The great thing about going organic is that you don’t have to give up flavor. In fact, many people find organic meats have a superior taste.  We’ve eaten a LOT of steaks in our day, and we think you can’t go wrong with our organic rib eyes or New York Strips. But it’s important to do a little experimenting to decide whether to order grain-finished or 100 percent grass-fed beef.

Grass-fed, grain-finished organic beef: This is your more traditional marbled, steakhouse-style beef. At Greensbury our beef is always organic, and always vegetarian-fed. The cattle primarily eat grass. But they are fed organic grain as well. 

100% grass-fed beef. The flavor of grass-fed is definitely different. Some people absolutely love its leaner, cleaner taste profile. The health benefits of grass-fed beef make it a great choice if you want to eat beef regularly. Lower in calories and saturated fat than conventional beef, it also has more vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and a number of health-promoting fats, including omega-3 fatty acids and “conjugated linoleic acid” (CLA).

More and more people are making careful choices about the meat they buy and consume. Check out the CHOW blog for an interesting first-person perspective on choosing grass-fed beef.
