Grass-fed Beef: Rancher Spotlight 1

Eighteen years ago veterinarian Patricia Whisnant began raising grass-fed beef on their farm for personal consumption. Today, Rain Crow Ranch includes four ranches in the Southern-Missouri area that raise ten thousand head of Black Angus cattle. All cattle are 100% grass-fed and free-roaming. Dr. Whisnant is passionate about the grass-fed agricultural model, which she says is “better for the animals, better for the consumer, better for the land, and better for the family farms.” Her husband and six children are all involved in the family business. The Whisnants are recipients of Whole Foods Market’s Local Producer Loan Program, which is allowing them to bring more grass-fed beef to market.

Grass-fed beef from Rain Crow Ranch is available in our stores in central Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
