The Acre & Plate directory has grown to 55 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 54 milestone: Flying B Beef, a family-owned beef operation in Catheys Valley, Mariposa County, California (Black Angus; bred, born, raised, grazed, and finished in California; 100% pasture-raised in the central California foothills with rotational grazing; all grass-fed, with beef boxes grain-finished; grass-finished whole shares once a year, with spring reservations ready May–June). Pickup is in downtown Mariposa, with free bulk-share delivery within about an hour of Catheys Valley.

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).
