Grass-Fed Beef in Tennessee: Where to Buy

Tennessee's rolling Middle Tennessee Bluegrass Region and the Cumberland Plateau are among the most productive grazing landscapes in the South. Double L Farms, owned by Charley Layman in Knoxville, raises 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef and owns its own processing plant, delivering to East Tennessee and into western North Carolina. White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia, one of the most celebrated regenerative farms in the country, is a few hours' drive from Nashville and ships to all Tennessee addresses. In-store, Earth Fare, Whole Foods, and Sprouts provide solid coverage across Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville, and the state's farmers market network is increasingly well-supplied with Tennessee-raised grass-fed options.
