100% Sweet Grass-fed and Finished Wagyu ("Kobe") Beef

Lopez Island, Washington

About our processor

We are extraordinarily fortunate to be members of the Island Grown Farmers Cooperative (IGFC). Our Coop operates the first and only USDA inspected Mobile Slaughter Unit (MSU) in the country at this time. The MSU enables us to keep our steers on the farm for harvest. This is very important. We never lose control of our animals by sending them off to a slaughter facility where they are exposed to all kinds of stresses and feed changes. Our butcher, Jim, is a master. He was trained in the family business both in Holland and in the U.S. He is a gentle conscientious man, we could not ask for better.

Our USDA inspected processing facility in Bow, WA where Jim and his excellent crew do the cutting, packaging and freezing of our beef supports the MSU. Both the MSU and the facility in Bow are clean, efficient and small. Small is important; every carcass is given proper care and attention. We are a Farmers Coop and we consume our own products. We want the best for both our families and you our customers. The MSU & the processing facility are certified Organic. Instead of chlorine and other commercial disinfectants that are typically used in washing the carcass after slaughter we use effective non-toxic vinegar. When you pick up your beef at the facility you will be met by open doors and good people. The IGFC crew works hard and are busy, but if time permits they will be glad to show you around.
