Beltie Beef LLC/Caldwell Farms

In 2005, noticing the lack of availability of certified organic beef sausage, particularly beef summer sausage, the business decided to develop an entirely new product. They aimed to create a healthier sausage product that was lower in fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and free from nitrite preservatives and monosodium glutamate.

The business uses certified organic grass-fed Belted Galloway cattle, a heritage breed, to produce their beef products. They prioritize maintaining the vitamin and polyunsaturated fatty acid content characteristic of grass-fed beef.

The partnership with Peter Blokhuis, a USDA and Certified Organic processor schooled in European methods of meat processing and sausage production, was critical to developing their unique summer sausage product.
