About Us

TAR HEEL BEEF COMPANY

Pride with every bite.

Our Mission

Dedicated to delivering quality, humanely-raised beef directly from the heart of North Carolina's family farms to your table. Our mission is to connect our customers with the rich agricultural heritage of the Carolinas, ensuring that every bite of beef not only supports local farmers but also promotes health, trust, and sustainability. We aim to make a positive impact on the lives of family farmers, the welfare of our animals, and the well-being of your family through transparent, responsible, and ethical farming practices.  No foreign beef, no additives, all local. 

Feel proud of the food you serve your family

I like many was naïve to the deceptive, irresponsible and untrustworthy practices of the grocery stores and other retailers of beef in America.  Did you know that 80% of beef is packaged by only 4 companies and worse, these companies maintain 80% of the profits in the supply chain.  This leaves family farmers broke and forced into bankruptcy.  Compounding the issue, beef is imported from foreign countries including Brazil, Australia and Namibia in Africa and shockingly, under current law, all imported beef can be labeled as AMERICAN because its PACKAGED here! 

Good news is the consumer (YOU) always holds the power.  Here at Tar Heel Beef Company, we have a simple mission and that is to give you a simple, trusted source to purchase high quality local beef directly from family farms.  Food you can feel proud of.  Feel proud of the beef you serve and eat, proud of the support you provide local NC farm families, and proud of the fact that you no longer are taken advantage of at the grocery store with an inferior product, that abuses famers and the animals. 

About - My Why

As a native North Carolinian, proud father of two young girls, CPA, former finance executive, and independent farm owner, I became frustrated with how difficult it was to purchase or sell good quality local beef.  Independent farmers each have their own rules and processes, each has different requirements and cut-sheets and terms we don’t all use or understand.  Each farmer is left to market their own farms and honestly, it’s a time-consuming process in order to build trust.  Further, the national “beef subscriptions” are not helping local families and often source their beef from overseas (yes, I’m looking at you Butcherbox).

Based on this, I knew there had to be a better way.  That is why I founded Tar Heel Beef Company. 

Tar Heel Beef Company has taken all this complexity out of the process.  We are your single stop shop for the best quality, best valued, locally sourced beef that you can trust.  We’ve partnered with the best farms, raising the best beef, utilizing the best processors to ensure the experience on your plate culminates in an experience you can be proud of.  As we say with our slogan… pride with every bite.   

 

All meat by law is required to be inspected and processed in a regulated facility to ensure safety.  You can be assured that all products are raised right here in North Carolina.  All of our meat is dry aged for a minimum of 14 days, and all meat if from independent family farms.  Enjoy!
