Proffitt Family Farms Mission
Our mission is to produce high quality beef grown in a natural way.  To provide our animals with an
environment that lets them  live their entire lives as nature intended, by allowing them to forage exclusively
on pasture.  On our farm we let the cows and pasture land sustain each other with only rain and sunshine.
Our animals are never given hormones or antibiotics.

 London Broil Special $23.00

  1 London Broil roast and 3 meaty beef shank.  This has a normal retail
value of $28.00.  You are getting a roast that will be 2-3 lbs. and 3, one to
two pound shank.  So you get at least 5 lbs. of meat!  The shank will be in 3
pieces and each will be a minimum of 1 pound.  Use these for Osso Bucco,
french onion soup, or for the flavor of your veggie soup.  A London Broil is
perfect seared on the grill after being marinated for 24 hours.  Slice it
against the grain with an electric knife and you'll have leftovers for a
sandwhich the next day.  Lean and delicious!

                             Last Saturday at our Shelby property we were
greeted with a new addition to the herd.  This little guy was
born to #62, a kind and loving mother cow.  She was
pregnant with him when she arrived on our property
earlier this past summer.  Since the pasture she has been
grazing was certified USDA Organic in S
eptember 2009 and
calves born to mothers who spend the last trimester eating
certified organic grass or feeds, will bear organic beef
calves once those calves have spent their whole live eating
certified organic.  This certification process is complicated
by the fact that we do not feed any corn or grain!  This
means all of our pastures that are grazed by an animal to be
organic certified must remain on the certified pastures
throughout their lives, including the last trimester of their
gestation!  This also means any hay they are fed must be
certified organic and any minerals they eat as a supplement
must be certified organic.    Things get complicated fast!  
                    But, that little calf knows no complication.   Life is
grand for him.   He'll spend his days roaming about the 200
acres in Shelby under the southern sun.  He'll drink from
the Broad river, from a trough, and take the milk loaded in
butter fat his mother provides.  He'll take some dried sea
kelp and salt, from the ancient sea, found in the troughs as
he wants it.  He won't know what a special, unique, and
truly priveliged, existence he is leading.  He won't know
that he is the first beef calf born on USDA Certified Organic
pastures in his home state.   He is something to celebrate
for us.  There are a precious few USDA Organic AND grass
fed operations in the entire country.  We are excited to be
the first in NC and SC and, therefore, able to provide this to
the Charlotte market in the very short future.  Thanks for
you support.  I know you all celebrate with us!   What
should we name him, it's a bull?

In September 2009 the USDA certified two of our pastures
(260 acres) organic and one pasture (200 acres) transitional
(to be certified organic in September 2010).  In about 2 years
we will be able to provide you with USDA certified organic,
100% grass fed beef.  At this time we are offering 100% grass
fed, no hormones, no antibiotics, never penned.  Beef that
spent their complete lifetime grazing on local
pastures.
