Genesis Beef:

Local Yocal owners Matthew & Heather Hamilton started raising grass fed cattle in 2009 as a step of faith away from corporate jobs and into an industry they were passionate about and felt called to, feeding families quality food from a source they could trust.  Our cattle are healthy, happy animals who enjoy grazing on pasture on the Hamilton family farm in Coleman, Oklahoma (20 miles north of Durant).  We never administer growth promoting agents or routine antibiotics.  The animals have a grass and hay based diet and receive a very nominal legume based fiber and protein supplement of cotton seed meal and peanut hulls during months of reduced forage quality.  There is no grain in their ration.

Sloans Creek Heritage Meats:

Pasture raised pork, grass-fed beef, lamb and goat.  Nathan & Ellen Melson pasture raise heritage breed livestock on their farm in Dodd City, Texas.  They are committed to raising animals as our Creator intended – hormone and antibiotic free, on pasture, with a feeding program that meets their design.  Cattle, sheep and goats eat grass, other forage like hay or alfalfa pellets.   Hogs are pastured on soil and grass where they can root around, wallow in the mud, and compliment there grain based diet as they see fit with grass, roots, bugs, and worms.  They receive a grain ration as part of their diet because they are omnivores and, unlike our ruminant herbivores, they require grain to maintain optimal health.

Kruse Farms & Melissa Feeders:

Prime, All-Natural Wagyu Beef.  Right in Melissa, Texas, our Local Yocal investment partners are raising and finishing Wagyu cattle.  Wagyu (famously known as Kobe beef) is the Japanese word for Beef Cattle.  This breed produces a very high end, heavily marbled beef with the unique qualities that yield health benefits and unsurpassed tenderness.  The cattle raised by these purveyors is free of growth stimulants and routine antibiotics, locally raised and finished in an independently owned feed yard where they eat a diet of hay, vegetable slurry (recycled from local grocers) and a mixed grain ration consisting of only 20% of their diet.

Veldhuizen Farmstead Cheeses:

Fine artisan raw milk cheese. The style of cheese we make is considered farmstead raw milk artisan cheese. Farmstead means the whole process is done on our farm near Dublin, Texas. From raising the cows to wrapping and shipping the cheese to you, we handle it all. Raw milk means our milk is neither pasteurized nor homogenized. Some heating is necessary in the cheese-making process – to create the curds which become the cheese – but we never heat our milk above the temperature that it naturally comes out of the cow. It’s the traditional way cheeses have been made for centuries. Artisan means our cheese is made in small batches with the cheesemaker’s very own hands. The cheese is given plenty of care and attention, unlike mass-produced cheese that is created by pushing a series of buttons on large machines. Artisans don’t use artificial ingredients, flavor additives, or preservatives. We use expertise, experience, and heart. We work on farms and small creameries, not giant production plants and automated factories. We make original, authentic cheese.
