About This Supplier

Polyface Farm is Joel Salatin's well-known regenerative operation in Swoope, in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Cattle are raised as "100% Grass-fed," moved daily to fresh pasture the farm calls a "salad bar," on the principle that "cows are herbivores, not omnivores." Beef ships by UPS, is picked up at metro drop points, or bought at the farm store.

Full Profile

Polyface Farm, run by the Salatin family at 43 Pure Meadows Lane in Swoope, is one of the most widely cited names in regenerative grazing. Cattle are moved to fresh pasture, or "salad bars," on a daily rotation, and the farm's beef is "100% Grass-fed." Polyface's philosophy is explicit about finishing: cattle are herbivores and are never fed grain or animal byproducts at any stage. Beef and other pasture-raised meats are sold through the farm store, at metro pickup drops, and via UPS home delivery, which ships free on orders over $175; a Subscribe & Save option takes 5% off recurring orders.

Reach the farm at 540-885-3590.
