Think Grocery Store Meat is the Same as Local Farm Raised Beef? - Discover the harsh reality and choose local for all your beef needs.

  • Opaque Origins & No Traceability

    Grocery Store Problem: Grocery store beef hides its roots. Misleading “Product of the USA” labels mask foreign origins, like Brazilian cattle linked to deforestation. Traceability—good luck. Intentionally misleading as you would never purchase.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Know your beef’s story. Our North Carolina farm partners provide full transparency, from pasture to plate, ensuring safety and trust.

  • Sneaky Processing Tricks

    Grocery Store Problem: Grocery stores sell meat pumped with carbon monoxide to fake freshness or needle-tenderized, risking bacteria deep inside. These hidden tricks prioritize shelf life over quality.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Get fresh, honest beef. Our local butchers use traditional methods, delivering pure cuts without industrial gimmicks.

  • Chemical Washes Like Chlorine

    Grocery Store Problem: Your grocery store steak might be sprayed with chlorine to kill bacteria, a practice banned in the EU. Labels won’t tell you, leaving you eating chemically treated meat.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Enjoy clean, natural beef. Our local processors don't use chemical washes so you know you have pure, natural beef.

  • Remember Pink Slime in Ground Beef

    Grocery Store Problem: Up to 70% of grocery store ground beef STILL contains “pink slime”—ammonia-treated filler that’s less nutritious and sneaks into your burgers without disclosure.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Savor 100% real ground beef. We grind from whole North Carolina cuts, no fillers ever.

  • Additives & Preservatives

    Grocery Store Problem: Grocery store meats are loaded with saltwater, nitrogen, or vague “natural flavors” to mask age or boost looks, altering taste and nutrition.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Taste pure, additive-free beef. Our fresh, local cuts need no enhancements, just quality you can trust.

  • Ethical & Environmental Harm

    Grocery Store Problem: Most grocery store beef comes from corporate CAFOs tied to deforestation, water waste, and cruel animal conditions, clashing with your values.
    Tar Heel Beef Benefit: Support sustainable, humane farming. Our North Carolina grass-fed beef aligns with your ethics and the planet’s health. Not to mention it helps your local farm neighbors.
