This is only a small selection of grass-fed beef available locally. More local farms can be found at Eat Wild Colorado. Purchasing the whole, half, or quarter animal can save you money; check with farmers about this option, often in late summer/early autumn when pastures are going dormant. This list is provided as a resource; users are encouraged to ask the farmers about the diet and care of their animals.
