Real Meat from Real People

A story built on grit, love, and nine generations of ranching.

We Started with a Cooler and a Belief...

We didn’t start with a polished brand or a business plan. We started with a tent, a table, a cooler full of beef, and a belief that families deserve to know where their meat comes from.

Back then, we were hauling kids to farmers markets, answering questions with a baby on one hip, and figuring things out as we went. We didn’t have it all together, but we had good beef raised with care and a whole lot of heart behind it.

Nine Generations Strong...

Ranching runs deep in our blood. And for over 40 years, our family has been focused on building better cattle genetics in our Red Angus herd. We’ve worked hard to raise beef that’s consistent, flavorful, and trustworthy. The kind of beef you feel good putting on your family’s table.

 

Because Grocery Store Labels Weren’t Enough...

After seeing shelves full of mystery meat and fine print, we knew families were craving something better. Real food from real people. Raised with intention, not shortcuts.

So we stepped up.

What Started Small Didn't Stay That Way...

What started with a tent grew to an old horse trailer turned into a mobile meat shop. We hit more markets and eventually opened our own storefront in Sheridan, Montana. Then came the shipping orders. Then the 5L Meat Club—a subscription box that makes it easy for families across the U.S. to fill their freezer with meat they can trust.

Same Dirt. Same Values...

We’ve kept our feet planted in the same Montana soil. We raise our animals the way we always have—with no hormones, no antibiotics, and a whole lot of pride in what we do.
We’ve learned a lot along the way. Some of it came easy. A lot of it didn’t. There were orders that didn’t go as planned and moments we questioned if it was all worth it.
But then we see a family post a photo of their stocked freezer. Or hear someone say, “That was the best burger I’ve ever had.”
And we’re reminded this is bigger than us.

We’re a Family, Not a Corporation...

We’re not just another meat company. We raise our cattle ourselves. We know their bloodlines. We dry-age our beef for two to three weeks so the flavor speaks for itself. And we ship it right to your door so you don’t have to second-guess what’s for dinner.

It Takes a Family to Feed a Family...

Behind every box of meat is an entire family working together to make it happen. Parents, kids, siblings, and grandkids.

My dad, my two brothers, my sister, my husband, and I—we all have a hand in this. Whether it’s feeding cows, hauling hay, managing orders, or chasing kids between chores, it truly takes an army to keep this place going. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
