Nature’s Promise Beef – Raised Without Antibiotics | Nature’s Promise
Our beef comes from cattle raised without antibiotics, on farms committed to humane animal care and environmental stewardship. We work with family ranchers who share our values — cattle graze on pasture when weather permits and receive a vegetarian diet free from animal by-products.
Every cut meets strict sourcing standards verified through third-party audits. Whether you’re preparing weeknight dinners or special occasion meals, our beef delivers the quality and peace of mind you expect from Nature’s Promise.
What makes our beef different
Animal welfare and farming practices
Our partner ranchers follow protocols that prioritize cattle health and natural behaviors. Herds spend time on pasture when conditions allow, and all feed meets vegetarian standards — no animal by-products or meat and bone meal.
We require every farm to participate in independent animal welfare audits using industry-recognized standards. These evaluations cover handling practices, living conditions, and stress reduction measures throughout the cattle’s life. The same commitment to quality sourcing extends across our entire protein lineup, including our ground beef and premium seafood options.
Antibiotic-free commitment
Nature’s Promise beef carries a strict no-antibiotics-ever guarantee. Cattle selected for our program never receive antibiotics at any stage — even before birth or during weaning.
This approach supports both animal health through preventive care and addresses growing concerns about antibiotic resistance in food systems. Our farmers invest in herd management practices that reduce illness naturally, including proper nutrition, clean housing, and veterinary oversight. If an animal does require antibiotic treatment for medical reasons, it exits our program entirely.
Available cuts and cooking
Ground beef and everyday cuts
Our ground beef comes in multiple lean-to-fat ratios to match your recipe needs — from 90/10 for leaner burgers to 80/20 for juicier meatballs and chili. Chuck roasts and stew meat work well for slow-cooked dishes where marbling adds flavor.
Steaks and premium options
We offer ribeye, sirloin, and strip steaks suitable for grilling or pan-searing. Thicker cuts benefit from a reverse-sear method — roast at low heat first, then finish with high heat for crust. Let steaks rest five minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.

Common questions about our beef products
Our cattle are not exclusively grass-fed but do have access to pasture when weather and conditions permit. They receive a vegetarian diet that includes grains and forages, with no animal by-products. The focus is on humane raising practices and antibiotic-free protocols rather than a specific grass-fed designation.
Raised without antibiotics means the cattle in our program never receive antibiotics at any point in their lives — from birth through processing. This differs from some programs that only restrict antibiotics during certain life stages. If an animal requires antibiotic treatment for health reasons, it is removed from the Nature’s Promise program.
We source from family ranches across multiple regions in the United States known for quality cattle production. Each farm undergoes third-party audits to verify compliance with our animal welfare, feed, and medication standards. Supply chain documentation tracks every lot from ranch through processing.
Store fresh beef in the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use within three to five days. For longer storage, freeze in airtight packaging — ground beef stays fresh up to four months, while whole cuts like steaks and roasts maintain quality for six to twelve months frozen. Always thaw in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure food safety. For whole cuts like steaks and roasts, cook to at least 145°F and let rest for three minutes before cutting. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the cut for accurate readings.
Availability varies by location. Most stores that carry Nature’s Promise products stock our beef in the fresh meat section. Check with your local store’s meat department for current selection and to inquire about special orders for specific cuts.
Our beef comes from cattle raised without added growth hormones or growth-promoting antibiotics. Federal regulations already prohibit hormone use in all poultry and pork, but it is permitted in conventional beef production. Our program excludes added hormones as part of our commitment to cleaner raising practices.
