Naturally Better Beef. Naturally raising Black Angus cross cattle to produce meat that is healthy! Our animals spend their days on grass, not feedlot muck.

Here at Forestedge we believe that raising beef the old fashioned way is the best way. No growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticide spray or other "production enhancement" products are used. We can't claim the beef as "organic" but that is what we strive for. This method of raising beef makes the meat flavourful and, we believe, healthier! Our beef eat hay and grass off of our farm, then are "finished" for 3 months with a twice a day grain ration to increase the fat marbling (and flavour) in the meat. This is not to be confused with the heavy grain feeding of feedlots trying to pack weight on their beef, our grain feeding is just enough to enhance the flavour in the meat.

Hey everybody, this has been a wierd year. We sold out within a week. I always start with family, then oldest customers, they get dibs. We have less this year as well as Im building my herd. I’m keeping some heifers to be future cows. Long and short of it all? We sold out in one week of inquiries. There is one customer that is new who handed me $300 bucks back on January for a half a beef after he bought a year old quarter to try. Obviously he was slotted in ahead of others. Good beef is a blessing, we put a lot of effort into that enterprise.

Hey there everyone, just a reminder that the window is closing to order your beef for the 2023/2024 season. As we said before we will not be butchering any beef for late comers on speculation. Any beef not ordered now will be "shipped".

Hey there all you beef lovers! It's that time of year again, time to get your orders and deposits in to guarantee getting some yummy beef in your freezer. We here at Forestedge Farm are going to maintain our prices at $4.75/lb hanging weight.
There will be a difference this year, however. We have made the decision to not do any beef on speculation. Any beef pre-ordered, with a paid up deposit, will be done; and any live animals all be shipped to market. VERY IMPORTANT to order now before about mid September. We will be phoning last years customers to inquire about a repeat order. Cut-off ordering date will be third week of September.
Many beef farmers are getting out of the business due to weather and pricing so the meat prices, and availability, going into 2024 is anybody's guess.
Don't hesitate and miss out on Forestedge Farms tasty and healthy beef!

Hey beef lovers! Forestedge Farm still has some mixed quarters for sale. We have gotten many inquiries from new customers but there seems to be a communication breakdown when it comes to pricing. Our repeat customers know the drill about rail weights and cutting and wrapping costs but some newer customers always ask "how much meat do you get for that price?". In order to facilitate that request we have weighed the actual cut/wrapped/frozen quarters and come up with a price. We are charging $7.50 per pound for each quarter, that is a great price for such excellent beef. Yes, you can find cheaper hamburger in the store, but by buying the mixed quarter you also get yummy steaks and roasts for the same price; $7.50/pound.
How much meat is in each mixed quarter package? That depends on the size. The total weight ranges from 70 lbs of beef to 96 lbs. What kind of cuts are in the package? The packages vary a little bit (depending on size) but on average they have 7-8 steaks (rib, t-bone, sirloin and round), 4-5 roasts (cross rib, inside and outside round, sirloin tip), and 13-18 lbs of ground beef. The soup bones are included with each package. For those who like liver, it is available at no extra charge (not included in package weight).
You really can't go wrong, this is naturally raised beef with no sprays, hormones, or added pink slime. The beef is half Wagyu so the fat has a rich and healthy flavour. The burger can be fried without draining most of it off as fat (about a teaspoon/pound).
Enjoy this summer with some sizzling goodness on your bbq!

Gotta love Alberta beef! It's bbq season and I still have some beef available!

Hey beef lovers!
Forestedge Farm is officially sold out of hamburger. Ya gotta move fast when we have our yummy burger for sale. Thankfully we still have some mixed quarters for sale to anyone who wants to get ready for bbq season.

Hey everyone!
Just want to let all the fans of Forestedge know that we have hamburger for sale. $6.50 per pound in one pound packages. The burger is very lean, less than a teaspoon of fat per pound of fried burger. We also have some mixed quarters for sale if you want to round out your beef stock in time for bbq weather.

BREAK! BREAK! BREAK! Good News! This year the good folks that cut and wrap the delicious (and nutritious)Forestedge Farm beef will do mixed quarters now! A mixed quarter is simply a divided half beef so you get a little of the rear quarter and a little of the front quarter. We know times have been a little tough lately and folks don't necessarily have the cash reserves for a half a beef, this is the more affordable option. Get your orders in soon!

Note: The only (tiny) disadvantage to a mixed quarter is that there is no custom cutting option, the cutting is generic so it can be divided up evenly.

Ok all you beef lovers, we're coming down to the wire. Iv'e contacted past customers, and other fans of Forestedge Farm beef, and many orders are out there. We have four animals left to sell, first come first served. Our price this year is $4.75 per pound on what they call rail weight. That is the carcass weight after slaughter, before it ages and is cut up. Some weight is lost in this process due to moisture loss, trimming, boning, etc. So in the end your paying around 6 bucks a pound for soup bones, but 6 bucks a pound for steak as well.
You can't think of it that way though, your getting prime, naturally raised beef in your freezer, ahead of the game. YES, if you watch sales, take cheaper cuts, hold your nose, etc; you can find cheaper beef. Costco can provide cheaper beef, We won't even pretend to compete. Costco (and others) often have sales at a loss, to get you in and fill that giant cart with other things. I sell wonderful tasting, and ethically raised beef.
Your best bet is to find friends, or family, willing to split a half; quarters are not an option. I know freezer space, and money-up-front is an issue, find some friendly options. If we learned anything from 2020 is that sometimes supplies can mysteriously dry up. This is a once a year occasion, I get so many calls from people that ask if we have beef for sale in July, the answer is always No. The timing is about herd size, feed availability, etc. Just like any other farming, there is planting and harvest; harvest is now.
