We started Hardwick Beef to provide safe and healthy beef to consumers in the Northeast. Grass-fed beef is both natural and healthy for you. Because our farmers don't feed their animals antibiotics, hormones or other drugs, you can be sure that you are eating a natural product of the highest quality.
