Pederson's Ground Beef Review: Built for the Freezer
One ratio, one format, sold specifically to be portioned across your freezer. Here's who that works for.
Our Take
Pederson's keeps things simple, one ratio (85/15), one format: three individually sealed 1lb packages sold together. It's organic, grass-fed, Whole30 approved, and made in the USA, the sourcing checks every box, it just doesn't give you Verde Farms' choice of lean ratios.
The 3-pack format is a real advantage if you already know you want to stock the freezer, each package is separate rather than one large block you'd have to portion yourself. If you just want to try a single pound before committing to a brand, it's a less convenient entry point than a single-package competitor.
The Basics
USDA Organic, 100% grass-fed, 85/15, Whole30 approved, made in the USA. See our full ground beef guide for storage and thawing detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Pederson's only sell a 3-pack, not a single 1lb?
It's built around freezer use from the start, each of the three 1lb packages is individually sealed, use one now and freeze the other two rather than portioning a single larger package yourself. If you only want to try a small amount before committing, this isn't the easiest entry point.
Is 85/15 the only ratio Pederson's offers?
On Amazon, yes, this is their one ground beef listing. If you want a choice of lean ratios, Verde Farms is the better pick; if 85/15 suits your cooking already, Pederson's organic certification and USA sourcing are a solid match.
Is Pederson's organic certification meaningful alongside grass-fed?
Yes, USDA Organic verifies the feed and land management separately from the grass-fed claim itself, a stronger combined standard than either claim alone.
