Grass-Fed Beef in Kentucky: Where to Buy
Kentucky's Bluegrass region is famously suited to livestock production, the mineral-rich limestone-filtered soil grows exceptional pasture grass. One Cow Farm, managed by Alona Demmers in Harrodsburg, raises cattle that never see a feedlot, 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and delivers across central Kentucky including Lexington and Louisville. Bowling Green also has solid retail access, and the state's farm-direct culture is strong, with weekend farmers markets often the best source for locally raised beef.
