Grass-fed & pasture-raised

Meat raised on grass, shipped on ice

A family cattle and hog farm on the driftless ridges. Every cut is flash-frozen at harvest and shipped cold, so it arrives exactly as it left the barn.

Our story

Four hundred acres of coulee and pasture

Coulee Bend began as a cow-calf operation in 1978 and grew into a whole-diet livestock farm when the next generation came home to the land.

Our animals move to fresh grass daily, finish on pasture, and never see a feedlot. What that costs in time, it returns in the eating.

We harvest to order and freeze at the peak, then pack every box with enough dry ice to reach your door still solid.

How we ship

Cold from our barn to your door

Frozen meat is perishable freight. Here is exactly how we keep it solid in transit — read this before you order.

  • Flash-frozen at harvest

    Every cut is frozen within hours of processing and stays frozen until it reaches you — never thawed and refrozen.

  • Insulated boxes + dry ice

    Orders ship in insulated liners packed with enough dry ice to stay frozen for up to 48 hours in transit.

  • Expedited transit only

    We ship 1–2 day service so your box spends as little time in the cold chain as possible. No ground shipping on meat.

Ship days

We ship Monday–Wednesday only.

Shipping early in the week keeps your box out of a weekend warehouse. Orders placed Thursday–Sunday go out the following Monday.

We ship Monday through Wednesday
