Grass Fed Natural Beef in Arizona - Welcome To Date Creek Ranch
What is Grass Fed Beef? Know Your Food!
Back to Pasture. Date Creek Ranch of Arizona pastures its beef instead of the mainstream feedlot process. Since 2000, several thousand ranchers and farmers across the United States and Canada have stopped sending their animals to the feedlots. Instead, they are keeping the animals home on the range and feeding them food that is as close as possible to their native diets. This is good for the animals, good for local economy, and good for the environment. Local food movement supporters agree.
Date Creek Ranch is a working cattle ranch near Wickenburg Arizona thats over 120 years old, and currently owned and run by the Knight family. Located twenty-two miles northwest of Wickenburg, off Highway US 93, on picturesque Date Creek, the ranch headquarters, first built in 1883, enjoys a riparian setting of cottonwoods and willow and home to a wide variety of wildlife. Prehistoric man once lived here, but little evidence is left of that occupation. The remains of Camp Date Creek, a territorial military outpost, are a few miles away. more...
We sell our natural pastured grass-fed beef directly to our customers by the quarter. Our pastured grass-fed beef is free of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and steroids and is more healthy for many reasons. Our cattle are happy because they are born and raised here on our beautiful desert ranch. Animals grazing native grasses are healthier and enjoy a better quality of life that is immeasurably better than those animals raised in confinement. more...
