What Real People Say about Alderspring Beef (and our other meats!)
We’ve spent 29+ years perfecting our quality, and our customers say we deliver!
I will be a customer for life, the meats were well packaged and completely frozen. We tried our first package and all I can say is we feel blessed to have found them! It is truly the best meat we’ve ever had.
Google Review
The meat is extremely flavorful and clean and just doesn’t compare to other beef – this is the only beef we purchase now – we are spoiled in the best way. We also appreciate the way this family business cares for the animals.
Google Review
I have been buying from Alderspring for about 10 years now. It started due to health concerns and the hormones in most beef in grocery stores. But it is more than that, as I appreciate beef that is raised ethically, and where they can roam free and eat the grasses that they were born to eat.
Google review
We appreciate Glenn & Caryl, and their family, for their genuine care and expertise in what they do! Their high quality grass fed beef has been a huge part in my autoimmune healing journey.
Google Review
I’ve never felt better purchasing from anyone! Not only does Alderspring offer delicious meats, their whole operation is one of the most ethical, and inspiring, I’ve ever come across. They are carbon-neutral, treat all their animals, people, and environment with the utmost respect and care, and go beyond organic in their practices.

but How is Your beef different from Other Beef Online?
Still not ready to try us out? We get it! Here are a couple of the things that make our beef different.
Truly Local
Most grass fed beef you’ll find online is imported from another country. When you order our beef, you can know for certain that not only was it raised in the USA, but it comes directly from our ranch here in Idaho.
Young Beeves Only
Much of the “grass fed organic” beef you’ll find online or in grocery stores comes from “cull cows,” old dairy cows that are “culled” due to decreased milk production. This is partly why grass fed has such a reputation for being overly lean or tough…because dairy cow genetics don’t marble well, and old cows are tough! Our beef comes only from young Black Angus beef cattle, which means better marbling, flavor, and tenderness.
Actually Regenerative
“Regenerative” has become a bit of a buzzword. We prove our regenerative practices with carbon sequestration calculations, soil tests, and plant & wildlife monitoring. Read on below for more on that!
Raised on Wild Pastures
Raised on some of the wildest pastures in the world. That’s not an exaggeration. We live with our cattle each summer on our 46,000 acre mountain rangeland, where there are over 2,500 intact native species that our beeves can select from for their nutritional benefit (and ultimately, yours)! Our goal is to mimic the way wild bison used to graze this same landscape, while also preserving and restoring native plant species and wildlife through carefully controlled grazing.
Dry-Aged…The Right Way!
When beef is butchered, it must be “aged” for tenderness. Most beef is “wet-aged,” which is less expensive but results in less tender and flavorful beef (and we find it creates weird flavor notes). Our beef is “dry-aged,” which results in better tenderness. We’ve honed and tested our dry-aging duration for the best flavor and tenderness while avoiding the potentially harmful mycotoxins that can develop during the longer dry-aging process that many grass fed “artisanal” producers use.
Going on 30 Years of Testing & Perfecting
This is our 30th year of ranching! We’ve spent that time testing, honing, and perfecting the tiny details that make our beef exceptional. We’ve found over the years that details like pasture diversity, which plants an animal grazes, how the beef is packaged, or even the temperature it is frozen at can change the final result on your plate. Because of our attention to detail, our beef has won national taste tests and been acclaimed in books (see below)!

We use Controlled Grazing to Improve the Land
Here you see our daughter Annie (she’s the 6th of the 7 daughters!) managing the herd out on our 48,000 acre mountain rangeland. Each summer, our crew of riders lives with the herd 24/7 out there. The riders act as “moving fences” that control where and how the cattle graze.
Notice how Annie is wearing a duster to keep dry in the coming rainstorm? The crew herds in all weather about 15 hours out of the day, bringing the cattle to the best grass and then bedding them down at night in cow camp. We call this method “Inherding” for “INtentional INtensive herding.”
Because we live with the herd 24/7 and herd them constantly on horseback, we control exactly where they graze at all times. We can avoid grazing sensitive wildlife habitats, move on from a spot before we overgraze it, or even graze hard in certain areas to target invasive weeds.
