Nature’s Promise Ground Beef | Organic Grass-Fed Beef
We source our Nature’s Promise ground beef from organic, grass-fed cattle raised on family farms where animal welfare and sustainable practices come first. Every pound is certified USDA Organic and raised without antibiotics or added hormones, giving you clean beef that tastes the way nature intended.
This ground beef works beautifully in weeknight dinners—from classic burgers and tacos to slow-simmered sauces and meatballs. The grass-fed profile delivers a richer, deeper flavor than conventional beef, with the natural nutrient density you expect from pasture-raised meat. Our commitment to transparency means you can trace every package back to farms that share our values for clean food and humane animal care.
What makes this ground beef different
Sourcing and animal welfare standards
Our ground beef comes from cattle that spend their entire lives on pasture, grazing the way ruminants evolved to eat. We partner exclusively with certified organic farms where cattle rotate through fresh grass paddocks, a practice that improves soil health and eliminates the need for feedlot confinement. Every farm in our supply chain undergoes third-party audits to verify humane treatment, from birth through processing.
The same commitment to sourcing transparency extends across our protein lineup—the wild-caught salmon and grass-fed beef both trace back to verified sustainable operations. You’ll never find antibiotics used as growth promoters or synthetic hormones in any animal we source. Because cattle are raised on diverse pasture grasses rather than grain, the resulting beef carries a more complex flavor and a fat profile naturally higher in conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids.
Cooking and handling tips
Grass-fed ground beef is leaner than conventional grain-fed beef, typically around 90/10 or 93/7 lean-to-fat ratio depending on the cut. This means it cooks faster and can dry out if overcooked, so we recommend using medium to medium-high heat and pulling it off when internal temperature hits 160°F for safety. A meat thermometer takes the guesswork out and prevents overcooking.
For burgers, handle the meat gently—overworking the patties makes them dense. Form patties about ¾ inch thick with a slight dimple in the center to prevent bulging on the grill. In skillet dishes like tacos or Bolognese, brown the beef in batches to avoid steaming, then deglaze the pan with a splash of stock or wine to capture the flavorful fond. Because this beef is lean, adding a tablespoon of olive oil or butter during cooking can help maintain moisture in longer-cooked dishes like chili or meatloaf.
Storage and shelf life
Fresh Nature’s Promise ground beef should be refrigerated immediately and used within 1-2 days of purchase for peak quality. If you don’t plan to cook it right away, freeze it in its original vacuum-sealed package or rewrap tightly in freezer paper, pressing out as much air as possible. Properly frozen ground beef holds quality for 3-4 months.
Thaw frozen beef in the refrigerator overnight, never on the counter—slow thawing preserves texture and minimizes bacterial growth. If you’re in a hurry, submerge the sealed package in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until thawed. Once thawed, do not refreeze raw beef unless you cook it first. Always wash hands, cutting boards, and utensils with hot soapy water after handling raw meat to prevent cross-contamination.

Common questions about our grass-fed ground beef
Grass-fed means our cattle graze on pasture throughout their lives, and grass-finished means they are never moved to a feedlot or given grain before processing. This diet produces leaner beef with a distinct flavor profile and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef. All our ground beef comes from USDA Organic certified farms where cattle spend their entire lives on open pasture.
Yes. Our ground beef is certified USDA Organic, which prohibits the use of antibiotics and added hormones at every stage of production. Cattle are raised using preventive health practices like rotational grazing and low-stress handling, eliminating the need for routine antibiotic use. If an animal requires medical treatment, it is removed from the organic program to ensure certification integrity.
Grass-fed ground beef is leaner than conventional grain-fed beef, so it cooks faster and can dry out if overcooked. Use medium to medium-high heat and cook to an internal temperature of 160°F, checking with a meat thermometer. For burgers, pull them from heat a few degrees early since carryover cooking will bring them to temp. Adding a small amount of oil or butter during cooking helps retain moisture in lean cuts.
You can freeze our ground beef for 3-4 months without significant quality loss. Keep it in the original vacuum-sealed package or rewrap tightly in freezer paper, pressing out air to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight for best texture. Once thawed, use within 1-2 days and do not refreeze unless you cook it first.
We source from a network of certified organic family farms in the United States that meet strict animal welfare and sustainability standards. Each farm undergoes third-party audits to verify pasture access, organic feed compliance, and humane treatment. Our supply chain is fully traceable, so every package can be linked back to the farm where the cattle were raised.
Yes, grass-fed beef has a richer, more complex flavor with earthy or mineral notes that come from the diverse pasture grasses cattle graze. Some people describe it as more robust or gamey compared to the milder taste of grain-fed beef. The difference is most noticeable in simple preparations like burgers or meatballs, where the beef flavor takes center stage.
Our grass-fed ground beef is typically 90/10 or 93/7 lean-to-fat ratio, depending on the specific cut and batch. This leaner profile is a natural result of pasture-raised cattle getting more exercise and eating a forage-based diet. The lower fat content makes it a good choice for recipes where you want clean beef flavor without excess grease, though you may need to add a bit of oil for moisture in longer-cooked dishes.
