our educational programming visit our website to learn more.
