Hoven Farms- Whole Beef - Deposit

Regular price $400.00

Hoven Farms use regenerative farming methods on our land to build up and rejuvenate our soils, raise healthy animals and grow better food for human beings.

We believe that grass-finished beef is amazing food and an amazing tool that is the only solution for solving climate change and desertification.  We have had scientists and filmmakers on our land looking, exploring what we do, and testing our soils.

Our Whole Beef is grass-fed, grass-finished, and certified organic. 

What is a whole beef?  A whole beef is all the meat on one beef, which is cut, wrapped, frozen, and delivered to Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and other locations

How your beef will be cut:

We use a CUTTING TEMPLATE for our beef.  After over 20 years of selling beef, we have found a cutting template that makes our customers very happy.  If you would like to make changes, please let us know WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER as a whole beef is completely customizable and can be cut any way you like.
