Grass-Fed Beef in Minnesota: Where to Buy
Minnesota is the birthplace of Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed, one of the most rigorously verified grass-fed beef brands in the country, AGA certified and Audubon Bird-Friendly certified across all 50 of its ranching operations. Founded in Minnesota in 2003, Thousand Hills is widely available statewide at Lunds & Byerlys, Hy-Vee, co-ops, and natural food stores. Add Northstar Bison from neighboring Wisconsin (ships to Minnesota with a local pickup option), and Minnesota is one of the best Midwest states for grass-fed beef.
