About Us

Thank you so much for supporting our farm.

Our small family farm in Michigan began with a simple goal: to provide high-quality, farm-fresh meats to our local community. We started selling our grass-fed beef at farmers' markets in 2007, backed by over 50 years of farming and animal care experience. As awareness grew around factory farming, so did our business. While we've expanded to serve much of the country, our mission remains the same—offering exceptional service and honest, pasture-raised meats.

We now ship across the U.S., excluding Alaska and Hawaii, so more families can enjoy our farm-raised products delivered right to their door.

Why Choose John Henry’s Meats

Everyone wants meat that’s humanely raised and sustainably sourced—but it’s hard to find. In the U.S., the vast majority of meat comes from factory farms, where animals often live in cramped, unnatural conditions and are given hormones or antibiotics just to survive.

At John Henry’s Meats, we do things differently. Our animals are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and treated with care—just the way nature intended.

At John Henry’s Meats, we offer something truly special—grass-fed, grass-finished beef, along with pastured pork and poultry, all raised right here on our Michigan farm. Our animals live outdoors year-round, enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and specially planted forage. They're never given antibiotics or hormones.

Every cut is butchered by hand, just for you. We welcome custom cuts and packaging, so you never have to settle for standard.

How John Henry’s Changes Everything

Choosing John Henry’s Meats means standing up against factory farming and supporting a better way forward. Our animals are raised humanely and sustainably—with room to roam, forage, and live as nature intended.

We feed them only GMO-free, soy-free diets:

Pigs eat corn, oats, and alfalfa

Laying hens get corn, alfalfa, oyster shells, and bugs

Meat birds (Chicken & Turkeys) enjoy corn, oats, peas, and bugs

Cows are 100% grass-fed—grazing on pasture when available, and eating hay and fermented silage in winter

No antibiotics. No hormones. Just healthy, happy animals and incredibly flavorful, nutrient-rich meat.

Supporting John Henry’s Meats is more than a meal choice—it’s a choice for real change.
