We do offer local pickup at our Middle Island, NY location through our CSA. But we do not retail our beef from the farm. Our team is focused on ranch work for most of the day (and evening).

Acabonac is a Native American word that means 'root place, the place where roots are grown'. Old texts spell Acabonac a number of ways - Accabonac, Akabomuk, Acabonac, etc.

Yes, our cattle are 100% grass fed.  Regarding grassfed, versus grass finished, versus pasture finished...  When it comes to cattle, the key question is simply: are the cattle fed grains?  Ours are not, they are fed a 100% grass diet.  Our pastures include a mix of cool season perennial grasses (e.g., ryegrass, orchardgrass, timothy), warm season annual grasses (e.g., crabgrass), and legumes (e.g., clovers). We seed our pastures and manage our grazing to optimize forage diversification, energy content and palatability.

All of our retail products arrive frozen. We flash freezer our beef at the time of processing to lock in freshness. And we individually package all of our retail products for storage in the freezer and refrigerator.

We ship orders on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Within our UPS ground network, most shipments arrive to customers the following day. For orders beyond our UPS ground zone, we ship UPS 2-Day Air service. All orders are packed with dry ice, and all items will arrive frozen. To every extent possible we use packing materials that are curbside recyclable. We are constantly working to reduce our carbon footprint and produce our product with minimal waste.
