Our Philosophy

Brass Family Farm, nestled in Stillman Valley, Northern Illinois, is a family-managed farm dedicated to sustainable farming and the well-being of both the land and its animals. They emphasize healing the soil and raising animals with respect, believing that healthy soil leads to healthy animals and, ultimately, healthy people. Their farming practices ensure that the beef they offer is not only nutrient-dense but also produced with the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental responsibility.

Products and Offerings

Brass Family Farm specializes in premium 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Their robust selection features quarter, half, and whole beef shares, along with smaller, convenient beef boxes suitable for any household size. Products range from a Standard 1/8 Beef Bundle to more specialized grill samplers and family samplers, all providing a diverse selection of cuts at competitive pricing.

In addition to these options, the farm offers specialty items such as grass-fed beef fat — perfect for rendering into tallow — and a variety of bones ideal for making rich, nutritious broths. Their beef is sourced from single animals, ensuring a consistent, high-quality product that never mixes with other cattle.

Sustainability and Practices

Brass Family Farm is rooted in sustainable practices. Their cattle are raised entirely on grass and managed with portable electric fencing to promote low-stress environments. This commitment to sustainability extends to their collaborations with small-scale local butchers who process the beef according to precise customer specifications.
