The ranch.

StarWalker Organic Farms is a family run ranch in Northern California built around one simple belief: people should be able to know where their food comes from and trust how it was raised. Our family has deep roots in agriculture, and we have been certified organic since the 1980s. Over time, StarWalker grew from a farm into a fully integrated food system. We raise Regenerative Organic Certified cattle and pigs on the land, process through our USDA facility, and bring the finished food directly to customers across the country. That connection from pasture to plate matters to us. It allows us to stay close to the land, the animals, the food, and the people we serve. We are proud to raise American food with care, build healthier soil and stronger farming practices, and help more families reconnect with the farmers behind their meals.

“We believe the food you choose should do more than fill a plate. It should nourish your body, support the land, and come from people you can know and trust. We are grateful for the opportunity to raise food for your family with the same care and standards we want for our own. ” — Star Walker

Questions people ask before they reserve.

What exactly is a whole?

The entire animal, both sides. Star Walker processes whole-animal orders so you get every primal — steaks, roasts, ground beef, and the variety cuts.

Is anything charged later?

No. You pay the full $7,800 today and nothing more is charged afterwards. No adjustments, no surprises.

Is this sold as beef or as a share of a live animal?

It depends on the plant. Star Walker harvests at a StarHarvest Processing Facility plant , so you are buying a share of the live animal and must pick it up at the plant in California or take rancher delivery. Either way, you see the terms before you pay.

How much freezer space do I need?

About 8 cubic feet for a half and a 15 cubic foot chest freezer for a whole. A standard kitchen freezer holds a half if it is nearly empty.
