Yubeta Cattle Co. is a fourth-generation Southern Arizona ranch producing 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef — all the work done on horseback, with most pastures reachable only by horse, grazing one of Arizona's last registered grasslands in Santa Cruz County. Bulk shares from quarters to wholes and sampler boxes deliver free across Southern Arizona.

Diamond K Grassfed Beef sells 100% grass-fed Devon-Angus cross beef out of Tucson, with no hormones or antibiotics used on the herd. The Krause family started the operation after dealing with their own wheat and chemical sensitivities, and customers online describe real digestive relief after switching from conventional beef. Steaks, roasts, ground beef, brisket, and beef sticks are available for pickup at the Pima Street location.

San Rafael Valley Grass Fed Beef has raised free-range Angus-Hereford cattle since 1995 on one of the West's last intact short-grass prairies — the 7,000-acre Lazy J2 Ranch at the headwaters of the Santa Cruz River, where 125 native grass varieties naturally marble the beef. The line spans four ground beef products, steaks, roasts, organ meats, and bone broth bones, plus the Harris family's wood-smoked bacon, sold at Tucson-area Heirloom Farmers Markets.
