Why Supporting Small Farms Matters More Than Ever

In today’s world of big-box stores and next-day shipping, it’s easy to forget where our food truly comes from. But behind every small farm is a family — one that wakes up before sunrise, works in every season, and pours heart and soul into feeding their community.

At Herd 77, that’s exactly what we do. We’re a family-owned & operated farm that raises beef the way it should be raised — with care, patience, and respect for both the land and the animal. Every package of beef you order directly supports our family and helps keep small farming alive for the next generation.

The Heart Behind Every Order

When you buy from a small farm, your purchase goes far beyond the product itself. You’re helping cover feed bills, supporting local processors, and keeping rural communities strong. Every order that comes through our site isn’t just a number — it’s a real person, a real family, and a real “thank you” moment on our end.

Quality You Can Taste — and Trust

We believe beef should taste good and feel good to buy. Our animals are raised on open pastures, finished with care, and processed in small batches to ensure quality from start to finish. The difference shows up in every bite — rich flavor, tenderness, and the comfort of knowing exactly where your food comes from.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

Over the past few years, small farms across the country have faced challenges like rising costs, supply chain issues, and market consolidation. By choosing to buy directly from farms like ours, you’re helping to keep independent agriculture alive and thriving. It’s a simple choice that makes a huge impact — one that ensures your dollars stay local and your food remains honest.

This Holiday Season, Choose Small

As you shop for gifts and plan your holiday meals, we hope you’ll consider choosing small. Every roast, steak, or beef box from Herd 77 comes with more than great taste — it comes with our gratitude. Thank you for continuing to believe in small farms like ours.
