Southern Natural Farms

Southern Natural Farms is made up of several Tennessee family farms who are focused on producing premium beef.

Southern Natural Farms partners with family farms who share the highest sincerity for animal welfare and who eagerly practice environmentally sound farming methods. Their meat quality begins on the farm where farmers are focused on breed leading angus beef carefully selected from across the country. Their method of data collecting provides insight to farmers on how to improve their herd’s performance year after year, constantly striving to produce the most flavorful and tender meats. Every aspect of their food production process is controlled in house from overseeing their strict growing standards for all of their partner farms to transporting those animals to their USDA inspected, company owned processing facility, to shipment. Having this control enables Southern Natural Farms to offer the highest level of food safety and product consistency along with the end consumers’ assurance of knowing exactly which family farm their products came from.
