Tangled Bank Farm is located in southeast Minnesota, between Lake Pepin and the Zumbro River. Our farm has fertile ridgetops and steep wooded hillsides, where we foster a diversity of plant and animal life. Traditional Shorthorn beef cows roam our pastures, summer and winter.

Welcome to Tangled Bank Farm
Tangled Bank Farm is dedicated to producing high quality, healthful and tasty grassfed meat. Our farm is USDA certified organic and our livestock are 100% grassfed. We adhere to organic rules in order to provide a safe environment for ourselves and our livestock, and we follow the principles of deep sustainability to develop the health of our soil. From healthy soil come healthy animals, and from healthy animals come healthy, nutrient-dense foods.
No pesticides of any kind have been used on our farm for many years. Our pastures have been seeded with a mix of 18 different grasses, legumes, and forbs; our goal is to develop pastures with as much diversity as possible. We already see clovers and other plants growing from the seed bank in the soil, increasing diversity further. We are working to develop the microbiological life in the soil, which will develop natural fertility to feed the pastures, feeding the livestock and ultimately ourselves.

OUR LIVESTOCK
Our cattle are of the Shorthorn breed, one of the oldest established British breeds of beef cattle. Our cows are old-fashioned cows that are adapted to living outside year around, eating fresh green pastures in summer and hay in the winter, cut from the same pastures. We make sure our calves nurse their mothers for many months, as they grow and develop, learning from their mothers how to graze our farm.
Our cattle are 100% grassfed; they never eat grain. This ensures that their meat will be high in Omega 3’s and Conjugated Linoleic Acids and low in Omega 6’s. Our meat is leaner than grain-fed meat, and has a much healthier nutritional profile.
What we do...
Our specialty product is milked rosy veal. Our veal calves are harvested while still nursing their mothers, at 7 - 9 months. This delivers a tender, rosy-colored meat with a deep flavor and luxurious texture. Veal is available in winter and early spring. Our grass-fed beef is available year around, in limited quantities.
We sell to fine restaurants and specialty butcher shops.
