Hearst Ranch Beef
Grass-fed and grass-finished beef from the Hearst family's Central Coast rangeland, since 1865
About This Supplier
Hearst Ranch Beef comes from cattle raised on roughly 150,000 acres of native grassland on California's Central Coast, split between the Hearst Ranch at San Simeon and the Jack Ranch at Cholame. The ranch describes its beef as "Grass-Fed & Grass Finished" and "always hormone and antibiotic free." There is no direct online store; the beef is sold through select California Whole Foods stores and restaurants, and supply is seasonal.
Full Profile
The Hearst family has run cattle on this stretch of the Central Coast since 1865, and the land is managed for the grassland as much as the herd, with well-timed grazing used to keep the coastal prairie and inland terraces in good condition. Hearst Ranch calls itself the nation's largest single-source supplier of grass-fed beef and sells it as 100% grass-fed and grass finished, with no added hormones or antibiotics. The current website is informational only, with no online store, so the beef is bought at select California Whole Foods locations and at restaurants that carry it.
Deliveries run seasonally rather than year-round, so availability varies. The ranch office can be reached at 805-927-4611.
