The Acre & Plate directory has grown to 48 ranches across the U.S. selling beef from named herds: Fullblood Wagyu, Akaushi, heritage breeds, and grass-fed family ranches. Each ranch is verified from its public website.

One new verified ranch since the 47 milestone: Sunset Ridge Beef. The listing header says Morris, NY, and the same page also says New York's Butternut Valley and Zrowka Family Ranch (all-natural premium Angus; pasture-raised, free to roam with no confinement; fed native grasses only; no hormones or antibiotics; New York Grown & Certified).

Same rule as always: not grocery-store marketing, just working ranches selling direct to people who care where dinner came from. Browse by breed and state at acreandplate.com/listings. Ranch partners who want premium placement can see Featured Ranch at acreandplate.com/featured (one-pager: PDF).
