The same cattle are in the organic ground beef, the bone-in ribeye, and the first-cut brisket. Some of the country's 5-star chefs have already served it, and we guarantee your satisfaction.

Beef the way a butcher case should read

Our beef aisle is organized the way you actually shop: ground and patties for weeknights, steaks when you want a hard sear, and slow-cook cuts when the oven or smoker has time. Start in Ground & Burgers for packs like Organic Beef Ground and beef patties, or jump to Steaks & Cubes for rib eye, NY strip, tenderloin, skirt, and steak strips. Brisket, short ribs, and roasts live under Brisket, Ribs & Roasts; sausages and hot dogs under Brats, Franks & Sausages.

Organic and grass-fed options are labeled on the product page—Kobe Grass Fed Ground Beef and Organic Beef Rib Eye are examples when you want that sourcing called out in the title. Classic premium cuts sit right beside them, so you can mix a Tuesday burger run with a Friday steak without switching stores. Organ cuts, soup bones, and oxtail are in Organ Meats & Bones when you are cooking nose-to-tail.

Steaks want a dry surface, plenty of salt, and a hot pan or grill—pull them a shade earlier if you are working leaner grass-fed packs. Ground beef is forgiving; smash burgers and meat sauce both start with the same bag from the freezer. Roasts and ribs need time and a thermometer more than a fancy rub. Philly steak meat and stew cuts are built for bowls, fajitas, and long simmers when you still want beef at the center of the plate.

For a richer celebration steak, browse Wagyu. Prefer leaner red meat with a similar cut map? Compare Bison (Buffalo) or Elk. Pork chops and bacon are next door in Pork. Seasonal deals across the case show up on Current Specials when we have them.

Order the cuts you will actually use—ground for the week, a steak pack for the weekend, a roast when company is coming—and let cold-chain shipping do the heavy lifting to your door.

BEEF FAQ

We've Got You Covered

Common questions about how we raise, pack, and ship our meats.

Are your organic beef fed grains and does this effect the omega 3s & CLA's?
We feed a special diet that includes organic flax and we are able to not only maintain a balanced omega 3 & 6 ratio, but increase the omegas and CLA's in the animal. This technology has been used by Blackwing since the late 80s and was taught to us by Dr. Jeffery Johns, a Canadian scientist. We initially used it to produce a balanced omega 3 & 6 oil supplement from the fat of the ostrich.
What is the difference between all natural, organic & 100% organic?
All natural refers to no additives and is based on testimony of the producer. Organic means the product comes from at least 90% organic ingredients, but 100% organic means 100% of the ingredients are organic. Animals that are certified organic must come from animals that the parents were certified raised organic and raised from birth on organic land. They must be fed organic crops. The land can not have been sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers for a minimum of 3 years prior to certification. No animal bi products may be fed to animals. No genetic engineered (GMOS) may be used in feed or the animals. The product to be certified must be documented from birth to purchaser for traceability and verification. Antibiotics can not be used in organic meat.
Will eating organic foods improve my health & how.
A recent study into organic vs. non organic foods showed that by adhering to a strickly organic food program any traces of herbicides will disappear from a childs body in 5 days. The controlled study had children eat non organic food and traces of herbicides showed up in the blood stream. They were then put on an all organic program for 5 days and the herbicide traces disappeared. They then went back on a non organic program and the traces of herbicides reappeared.
Why is Piedmontese beef more tender than conventional beef?
There are various technical reasons that refer to the genetics of the animal but the easiest explanation is: Piedmontese cattle have far less collagen than other cattle. The more collagen the tougher the meat.
Are your animals ever cloned?
The simple answer is no but importantly no organically grown animal will ever be cloned. This is one of the rules to producing organic meats.
How do you ship your meats?
All of our meats are shipped in a cardboard box which is lined on all sides with an 1 1/2" thick styrofoam. We place a thermal insulated liner bag inside the box, pack the meats with dry ice and gel packs, and then top the box with foam insuring that there are no air pockets. We guarantee all shipments so if your package arrives perished we will re-ship or refund your money.
Are your animals humanely handled & processed?
Blackwing created a humane policy of raising, handling & harvesting animals back in 1990, long before it became popular or a concern to consumers.We are animal lovers and would never permit any kind of abuse from birth to harvest.
Are your meats gluten free?
Our Ostrich, Organic beef, Organic Chicken, Bison, Elk, Venison as well as our jerky & sports sticks are all Gluten free. Please note that ALL our products are gluten free.
Are your products certified organic & by whom?
the following organizations under USDA rules certify blackwing products:

beef: CCOF & MOSA.

Bison:CCOF , OCIA & MOSA

chicken & other poultry: Iowa dept. of ag, Mosa, Pa. dept of Ag.& OCIA.

Pork: Mosa & Iowa dept of ag.

All are processed under USDA organic supervision.
Are your animals ever given hormones or growth additives?
Blackwing does not permit any animal we raise or purchase to be administered hormones or growth additives.
Do you feed your animals corn or soy?
None of our animals are fed these except for our Organic Chicken which is given a special diet of organic corn and soy meal.
How are your animals raised? In what environments?
All of our animals are free ranged. Our bison, ostrich and Piedmontese beef all roam on thousands of acres. When they are finished, they are brought to smaller acreage to separate them where they can continue to graze, but are supplemented with alfalfa, flax, and various mineral/vitamins. Our Piedmontese beef are fed organic barley, sweet peas, alfalfa, and flax. All of our 100% organic feed is grown on the same farms that we raise the animals. Our organic beef & bison are raised in Canada, our chicken in Wi.& Michigan.
How does supply & demand effect prices in the healthy meats industry
Americans are recognizing the need to eat healthier as more is understood about the effects of hormones, antibiotics, and chemicals sprayed on our crops are having on our health. Demand is beginning to outgrow our supply and this is having immediate effects on the cost of Organic animals as organic & certified antibiotic/hormone free live stock continue to escalate in cost. Blackwing is steadfastly committied to offering only the cleanest & purest proteins while doing everything possible to keep the live stock cost from becoming excessive or price prohibitive to our customers. Growers will demand higher cost for their live stock when the demand continues to grow beyond the supply.

Our suggestions to Blackwing customers to help ease the burden of rising cost:

a) When possible purchase our value packages of 5 or 10 lb packages. This reduces the shipping costs per pound of purchased product. Blackwing frozen meats may be kept frozen for as long as 2 & in some cases 3 years.

b) consider obtaining a small chest freezer to allow for storage of bulk purchases.

c) take advantage of our special offers published in our newsletters. While we are committed to selling our products at wholesale restaurant prices, we occasionally are able to negotiate favorable pricing with our growers and as a result offer price specials to our retail customers.
