Black Angus Beef

Growing up, we would often sell our best beef at county fairs and to a few friends. The result has always been the same. Once people try our hormone free, humanely cared for beef, they can never go back to the supermarket's cuts. Knowing the Schramer family and Farm Direct Black Angus is like the good old days of knowing your farmer. It's real peace of mind for you and your family.
