About Black Earth Meats

We supply fresh meat to restaurants and retailers in the upper Midwest, and directly to customers through our retail store in Black Earth and over the internet.  We are a USDA facility with third-party certification for humane handling (Animal Welfare Approved) and are certified organic (Iowa Department of Agriculture).

Although we come from a direct marketing farm background, we provide more than what a single farm can raise.  We aggregate from a number of small, sustainable farmers to provide a consistent supply of quality animals.  In addition, as a small plant, we try to keep the prices as unadorned as possible – we do not have a “marketing budget” or extensive sales programs.  Instead, we develop a relationship with our chefs and grocers to learn together how to utilize more of each animal.
