Growing Our Community's Food

Did you know that beefalo is the only red meat shown to help lower cholesterol?* One of the reasons we choose to raise beefalo is for their nutritional value.  The Central Washington University found that beefalo had only 1/3 the palmitic acid content (known to increase LDL)  that beef has. 

Chestnut Lot Farm beefalo are naturally-raised with no hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. The majority of the Chestnut Lot Farm’s Beefalo are fullblood beefalo (3/8 bison and 5/8 domestic beef). The  balance consists of purebred beefalo, which have slightly less or more Bison content and are approved by the USDA as beefalo beef. They are born and raised on Chestnut Lot Farm.   

Chestnut Lot Farm Beefalo is processed at a USDA certified facility and is cryo-vacuum packed.  Some of the cuts available are: hamburger, a variety of steaks, roasts, and stew meat.  

Cut back your cooking time!  This is because Beefalo contains less fat than beef. Fat insulates the meat from cooking, which translates into longer cooking times for regular beef.  You can reduce your cooking time by as much as 25-33%.   If possible, allow your meat to reach room temperature before the cooking process begins.  As in regular beef, it will continue to cook inside for a few minutes once it is removed from the heat.
