As 2023 comes to a close, I thought I’d take a moment to highlight one of the most important components of Wisconsin Meadows and the Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Cooperative: YOU!
Without our amazing customers, we would not have been able to pay our member-producers nearly $1.5 million for their 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Every time you make a purchase on our website, those dollars flow right back into the pockets of the families who raise the grass-fed beef or pastured pork. When you buy Wisconsin Meadows products, you’re buying with very little going to overhead or processing costs.
Interesting fact…did you know that in 2022, an average of just 7.9¢ of each dollar US consumers spent on food went to the farmer who grew the crops or raised the meat that went into making that food item?[1] When you buy from Wisconsin Meadows, that “farm production value” is much, much higher – probably over 50% – since comparatively little of our prices go to pay for “overhead,” and we return all our “profits” back to the cooperative in the form of investments and patronage bonuses.
We appreciate you! For valuing our products, and by sharing our values for healthy pastures, clean water, happy and healthy animals, and for the Wisconsin family farm economy!
Happy holidays from all of us at Wisconsin Meadows and Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Cooperative!
