Rocky Oak Farms

Rocky Oak Farms in Albion, Michigan, is a family-owned farm and meat market where pasture-raised and grass-fed proteins take center stage. As fourth-generation farmers, the owners raise 100 percent grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and pastured poultry on rotational pastures, giving customers access to meats free of antibiotics, added hormones, and steroids.

The emphasis here is on quality and transparency — customers can order individual cuts, sides of beef or pork, or whole pastured birds, and know exactly how the animals were raised and processed. This direct farm-to-freezer model reflects many of the values of a traditional butcher shop, with meat cut and vacuum-sealed to customer specifications upon request.
