Grass-Fed Beef in Connecticut: Where to Buy
Connecticut punches well above its weight for grass-fed beef access. The state has a dense network of small farms selling direct, strong co-op and natural food retail coverage, and easy access to regional northeast farms. The CT Department of Agriculture's 'Connecticut Grown' program actively promotes grass-fed and pasture-raised producers, and weekend farmers markets across the state stock locally raised beef. Dirty Dog Farm, a New York-based direct-to-consumer operation, includes Connecticut in its weekly Northeast delivery route. Cotton Cattle Company, a Hunterdon County, NJ farm, also delivers 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef into Connecticut.
