Homestead Journal
If you have ever wondered why some steaks have that deep, rich flavor while others taste a little flat, the answer often comes down to one key step: how the beef is aged.
Ranching on Colorado’s Western Slope is more than a livelihood—it’s a commitment to the land, community, and future. At Homestead Natural Meats, local ranchers are proving that sustainable practices and premium beef go hand in hand, ensuring every cut tells a story of stewardship and connection.
Four generations strong, the LaValley family continues a legacy of stewardship that defines what it means to be a Homestead rancher. Their story is a reminder that good food — and good land — are built on care, commitment, and community.
No imports. No mixing. No mystery meat. Just Colorado beef, raised by local ranching families and delivered straight from our pastures to your table.
Not all ‘local beef’ is truly local. Thanks to labeling loopholes, meat raised overseas can still end up on your plate with a U.S. label. At Homestead Natural Meats, we do things differently. From our Colorado ranches to our own USDA facilities to your table, our single-source promise means no mixing, no imports, and no mystery meat — just honest, high-quality Colorado beef you can trust.
