Ian Tomlinson, Vice President of Vera Earl Ranch in Sonoita, Arizona, knows the value of transparency at the dinner table.

Every piece of meat from Vera Earl Ranch is hyper-local. The premium beef is born, bred, fed, and finished directly at the ranch. The cattle are grass-raised and grain-finished with a 21-day dry age. Traditions maintain this high standard: ranching is done by horseback and there is respect for an entire ecosystem.

Working in tandem with the land and taking care of cattle from a larger perspective means a reciprocal benefit for customers, community, and business. The result is high-choice or prime-quality beef with the most flavorful and tender bite.
