Grass-Fed Beef

Our cattle are raised and finished on 100% grass pasture and hay. Grass-fed beef is generally leaner with more beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids and more vitamin E precursors.

Delicious Food

Cross Gentics

We raise Black Angus crossed with Hereford, Red Angus, and other varieties selected to maximize the best characteristics of each breed. We always strive for excellent meat production and gentle, calm dispositions.

Cozy Interior

Sustainable

Our environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly farm pastures are never treated with herbicides or pesticides. Although we are not certified 'Organic', we follow organic principles in raising our cattle.

About

Our Farm



Valley Ridge Farms is your source for sustainably raised, Ohio grass-fed and finished freezer beef raised 100% on pasture. We are located about 30 minutes northeast of Marietta in Monroe County, an area referred to as the “Switzerland of Ohio.” We began raising cattle in 2004 with the goal of producing grass-fed and finished beef that has consistent taste, marbling, and tenderness. We work to achieve these results through Rotational Grazing / Management Intensive Grazing (MIG) which improves the pasture grass quality, soil quality and ultimately our cattle’s nutrition.
