Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Can I just order steaks?

Everybody loves a perfectly seared steak! However, to remain sustainable as a business as well as in our farming practices, we can only sell steaks in the proportions that God “& nature put them on the bovine frame. About 15%- 20% of each animal’s yield is steaks, so we designed our beef bundles with similar proportions in mind. If you are ordering by the cut, you can let us know what steaks you’d like to add to your order in the “notes” section at checkout. We’ll add the steaks (up to 20% of the weight of your total order) update your invoice.

Where can I pick up Eden Pure Beef locally?

Eden Pure Beef can be found at the Marietta Square Farmer’s Market from 9:00am until Noon every Saturday, year round (except the last Saturday of the year when the market takes a break for the holiday).

Do you ship your beef?

Yes we do! We only ship our 16 – 20 lb beef bundles and custom orders that are 15 – 20 lbs. This is to ensure enough thermal mass to keep the beef at a safe temperature and packed securely in our shipping coolers. Visit our online store >> Packages are shipped every Tuesday via UPS Next Day Saver Shipping cost is determined by the “live” rate from UPS at the time of order. Our shopping cart will estimate your shipping rate (Shipping costs range from around $30 for shipments within Georgia, to $100 for the west coast )

Do you sell milk or other dairy products?

We appreciate your interest in dairy products but at Eden Pure Beef we are focused on regeneratively and sustainably farming 100% lifetime grass-fed beef without the use of grain-finishing, antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines. We do not have any dairy operations.

Why "No Grain"?"

A cow's digestive system is not designed to handle grains. Whilie they may consume an incidental amount of seeds and grains from mature grasses, they do not consume anywhere near the quantities needed to "finish" them or get them "fattened up" to market weight. Cattle finished on

Cattle finisihed on grain have a much higher Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio than grass-fed. Samples of grass-fed beef showed a range of 2:1 to 4:1 in Omega-6 to Omega 3 while conventional beef has been shown to have much higher O6:O3: ratios, often as high as 15:1. This ratio is significant as high Omega 6: Omega3 ratios are linked to inflammation and many chronic diseases.

Even cattle who are fed small amounts of grain to finish them to market weight more quickly and produce a little more fat marbling in their meat will have significantly higher Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acid ratios.

Additionally, the digestive systems of grain fed cattle become more acidic, resulting in the "need" for interventions to help them stay "healthy" (or rather, free from acute illness)..
