Warm weather is now here, bringing with it the grilling season. So, imagine the pleasure of sitting down to a grilled steak of Aged, All Natural Grain-Fed Beef from Walnut Hills Farm, Tennessee.

Our All-Natural Beef comes from beef cattle raised on Tennessee pastures free of herbicides, pesticides and similar chemicals. Our Walnut Hills 'beef cattle have never had vaccines, antibiotics, or steroids! These standards are part of USDA requirements for organic beef.

From weaning until harvest cattle are given plenty of hay, water and locally ground grains. We believe the beef of grain-fed cattle has a flavor and texture far superior to that of grass or range-fed cattle.

How is Walnut Hills All-Natural Beef aged?

After harvest, the beef is refrigerated at a controlled temperature and humidity for about three weeks. This aging process results in a delicious combination of flavor and natural tenderizing.

Beef processing facilities are USDA approved; however the processor we work with has an actual USDA inspector on site that has inspects the beef prior to final packaging. All packages carry the USDA stamp.

Our beef would typically grade around "Select-Plus" and is double packed in clear plastic. The flavor and tenderness of Walnut Hills steaks compare favorably to what you might find in a high-end steakhouse, all the cuts have an incredible flavor.

As you know, aged all natural beef is not generally found in retail stores. Even so, our beef is priced much lower than you might expect! All natural ground beef sells for $4.99 to $6.99/lb and Steaks are generally not available, going to the up-scale Steak Houses in Nashville.

This year we are going to offer Walnut Hills' Aged All-Natural Beef a few different ways:

1) Sold by the pre-processed weight, (rail weight) including all costs, packaging and delivery. - $4.25/Lb

2) A collection of various cuts of Beef - $135, $265 and $385; see below for details.

3) Individual pieces as packaged, sold by the pound – Call for details

To contact, call or email us at:

We request a 10% deposit on all orders of $100 or more.

Beef will be available in May and December in 2007. We are taking orders for both times now. Beef is offered by availability as follows:

Quarter (1/2 Side) - 145 - 175 pounds

Half (Side) - 290 – 350 pounds

Hanging weight is the dressed weight (rail weight) which is determined before beef is processed (aged and cut). Please note that all numbers are only estimates. The actual yield for each quarter or side will vary. Individual results, including the number and size of each cut, depend on the size and structure of the animal, the individual order, and how portions are cut by the processor.

This means that on average a 300 pound side will yield about 250 pounds of meat in the freezer.
