Alderspring Ranch
Certified organic 100% grass-fed beef from Idaho's wild mountain pastures
About This Supplier
Alderspring Ranch is a family-operated ranch in the Pahsimeroi Valley of Idaho raising certified organic, 100% grass-fed beef on 46,000+ acres of wild mountain rangeland. Their operation holds both USDA Organic and the stricter Real Organic Project certification — believed to be the largest contiguous certified organic rangeland in the continental US.
Full Profile
Founded in 2005 by Glenn and Caryl Elzinga and their seven daughters, Alderspring Ranch sells direct-to-consumer from one of the most rigorously certified grass-fed operations in the country. Their remote Idaho rangeland supports over 500 plant species, and all cattle graze exclusively on pasture — never in feedlots, never supplemented with grain. The ranch holds both USDA Certified Organic and Real Organic Project (ROP) certification, the latter a stricter private-label standard obtained in 2020 as one of the first western operations to achieve it.
Their regenerative practices have tripled soil organic matter to 7.75%, sequester 8× more carbon than the operation releases, and have restored 55+ miles of degraded rangeland streams including active Chinook salmon habitat. Every pound sold is traced to a single known animal with full history. Ships frozen nationwide to all 48 contiguous states via UPS with no markup on shipping costs — rates are passed through at cost.
