Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is your beef USDA certified?

Yes.

 

What is the ratio of your ground beef?

80/20

 

Is your beef “grass fed”?

Our beef is grass fed and grain finished for approximately 90 days.  We do accept pre orders for 100% grass fed products.

 

Is your beef antibiotic free?

Yes.  Although we do use antibiotics to treat sick animals on the farm, these animals are not harvested under the “Rapidan Beef” brand.

 

Is your beef hormone free?

Yes.

 

Is your beef “organic”?  

Our farm has not yet gone through the process with the FDA to be certified “organic”, however our process is the same and would qualify.

 

Is your beef “all natural”?

Yes, our cattle qualify as “all natural”.  

 

Is your beef “non-GMO”?

Our cattle are not “Genetically Modified Organisms”, so in that regard yes.  However, the corn we feed our cattle has been modified to resist drought and blight, just as over 90% of the corn grown and fed to American livestock has been modified.  If you prefer pre-ordering “grass-fed”, that product would meet the literal definition of “non-GMO”.

 

Are your cattle fed any animal bi-products?

No.

 

Do you offer wholesale pricing for restaurant use?

Yes.  Please email us with your specific needs and we are happy to work with you to make Rapidan Beef a staple on your menu!

 

Are you available in stores?

We are currently available at Maybelle’s Market in Greene County, VA and The Market at Wintergreen in Nelson County, VA.  Other stores are in the process of coming online in the next few months.
