TRUE CUT RANCH

PASTURE-RAISED MEATS IN NC

Welcome to True Cut Ranch! We are passionate about providing pasture-raised beef, pork, lamb, and poultry in Catawba County, NC. The ranch was established back in 1980, and we first laid eyes on it in 2021. Cut Ranch.


The best meat comes from pasture, not factories.

Our cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep, ducks, and pigs are regularly moved to fresh pasture using a practice folks call “rotational grazing.” 

Call it whatever you want: organic, sustainable, regenerative. We’re just doing our best to mimic nature by making sure our animals are well-cared for and moved frequently to new grassy areas. Many of our farming methods are inspired by our mentor, Joel Salatin.

What you find in our farm store and at our farmers market booth is the same food that we eat. If we wouldn’t feed it to our family, we wouldn’t sell it to you. Pastured protein from True Cut Ranch tastes incredible and makes us feel great. You’ll love it, too.

Come visit us at the farm Fridays and Saturdays 10am-6pm and experience the farm for yourself.  Fred anD melissa also teach workshops and lead walking tours at True Cut Ranch.
