Whisper River Farms began when my wife, Sarah, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was affecting her gut health. We turned to nutrition and holistic practices to help her heal and started raising our own animals using regenerative practices, allowing them to graze on open pastures and eat a diet of nutrient-rich grasses. Our commitment to health and wellness extends beyond our products, as we are dedicated to educating our customers about the benefits of regenerative agriculture and the importance of nutrient-dense, whole foods.
At Whisper River Farms, we believe that food should not only taste good, but it should also be healing. That's why we offer grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, lamb, and chicken, all raised on our own land or sourced from like-minded, small-scale farmers. Our products are nutrient-dense and free from hormones, antibiotics, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the nutritional profile of grass-fed beef differ from grain-fed beef?
Grass-fed beef tends to have higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, such as vitamin A and E, compared to grain-fed beef. It also contains higher levels of antioxidants and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a healthy fat known to boost the immune system and potentially ward off certain diseases.
Are the cattle on your farm given any antibiotics, hormones, or other drugs?
No, our cattle are never given any antibiotics, hormones, or other drugs. We believe in raising our animals naturally, allowing them to grow at their own pace, and feeding them a balanced diet of grasses and forage, which helps maintain their overall health.
How does grass-fed beef contribute to my health, specifically in relation to anti-inflammatory diets?
Grass-fed beef is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains CLA, another type of fat that may help reduce inflammation and improve immune function. Incorporating grass-fed beef into your diet can complement an overall healthy, balanced diet aimed at reducing inflammation.
Do you use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, or fungicides?
No, we do not use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, or fungicides on our pastures.
Are there any specific health benefits associated with eating grass-fed beef as compared to regular beef?
In addition to being high in beneficial fats, grass-fed beef also tends to be leaner, providing less overall fat and calories compared to grain-fed beef. The high levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial fats can help support heart health, immune function, and potentially reduce the risk of certain diseases.
How does the diet and lifestyle of your cattle impact the quality and nutritional content of the beef?
Cattle that are grass-fed and allowed to roam freely tend to produce beef that's leaner, richer in nutrients, and more flavorful. A diet of natural grasses provides them with a balance of nutrients that is passed on to the meat. Plus, a stress-free lifestyle contributes to the overall quality of the beef, affecting its tenderness and flavor.
What measures do you take to ensure your cattle are stress-free? How does this impact the quality of the meat?
We take several measures to ensure our cattle lead stress-free lives. They have plenty of space to roam, ensuring they get enough exercise and live in a natural environment. We also feed them a natural diet of grass and forage. Stress can negatively impact the quality of meat, causing it to be tougher and less flavorful. By keeping our cattle stress-free, we ensure the beef is tender, flavorful, and high-quality.
Can you provide detailed information on the nutritional content (like protein, fat, vitamins, minerals) of your grass-fed beef?
Our grass-fed beef is rich in protein, providing about 22 grams per 3-ounce serving. It's also leaner, with about 5 grams of total fat and less saturated fat compared to conventional beef. Additionally, it's high in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B-vitamins, and it contains more omega-3 fatty acids and CLA compared to grain-fed beef.
Is your beef processed in any way or does it contain any additives or preservatives?
Our beef is processed minimally, simply being butchered and packaged for sale. It does not contain any additives or preservatives. We believe in providing you with the most natural, healthful product possible.
How does consuming grass-fed beef fit into a holistic approach to health and wellness?
Consuming grass-fed beef fits into a holistic approach to health and wellness by providing essential nutrients while also supporting ethical and sustainable farming practices. This kind of eating not only nourishes your body but also contributes to a healthier ecosystem, reflecting a truly holistic view of health.
