Grass-Fed Beef in Michigan: Where to Buy

Michigan's diverse agricultural regions, from the fruit belt along Lake Michigan to the rolling pastures of mid-Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, support a growing number of grass-fed beef operations. John Henry's Meats, family-run in Millington (the Thumb region) since 2007, raises 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef and ships across the US. Northstar Bison in neighboring Wisconsin ships to Michigan addresses, Seven Sons in Indiana reaches the state quickly, and Michigan's strong food co-op culture (especially in Ann Arbor, Traverse City, and the Upper Peninsula) provides excellent retail options beyond the national chains.
