History

Betty's Got The Best! has been a cornerstone of the community, offering quality beef and produce for over 30 years. The journey began in 1982 when the owner, Betty, purchased her first Hereford heifers. Realizing the challenges of purebred production, she transitioned to focus on feedlot and local freezer beef markets, cultivating a herd that maintains a personal touch from birth to market.

Farming Practices

Betty's Got The Best! is dedicated to humane and environmentally friendly farming methods. The operation is driven by a pursuit of quality without the use of growth hormones, which are strictly avoided in their production process. Each calf in the herd is meticulously identified and tracked from birth, ensuring a meticulous quality control system is in place.

Local sourcing is key, with cattle fed on locally grown forage and grains, devoid of animal by-products. They take pride in a slow growth approach, ensuring cattle are finished at 18 to 26 months, resulting in tender and flavorful beef processed at a local abattoir.

Product Offerings

The farm offers a range of beef products, from classic cuts to bulk orders, proudly provided without growth hormones or antibiotics. Beyond beef, Betty's Got The Best! is known for its fresh, environmentally friendly produce including tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, and ground cherries from Wakem Hill.

Community Involvement

Active in local events such as the Florenceville-Bristol Summer Farm Market, Betty's Got The Best! frequently participates in community festivals, though recent circumstances have limited appearances. They continue to engage with the community, ensuring support and local food accessibility.
