Our corn goes to the distillery. It comes back to us.

Our member farms grow non-GMO corn in Kentucky for bourbon distilleries. After distilling, the spent grain comes back, and the cattle finish on it for the last three months before harvest.

01The fields

It starts in the fields.

Our member farms grow non-GMO corn in Kentucky for bourbon distilleries.

02The still

The distilleries take the corn.

The distilleries mash, ferment and distill it. What the stills leave behind is spent grain mash.

03The mash

The mash is the feed.

The spent grain goes into the feed bunk. It is what the cattle eat for the last three months before harvest.

How bourbon mash finished beef is made

Finished With Purpose.

The finish is the flavor.

Three months on spent grain from Kentucky bourbon distilleries.

Richer flavor. Deeper marbling. Better yield.

The result is a more distinct eating experience, in every cut. Not in a label and not in a grade stamp, but in the way the fat renders and the way the meat eats.

The finish is the flavor.

We don't rush the process. We don't compromise the standard.
