About
Welcome to Shady Grove Ranch, a family-owned farm rooted in the principles of sustainability and health. Founded by Matt and Jerica Cadman, our journey began when we moved to East Texas in 2010, ready to revolutionize how meat is produced. Deeply impacted by personal health challenges, particularly Matt's struggle with ulcerative colitis, we set out to create a source of truly natural and healthy meats.
Using rotational grazing practices, we ensure that our animals graze in a way that enriches the soil and promotes environmental stewardship. We choose to avoid genetically-engineered feeds and additives, reflecting our commitment to transparency and wholesome food production. Our family believes that the food you eat is critical to your health and well-being, and we work tirelessly to ensure every bite supports that belief.
Highlights
At Shady Grove Ranch, we prioritize the values of health, sustainability, and ethical farming. Our family has come together to realize the dream of a pasture-based farm, where we raise our animals in a natural environment that enhances their well-being and provides delicious, nutritious meat.
We are proud to offer meat products that not only taste better but also come with the peace of mind knowing they are raised without harmful substances. Our rotational grazing not only benefits the land but also increases nutrient content in our meat, giving our patrons the healthiest product possible. Our commitment extends beyond just farming; it's about fostering a community that values clean food and environmental responsibility. With our roots deep in family, health, and sustainability, we invite you to join us on this journey to better food.
