Our Story

Moraine Park Farms is owned and managed by Tom and Tracy Dykstra, with help from their sons, Deacon and Crew.

Named after the landscape left behind by the glaciers that carved the Great Lakes, Moraine Park Farms consists of the family farm in Zeeland, Michigan, as well as the historic ranch and grazing lands in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

We created Craft Beef ™ to supply chefs and consumers in Michigan with a gourmet-quality local product, produced in a healthy, sustainable manner

What is Craft Beef™?

Craft Beef™ was created to fill the gap between grass-fed beef and commodity beef. It is antibiotic and hormone free and produced entirely in Michigan by Moraine Park Farms in the upper and lower peninsula.

What do our cows eat?

Our cattle are fed a healthy balance of grasses and legumes (alfalfa/clover) that you would expect cattle to eat when grazing pastures, but they are also fed a special blend of natural supplements such as brewers grains (barley), flax, apples, and cherries that give Craft Beef™ its unique flavor profile and tenderness.

How do I get it?

Craft Beef is available at retailers, restaurants and directly from the farm.
