While nature has been a little hard on this year's grape crop (frost, rain), our cattle herd and harvest continue to grow, so we have a little surplus of 2011 beef. That means there is no wait list right now to join the Beef Club and we can ship immediately. We think 2011's abundant rainfall and forage delivered our sweetest, best quality beef yet.  Our Adelaida Springs Ranch Beef club gives you a 20% discount on two 25 lb. boxes of assorted cuts per year. Our list price for each beef pack is $200, but it's just $160 for Club members. As a member, you can buy more anytime (depending on availability) at the club discount and we can ship overnight, anywhere in California. Our 25 lb. beef packages make great gifts. Each box includes approximately:

• 6 lbs. steaks
• 6 lbs. roasts
• 8 lbs. ground beef
• 5 lbs. of stew meat, short ribs, ka bobs, etc.
  

Here at Adelaida Springs Ranch we raise cattle naturally to provide you with a healthy, delicious alternative to industrial, corn-fed beef. We absolutely love our cows and the landscape that feeds them. Most of all we love the taste of the tender, succulent beef they produce. These beautiful Angus cattle are bred naturally here and graze freely on the ranch for their entire lives. We believe our approach is better for the animals, better for the environment and makes tastier food that's better for you. To learn more about our ranch and growing techniques, read our pastures and practices article. If you want to learn more about the nutritional advantages of natural, grass-fed beef, read our health benefits article.

Although our beef is available in a few local shops and restaurants, including J&R Custom Meats in Paso Robles and  Nature's Touch in Templeton, we are excited about selling meat directly to our customers. By selling directly, we can offer you a better price and related benefits, such as discounts on wine, events and ranch stays. Most importantly, you have access to the ranch and can get to know more about the source of your food. You can associate the natural beauty and sustainable abundance of Adelaida Springs Ranch with a great tasting, healthy addition to your diet.

All of our beef is USDA inspected, frozen fresh and vacuum packed in plastic by Paso Robles Meat and Sausage. Local pick-up in Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero is available, or come visit us at the ranch and pick-up your beef here. We'd love to meet you and show you around.

The Right Place

We think the coastal mountains west of Paso Robles are a great spot to raise prime beef naturally. One old cowboy calls our place the "honey hole." Ample annual rainfall, totalling over 30 inches per year on average, is the result of our proximity to the ocean (just 12 miles to the southwest) and our mountain valley location.  Our rich, rolling hills are prime oak woodland, covered with thick grasses and forbs, like wild rye, clover, vetch and filaree. This natural, high-energy feed results in fat, well muscled cattle without resorting to grain-based feeds and supplements that are the staple of commercial feedlots. Of course we never use hormone supplements or antibiotics, which are common in grocery store beef.
